Digital Twins for Infection Control in Hospitals: Supporting Safer Healthcare Environments
Infection prevention has always been central to safe healthcare, but COVID-19 exposed how vulnerable hospitals can be to outbreaks. Digital twins like Twinview offer hospitals real-time insight into how buildings are used, from patient flow and air quality to occupancy and cleaning. By creating a live 3D model of the facility, Twinview helps teams identify high-risk areas, optimise ventilation and target cleaning where it’s needed most. It supports smarter admissions, safer waiting areas and data-driven decisions that reduce infection risks. Rather than predicting every outbreak, Twinview highlights unsafe conditions early, empowering hospitals to act fast. Integrated with IoT sensors and building systems, it enhances compliance, safety and efficiency. As digital twin technology evolves, Twinview’s potential grows, supporting AI-driven analytics, clinical integration and sustainable, infection-resilient hospital design for the future.
