Smart campus clinical environment automation pilot
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
Integrating IoT sensor arrays within critical care estates to monitor air quality, bed occupancy and asset locations in real-time.
35%
Reduction in time spent searching for assets

Wards covered by the pilot
Real-time
Air quality, bed occupancy and asset location data
The Challenge
Estates Without Live Data
Clinical teams had no live picture of air quality, bed occupancy or where equipment was.
Time lost searching for assets came directly out of patient-facing hours.
Our Approach
A Measured Pilot First
SCFH scoped a focused pilot across three wards with clear success measures agreed up front.
We integrated IoT sensor arrays into existing systems so the data landed where staff already worked.
The Impact
Measurable Transformation
Live estate picture
Air quality, occupancy and asset location visible in real time.
Hours back to wards
Less time searching for equipment, more time with patients.
Proven before scaling
A measured pilot gave a defensible case for wider rollout.
Staff adoption
Data surfaced inside the tools teams already use.
The pilot gave us evidence, not opinions — and a clear case for scaling.
