Market Overview 2023-2028:
The global smart hospitals market is expected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1% during 2023-2028. The rising prevalence of chronic and acute indications, the increasing preference for outpatient stay due to its lower costs and convenience, and the widespread health consciousness represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Smart hospitals refer to healthcare facilities which leverage technology and data-driven approaches to provide high-quality patient care by enhancing existing patient care procedures. By utilizing electronic medical records (EMRs), they store patient information digitally, allowing easy access to patient data by healthcare providers as well as timely coordination of care. Smart hospitals also use AI-powered solutions for decision-making and resource management and advanced medical devices with the Internet of Things (IoT) integration that provide real-time data for monitoring, analysis, and diagnosis. They operate via sustainable technologies, such as energy-efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems, to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. These hospitals also provide remote care and enable remote consultation with healthcare providers via mobile apps, patient portals, and digital wayfinding systems. Some of the advantages of smart hospitals include improved patient outcomes, enhanced efficiency and communication, better patient experience, and sustainable development.

Smart Hospitals Market Trends:
The market is majorly driven by the escalating demand for advanced healthcare solutions with an enhanced focus on patient safety resulting in continuous upgradation of the existing healthcare infrastructures. In line with this, continual technological advancements in healthcare information technology (IT) services are creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Moreover, the increasing integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) leading to the advent of high-end automated medical procedures is providing an impetus to the market. Besides this, the rising need for reducing healthcare expenditure by optimizing hospital resource utilization is also resulting in a higher uptake of smart hospitals. The market is further driven by the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, which is resulting in the development of innovative healthcare systems with remote patient monitoring and telemedicine facilities. Additionally, a considerable rise in the geriatric population that is prone to a wide range of complex ailments is driving the demand for more advanced and personalized medical care services. Apart from this, the increasing investments by government bodies and private agencies in numerous healthcare modernization plans using robotics technology are further creating a positive outlook for the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid urbanization, the emergence of smart cities, increasing adoption of cloud computing and big data analytics, rising incidences of chronic diseases and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
