Abstract

The transition towards digital healthcare is considered by the EU as a successful approach to improve assistance access and care quality and to increase the efficiency of the healthcare system. The use of BIM, IoT technologies and ICT applications in the Architectural Engineering and Construction Industry (AEC) can provide important benefits to the implementation of effective design and management processes, revolutionising the design of buildings used to provide care and assistance services. Starting from the comparison with some design experimentation experiences carried out during the pandemic, this paper deals with the development of a digital model of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) where the BIM method is used to facilitate the interoperability of the data concerning IoT devices and the management of Facility Management activities linked to it.
