Designing Digital Health Prototypes for Ibn Sina Hospital

Pubblico Deposited

This project focused on the implementation of digital technologies in the Moroccan healthcare sector. It sought to assist the International University of Rabat in identifying and examining the role of digital health technologies and developing prototypes for the Ibn Sina Hospital in Rabat. UIR’s newly founded Faculty of Medicine and new university hospital center was the inspiration behind the collaboration with this project. Two prototypes were developed for the surgical and sterilization departments at Ibn Sina Hospital to improve efficiency and streamline data flow processes. The prototypes consisted of a data flow system for the surgical management staff to aid in the analysis of surgical trends and a barcode inventory tracking system for the sterilization department to prevent lost or misplaced surgical instruments. Overall, the project presented specific technological solutions that can be further developed and implemented within other hospitals and health centers in Morocco, promoting a sustainable trajectory in the country’s healthcare sector.
