Medical Trial

Schneider Electric is working with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH)
to trial new technologies, such as personalised and voice-activated environmental room controls for patients.

The technology gives patients independence to control the temperature, blinds and lighting in their own rooms. This is done via a bedside terminal or by
voice activation for patients
with reduced mobility. Having autonomy means patients are less reliant on clinical staff to do this for them, alleviating pressure on staff and giving them more time to focus on patient care.

The pilot scheme is
being carried out at Linden Lodge, NUH’s current 25-bed neuro-rehabilitation unit. The aim is to trial and evaluate several technology innovations in a live setting before selecting the best options for the new National Rehabilitation Centre which is due to receive its first patients in summer 2025 following a £105 million investment.

At Linden Lodge, Schneider Electric has installed its EcoStruxure Connected Room Solutions for Healthcare, a platform designed to provide individual room control of environmental factors. It connects directly with Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Building Data Platform and EcoStruxure HVAC, linking and controlling IoT-enabled devices to the platform securely.
