Smart Hospitals Where No One Gets Lost: Pilot Patient Navigation System Launched in Krnov

Smart Hospitals Where No One Gets Lost: Pilot Patient Navigation System Launched in Krnov

At POWER, we designed and are gradually implementing a Comprehensive Patient Navigation and Check-in System for the Krnov Hospital (SZZ Krnov).

Based on an initial concept study, we have successfully deployed the first phase:

  • Main entrance orientation display: Provides immediate guidance upon arrival.
  • Interactive 55" wayfinding kiosks: Touchscreens with maps located at key junctions.
  • E-Paper door signs (ESL): Wireless displays at clinic doors updated remotely with minimal power consumption.
  • Self-service payment kiosks: Fast cash and contactless card payments.

Upcoming phases include a patient queue management system and Digital Signage for waiting rooms.

This project serves as a standardized, modular pilot model easily adaptable for any hospital. The benefits for patient comfort were also highlighted by Hospital Director and Vice-Chairman of the Senate of the Czech Republic, MUDr. Ladislav Václavec, MBA.
