Case Study: American Hospital of Paris improves patient care and hospital design with Dassault Systèmes Virtual Twin technology

American Hospital of Paris

The American Hospital of Paris faced the challenge of modernizing its facilities, including expanding its checkup center and constructing new operating rooms. The hospital needed to ensure these new spaces would enhance care quality, streamline workflows, and reduce stress for patients and staff before any physical construction began. To achieve this, they partnered with Dassault Systèmes to utilize its Virtual Twin as a Service approach and DELMIA applications for simulation.

Dassault Systèmes created detailed virtual twins of the hospital's future spaces, which staff explored using immersive VR. This process identified and resolved potential design flaws early, such as optimizing equipment placement. The solution prevented costly downstream rework, exemplified by relocating a light fixture during planning to avoid €100,000 in later expenses. The collaboration generated over 100 improvement suggestions, resulting in a design grounded in real-world clinical needs for smoother workflows and better patient outcomes.
