Healthcare
Optimizing patient flows and hospital resources is a central challenge to ensure a safe, seamless, and equitable care pathway. With growing pressure on hospitals and clinics, healthcare providers must deal with limited bed capacity, scarce equipment, and shortages of qualified staff. Thanks to our planning tools powered by decision-driven AI, it becomes possible to simultaneously manage hospital logistics, caregiver scheduling, and patient pathways, within a systemic and robust approach.
