Intelligent Support System for Intra-Hospital Medicine & Sample Logistics

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

The prototype of the Intelligent Support System must demonstrate measurable performance in both simulation and limited real-world testing. It should achieve a service level agreement compliance of at least 95% across all deliveries, with average delivery times kept within 8 minutes for routine orders and 4 minutes for STAT or urgent orders. The system must be capable of handling at least 50 concurrent requests while keeping scheduling latency under 1 second to ensure real-time operation. Forecasting of delivery demand should reach a minimum accuracy of 85% based on a dataset of no less than 500 historical or simulated orders. Uptime of the system should be at least 98% to guarantee reliability. The user interface should support at least 10 simultaneous users, including pharmacy staff, ward nurses, and hospital managers. Constraints include limiting the pilot scope to one hospital floor, excluding cold-chain items in the initial phase, not storing any protected health information, and keeping hardware prototypes under 5,000 SAR.
