Empowering patients and staff with cutting-edge technology

Discover how Ramón y Cajal Hospital is leveraging advanced technologies to enhance patient care and empower staff to work more efficiently.

The three case studies that are being conducted, examines how these innovations are driving better outcomes and reshaping daily practice.

The three case studies include:

• Technology-assisted surgery: computer-assisted surgery techniques, including 3D imaging and CAD/CAM tools, are enabling precise reconstructions and orthognathic procedures for patients with craniofacial deformities. Cutting guides and implants are designed and manufactured using 3D printing, while navigation systems support precise, real-time corrections during surgery.

• VR-based physiotherapy: augmented reality glasses are integrated into the rehabilitation service, offering patients immersive exercises prescribed by physiotherapists and doctors. Tailored videos create engaging, effective therapy sessions that promote recovery and improve patient adherence.

• Cloud-based biobank management: the hospital’s biobank uses a digital platform to store, organize and retrieve biological samples. This system streamlines workflows for staff, supports advanced research with accurate data, and ensures secure collaboration among researchers and clinicians.

Is technology truly streamlining healthcare, or is it simply adding complexity to an already demanding system? Are these innovations improving patient outcomes or just changing how things are done without tangible benefits?
