Ideal joins The Lister Alliance

Advancing digital technology in healthcare

The Lister Alliance is bringing together NHS Trusts, practitioners, industry and academia to reshape the future of healthcare technology, creating better outcomes for patients. 

Ideal has become an official partner, bringing leading-edge Smart Building expertise to improve the patient, staff and visitor experience within hospitals, primary care and community care. 

Creating a data-driven ecosystem for the NHS

Using the latest Network, Wi-Fi and Cyber Security technologies – and seamlessly integrating with Building Management Systems, Sensors and The Internet of Things – the vision is to create a data-driven ecosystem that can enhance everything from individual patient comfort to real-time bed availability and hospital-wide security. 

Real-time data at the heart of decision-making

Richard Evans, Chief Solutions Officer at Ideal, says that this a proven model in commercial buildings that could significantly benefit the NHS. 

 “A truly converged network gives you real-time data at the heart of decision-making. That can enhance environmental controls across a hospital or ward, increase safety and security for patients and staff, enable a more efficient use of spaces and facilities, save energy and create more sustainable operations. 

“… a proven, fully adaptable approach…”  

“In our Intelligent Ready Buildings (IRB) model, delivered by Ideal as a fully managed service framework, we already have a proven, fully adaptable integrated blueprint approach to Smart Buildings that aligns with Intelligent Hospital Capabilities (IHCs) and can be replicated across brand new hospitals, new wings or facility upgrades and refits. 

 “We’re looking forward to working with other partners in The Lister Alliance to deliver Living Labs that will show frontline health professionals how this Smart Building technology can enhance accessible, efficient and personalised healthcare across the NHS.”
