Regency Specialist Hospital has launched Johor’s first Next-Gen Smart Ward, marking a significant advancement in patient care through the integration of advanced digital technology. Developed in collaboration with Chang Gung Medical Foundation, Lanseed Medical Group, and Origin Integrated Studios, the smart ward aims to enhance safety, efficiency, and personalisation in healthcare delivery.
The launch event, held on 11 October, also featured a Smart Hospital Forum, bringing together healthcare leaders, clinicians, and technology partners to discuss the future of digital healthcare in Malaysia. Serena Yong, CEO of Regency Specialist Hospital, highlighted the ward’s design, which balances efficiency and compassionate care, allowing healthcare teams to focus more on patient interaction.
Key features of the smart ward include a nurse dashboard, smart bedside terminals, and real-time monitoring systems. These innovations are expected to reduce manual data entry by 67%, improve response times by 16%, and enhance team communication. The smart ward also empowers patients by enabling them to request assistance and access their care plans directly from their bedside terminals.
This initiative is part of a strategic collaboration with Chang Gung Medical Foundation, known for its expertise in smart hospital innovations. The partnership underscores Regency Specialist Hospital’s commitment to setting new benchmarks in healthcare, combining global expertise with local innovation to deliver safer and more patient-centred services.
As the first of its kind in Johor, the Next-Gen Smart Ward represents a transformative step in healthcare, promising a more humane and meaningful patient experience.
