Hitachi selected for ICT-based green hospital demonstration project in India

Hitachi and Hitachi India have been selected by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to undertake a feasibility study in India for an ICT-based green hospital demonstration project (the demonstration project) which facilitates hospital’s energy saving.

The demonstration project will enable the tracking and visualisation of a hospital’s overall energy use by putting an IT system environment in place and upgrading to highly efficient systems and equipment. It will facilitate energy conservation by optimising overall energy use. A preliminary survey to confirm the activities of the demonstration project and decide on other matters will be undertaken from April to October 2015. Following a review by a screening committee at NEDO, the demonstration project is aimed to run for approximately two years.

Naotoshi Nishida, Vice President, Infrastructure Systems Company, Hitachi India said, “Data storage and energy management system for more efficient healthcare service are very important. We are glad that we can participate to this project; because, Hitachi India executes long-term operation and management for energy and data management service and simultaneously expands the data analysis for further improvement in handling increasing patients efficiently.”

Tetsuya Tanaka, Chief Representative, NEDO New Delhi said, “NEDO supports collaboration between Japanese enterprise and developing country’s body. We would like to strengthen India-Japan relationship by materialising this project through Hitachi for taking initiative to work in direction of making Green Hospital in India by introducing efficient energy management system.”
