Advances in real-time monitoring systems for hospital electrical installations

Over the past years, technological evolution has enabled advancements in real-time monitoring systems for hospital electrical installations. The integration of advanced systems provides constant supervision and real-time analysis, enhancing safety and optimizing energy management.

Electrical installations in hospitals are critical components that ensure the proper functioning of medical equipment, lighting in high-security areas, and emergency systems.

Interruptions or failures in the power supply can have devastating consequences for patient care and hospital staff.

Real-time monitoring systems are therefore vital tools to ensure the reliability of these infrastructures.

ETKHO Repeats Success at Arab Health 2025

Arab Health 2025, the world’s most prestigious hospital sector trade fair, concluded after three days of intense activity and an important announcement for 2026.

ETKHO has once again participated in Arab Health 2025. The fair, held from January 27 to 30 at the Dubai World Trade Center, marked its 50th edition as the largest healthcare event in the Middle East.

The event, under the theme “Investing in Impact: Redefining Healthcare through Innovation and Collaboration,” brought together over 3,800 exhibitors and welcomed more than 60,000 visitors, serving as a unique platform for innovation, collaboration, and education in the healthcare sector.

The drive for precision and quantum technologies in the medicine of the future

The conference “Anticipating the Medicine of the Future,” organized by the Fundación Instituto Roche, brought together nationally renowned experts to reflect and debate on areas and trends that will be key in the future of medicine.

The seventh edition focused on Precision Phenotyping, Quantum Technologies, and Precision Nutrition.

This initiative is part of the Future Medicine Trends Observatory, established in 2017 to foster the generation and dissemination of knowledge about Personalized Precision Medicine and to help position Spain at the forefront of health innovation.

The 41st Hospital Engineering Seminar closes with continued success

Hospital engineering celebrates another milestone on its path toward excellence in the healthcare system. Over three days, the FIBES II Congress Palace in Seville became the national hub for hospital engineering, hosting the 41st Hospital Engineering Seminar.

This edition brought together more than 1,500 participants, 120 exhibiting companies, and featured 13 discussion panels, establishing itself as a key reference point for the healthcare sector.

Organized by the Spanish Association of Hospital Engineering (AEIH), the seminar once again tackled crucial topics related to hospital infrastructure and technology, from cybersecurity to the use of renewable energy sources.

Medical burnout syndrome

Medical burnout syndrome has gained increasing attention in recent years due to its negative impact on both healthcare workers and the quality of patient care.

The WHO recognizes it as a phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been properly managed.

In healthcare, burnout is particularly concerning because it affects those on the frontlines of patient care, directly impacting safety and effectiveness in treatment.

Spain Leads a European Project on Training in Hospital Engineering

The University Hospital of Gran Canaria Doctor Negrín is leading a European project on training in hospital engineering, to be developed over three years with a budget of 400,000 euros, called Smart Healthcare Engineering.

This initiative is being launched in collaboration with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), Transilvania University (Romania), and Manisa University (Turkey), and will provide training to more than 60 final-year engineering students. This European project will begin its first year with on-site training in Gran Canaria.

The primary objective of this initiative, which is part of the Canary Islands Health Department, is to provide students with both theoretical and practical training, including visits to hospital facilities such as the Doctor Negrín Hospital.

Optimizing alarms in healthcare centers

The proliferation of alarms in modern healthcare facilities, while essential for patient safety, also poses some significant inconveniences for medical staff and patients.

It is all based on the fact that medical technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, providing hospitals with sophisticated monitoring and warning systems that allow early detection of complications.

In hospitals, for example, hundreds of auditory signals are recorded daily, but only a small proportion require immediate action. In fact, recent research has explored solutions that could make a significant difference in the management of these alarms, benefiting both healthcare staff and patients.

XII Hospital Engineering Meeting: for continuous improvement in healthcare

On June 14 and 15, Zaragoza hosted the XII Hospital Engineering Meeting, an event organized by Redección Médica with the collaboration of the Spanish Association of Hospital Engineering (AEIH) and Carburos Metálicos.

The objective of this meeting was to enable a space for debate and exchange of ideas, reflections and proposals in the field of hospital engineers and architects, heads of engineering and maintenance services, heads of technical service, heads of studies and projects areas…

Gathered over two days, current issues in this area were once again shared in a meeting attended by the most representative members of this group.

3D technology and precision medicine in the hospital sector

3D technology has revolutionized numerous fields and precision medicine is no exception. In fact, this type of medicine is booming, driven by new advanced tools and technologies that bring doctors closer to patients, allowing the creation of treatments and devices adapted to each individual.

Advances in medical 3D printing technology have had a significant impact on various fields in the healthcare sector.

For patients, these new therapeutic tools and methods developed through 3D printing offer unprecedented levels of comfort and personalization in their treatments.

What the healthcare system demands in 2024

The commitment to training and continuous development programs will meet the demand for digital skills and specialization in disruptive technologies.

What are the demands of the healthcare industry in 2024?

Every April 7th, World Health Day is commemorated. A date marked on the calendar, since with each passing year it is more necessary to remember and celebrate it.

The WHO Council on Health Economics for All has found that, although at least 140 countries recognize health as a human right in their constitution, only four have developed a strategy on how to finance it.
