How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Hospital Ventilator Failures
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a surprising use of IoT: real-time monitoring of hospital ventilators to catch mechanical failures before they become critical. They focus on a 2025 pilot at Johns Hopkins Hospital where 150 ventilators were retrofitted with vibration and pressure sensors, reducing unplanned downtime by 63 percent. The conversation covers how edge analytics process data locally to avoid latency, the challenge of false alarms in a clinical setting, and why this matters as hospitals push toward predictive maintenance. Lucas brings in a comparison to industrial pumps…
