or leveraging analytics and fault detection to identify any issues that may occur . Emergency notifications can then be ‘ pushed ’ to occupants , alerting them to critical events .
It ’ s not only offices where Siemens technology has a crucial part to play . Hospitals , of course , have become a focus of late , with Siemens providing the technology for isolation rooms for a number of hospitals . “ In a hospital there are negative pressure rooms and positive pressure rooms ,” Manzoor explains . “ An isolation room needs technology to keep negative pressure in the room so that germs are not spread outside the room . Positive pressure rooms are , for instance , operating rooms , where we want germs to leave . We provide the control and sensor technology to go into those rooms and sense factors such as air pressure , temperature and humidity , and using all of that information , we can then control the air movement .”
Siemens has a long track record of working with hospitals in epidemic situations , with its proven credentials leading to trust from hospitals .
