How Predictive Maintenance Is Transforming Hospital Operations
Introduction Hospitals face an invisible but critical threat every day: equipment failure. From ventilators to imaging machines, the malfunction of a single device can delay treatment, compromise patient outcomes, and even cost lives. According to GE Healthcare, over 60% of hospital equipment failures are preventable — yet many facilities still rely on reactive maintenance models. But that’s changing fast. The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is giving rise to predictive maintenance , a proactive approach that helps hospitals detect issues before they happen. This shift doesn’t just reduce downtime — it saves costs, improves resource planning, and ensures uninterrupted care delivery. In this post, we’ll explore how predictive maintenance powered by AI and IoT is transforming hospital operations, what makes it so effective, and how healthcare providers can leverage it to build smarter...
