Contest to explore how IoT and smart edge devices affect hospital environments  

Schneider Electric recently launched its Healthcare Crowdsourcing Challenge, which will explore the potential impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart edge devices on hospital electrical distribution.

The company presents this challenge to U.S. professional engineers or teams with engineers in scope to better define the needs and potential impact of IoT and smart edge devices on the design, monitoring, analytics, and maintenance of electrical distribution systems in hospitals.
