Digital Transformation Of Hospital Maintenance Via Entrepreneurial Solutions: A Case Study Of The “e-signal” Startup Project At Ehs Mother And Child, Tlemcen
Authors : Benhamou Mohamed . Benabdallah Salah Eddine .
Abstract
Efficient maintenance of medical equipment is critical for patient safety and service quality in public hospitals. This study addresses the inefficiencies of traditional paper-based maintenance reporting at the Specialized Hospital Establishment (EHS) Mother and Child in Tlemcen. Preliminary observations reveal that the current manual system leads to significant delays, ranging from 4 hours to several days, posing serious risks, particularly with critical equipment like neonatal incubators. To resolve this, this paper presents "E-Signal," an innovative digital solution developed under the Ministerial Decree 1275 for university startups. By replacing physical logbooks with a smart mobile application using QR code technology, the proposed solution aims to streamline the reporting process, ensure real-time notification of technicians, and reduce downtime. The study adopts an exploratory case study methodology combined with an agile development approach to demonstrate how entrepreneurial digital tools can enhance workflow efficiency and healthcare reliability in the Algerian public sector.
