The reality in healthcare is complex: rising cost pressure, skilled labor shortage, high demands on operational safety. A digital twin addresses this – not as a 3D model, but as a networked, living replica of hospital operations.
What does that bring specifically?
• more informed decisions in real-time
continuous data from construction to operation
• more efficient processes across all trades
• more transparency and operational reliability
Using the example of the «Dreiklang» hospital new build by Kantonsspital Aarau AG, Adrian Staudenmaier and Martin Schelshorn show how a digital twin was specifically created for operations – and why precisely this focus is crucial.
