Abstract:
Managing medical devices efficiently was a challenge, especially with manual methods proving error-prone amid staff shortages. To overcome these issues, we developed a novel IoT powerstrip device for tracking usage and location. This helps monitor devices in real-time, empowering more efficient management and utilization. We introduced it in four hospitals, connecting 192 medical devices to the strips and quantitatively confirmed its effectiveness.
