Ensuring Water Resilience in Smart Hospitals : The Role of AI in Crisis Management and Resource Optimization

Verre, Filippo LU orcid (2026) p.47-63
Abstract

Water resilience plays a critical role in ensuring uninterrupted function in modern hospitals. Disturbance to the supply of this precious material creates robust issues in care and patient safety. This chapter explores how AI with IoT-based solutions can be used to enhance water management further for sustainability and reliability of supply in smart hospitals to solve or even prevent water crises that could generate irreparable damage to the patients. With modern AI-powered IoT, monitoring and supply of quality water in real-time, predictive maintenance, and demand forecasts are not only possible but highly used on a global scale. Such a situation optimizes resource allocation and prevents failure of the system. In this research, a few... (More)

Water resilience plays a critical role in ensuring uninterrupted function in modern hospitals. Disturbance to the supply of this precious material creates robust issues in care and patient safety. This chapter explores how AI with IoT-based solutions can be used to enhance water management further for sustainability and reliability of supply in smart hospitals to solve or even prevent water crises that could generate irreparable damage to the patients. With modern AI-powered IoT, monitoring and supply of quality water in real-time, predictive maintenance, and demand forecasts are not only possible but highly used on a global scale. Such a situation optimizes resource allocation and prevents failure of the system. In this research, a few case studies will be presented to illustrate the response mechanisms of smart technologies in cases of emergencies, including contamination or supply interruption challenges. Further, a discussion regarding ethical considerations dealing with data privacy and resource allocation equitably will be provided.
