Founded in 2013, Air-Fi specializes in offering advanced Wi-Fi communication solutions and industry applications, standing out for its innovative approach to optimizing workflows in environments with high user density.
In this context, the project presented to the Cervera line of CDTI is another step in its ambition to transform operational management within hospitals and health centers, specifically with regard to the assignment of tasks within the staff of guards. This R&D project seeks optimize hospital operations, improving efficiency in assigning tasks, reducing patient waiting times and ensuring a more agile workflow.
The technological need
Hospitals and medical centers face increasing challenges, such as rising operating costs, staff shortages and lack of technological integration. These factors result in longer wait times for patients and inefficient use of resources. In addition, fragmented technological systems and the lack of interoperability between different platforms hinder the smooth and efficient management of hospital processes.
Air-Fi has identified an opportunity to solve these problems by automating task assignment in hospitals using AI algorithms and novel positioning technology, specifically those to be performed by warders, who often manage logistics tasks within hospitals. The solution proposed by Air-Fi seeks to transform the way in which these tasks are managed, facilitating automatic assignment and improving communication between departments. The solution uses beacons, which, unlike traditional solutions, do not require a complex installation and a high cost, but can be installed and removed very easily.
The Solution: Air-Go Copilot Supervisor
The Air-Go Copilot Supervisor project is the key to addressing these challenges. This solution integrates several advanced technologies to optimize the assignment of tasks for warders, improving operational efficiency and significantly reducing patient waiting times. The system is based on the location of tasks, using real-time data to manage their assignment, and adapting the planning to the changing needs of the hospital.
Thanks to the integration of technologies such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Dijkstra Search Trees and Constraint Programming (CP), the system has the ability to adjust task assignments dynamically, based on the position of the warden within the hospital and allowing him to go, according to his position, to the nearest location where he is needed.
A key component of this solution is intelligent task prioritization, which ensures that the most critical tasks are managed immediately, resulting in improved hospital performance.
Expected impact
The implementation of the Air-Go Copilot Supervisor will allow for a series of substantial improvements for hospitals, both in operational terms and in the quality of patient care. It is estimated that automating the task assignment process could reduce patient waiting times, while optimizing resources and improving the well-being of healthcare personnel.
In addition, the workload of healthcare professionals is expected to be significantly alleviated, as the system automates much of the tasks that they currently have to do manually. Not only does this reduce worker stress and fatigue, but it also improves overall operational efficiency.
The Future of Air-Fi
With the financial support received through the CDTI, Air-Fi has ambitious plans to continue developing and implementing this solution in more hospitals, first nationally and then internationally. The company intends to take advantage of its previous experience in wireless communication and location solutions, expanding its portfolio to include automation technologies that improve all operational aspects within hospitals.
This project has the potential to establish Air-Fi as a benchmark in the digitalization of the healthcare sector, improving both the quality of service to patients and the efficiency of internal hospital operations.
How has Intelectium helped them?
The Intelectium team has worked together with Air-Fi to request and obtain funding through the CDTI Cervera line of more than 520,000€. This funding has allowed Air-Fi to continue developing its innovative solution, which not only has the potential to transform task management in hospitals, but also to reduce operating costs and significantly improve the quality of patient care.
The Cervera Air-Fi project is a clear example of how technology can transform the healthcare sector. By incorporating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and advanced location, the company is helping to improve operational efficiency and quality of service in hospitals. With the support of CDTI, Air-Fi is well positioned to continue its growth and expansion, bringing its solution to more hospitals and, eventually, internationally.
This case demonstrates how technological innovation in critical areas such as task management in hospitals can generate significant impacts, both in the improvement of internal processes and in the service offered to patients.
