Creating environments that care With a growing demand for healthcare services, an ageing population, increasing patient expectations and increasingly complex regulations, a hospital must be much more than just a building. A smart hospital is an intelligent and interconnected ecosystem that speeds up recovery and response to emergencies, reduces energy costs and minimizes environmental impact to make the patients feel better even before the treatment begins.

At Sint-Maarten Hospital in Belgium, data and technology actively contribute to the daily work, freeing up valuable time, so the staff can focus on what really matters – the patients.

An environment that cares about people Sint-Maarten Hospital is a newly built facility. The hospital has 643 beds and 96 day patient beds, combining both the latest developments in technology and society to create an intelligent interconnected ecosystem that is constantly learning and adapting to staff and patient’s needs.

Patient satisfaction

A hospital stay always involves a loss of control. Studies show that a comfortable environment has a positive impact on the healing process, making people feel better even before the treatment begins.

Enhanced staff productivity and cost effectiveness

Growing demands and cost reductions have a direct impact on the daily routine of the hospital staff. Smart building technology helps transform processes: both for the people healing and those helping them to heal.

Facts Discover all the facets of a smart environment that maximizes the opportunity for recovery. Right from the planning phase, the latest technology has had a huge impact on how the Sint-Maarten hospital provides optimum conditions for both patients and staff. Have look at the facts video and the interviews to discover all the facets of a smart hospital that represents the future of healthcare.

“This hospital is at the heart of our community.”

Bart Somers, Mayor of Mechelen

“The entire integration allows us to work in optimal conditions and corresponds with our mission and oath.”

Birger Jespers, Chief Medical Officer

“It’s evolution of building technology into smart buildings.”

Serge Molinari, Vice President Building Technologies, Siemens Belgium Luxemburg

“Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been the link between all the different parties involved in building this project.”

Heidi Denoulet, Architect - principal architecture at VK Architects & Engineers

Erik Vereecken, Architect - project director at VK Architects & Engineers

“A smart building means to me that you have easy access to the required data to enable quick interventions and to base your management on.”

Jan Claesen, Technical Director

“To ensure best care we have to ensure the highest compliance with regulatory requirements.”

Evelien Raman, Patient Safety & Quality Manager

“If patients feel good, I feel good.”

Julie Demarré, Nursing Team

“The best location you could wish for to offer perfect patient care.”

Evelien Raman, Patient Safety & Quality Manager

“This is all integrated in our technological platform so we can respond very quickly.”

Jan Claesen, Technical Director

“Fire Safety can’t be a separate system. Because when a fire detector is triggered ventilation systems and other technologies need to be shut down too - so you need an integrated system.”

Jan Claesen, Technical Director

“We have made sure we were in tune with the latest evaluations in creating a welcoming building as well as comfort and privacy for patients”

Jan Ennekens, Hospital Director

Built to evolve

Like every aspect of our lives, digitalization is transforming the entire building lifecycle and offering new ways to optimize business processes for the well-being, comfort and safety of patients and staff.

Regulations are becoming more and more complex, requiring technology that ensures the highest compliance with regulatory requirements. While BIM clearly allows us to plan and construct buildings with greater insight, it also creates significant benefits that are realized during the operation phase.

Built to optimize

In a fast-moving environment, it is especially important to increase efficiency and simplify processes to react quickly.

The cloud-based energy and sustainability platform Navigator ensures greater transparency for increased energy and operational efficiency. Together with the integrated building management platform Desigo CC that connects all disciplines it provides fast reaction when needed.

Built for comfort

Comprehensive fire safety and security solutions have been adapted to ensure that patients are protected without compromising their comfort.

Desigo Room Automation allows patients to control the temperature, ventilation and other functions in their room.
