Digital Hospitals: Merging sustainability and technology

12:30pm to 1:30pm, Wednesday 7th July

What do we mean by the term ‘Digital Hospitals’ and what factors are going to shape the design and development of digital hospitals into the future?

As we digitise our health services, a number of streams of data are created: this webinar will explore how to use that data to improve the purpose of hospitals.

Sustainability is also becoming a pressure point on health providers, both public and private. Using local and global examples panellists will discuss how hospitals can incorporate sustainability and energy efficiency into their design thinking.

HiNZ would like to thank Beca for sponsoring this webinar
