The Materno Infantil Hospital in Málaga has implemented a new technological tool that will allow parents and family members of patients to follow their surgical journey in real time.
Real-time surgical tracking
The new application, called MYSPHERA, is used in the paediatric surgical area and provides information about the location of children during their surgical process. This aims to help families face the waiting time with greater peace of mind and confidence.
The head of the Paediatric Surgery Department, Nuria García, has emphasised the importance of keeping families informed during these moments of concern, which in turn improves coordination among the healthcare professionals involved in the process.
Operation and benefits of the system
The MYSPHERA system operates through a tracking device assigned to the patient, which automatically updates during the different phases of the process, such as pre-operative, operating room, and recovery. This mechanism allows healthcare professionals to be better organised and efficiently coordinate care for patients.
Additionally, the platform provides shared information among the different care teams, such as nursing and nursing assistants, facilitating continuity of care.
The implementation of this technology required collaboration from various services within the hospital, including IT, Maintenance, and Biomedical Engineering. According to Jerónimo López, head of the Biomedical Engineering Department, this project reflects the importance of coordination among different services to provide more humane care for the youngest patients and assist their families in difficult times.
The system not only provides real-time tracking but will also allow professionals to analyse and improve the organisation of care circuits, identifying potential delays and optimising the use of operating rooms.
