    We present a simulation-powered dynamic building activities management system, intended to help coordinate distributed decision-making activities in sensor-equipped complex buildings, such as healthcare facilities. It provides overall “awareness” of the current state of the facility and analyzes the impact of simulated alternative future actions of each actor in every space, simultaneously. These analytics are evaluated according to Key Performance Indicators (KPI), resulting in a recommendation for enacting the most desirable outcome. A preliminary simulation study based on St. Bernardine Medical Center (SBMC) Cardiac Catheterization Lab (CCL) is presented.

    Future healthcare systems require smart hospitals with system-wide wireless communications and positioning functions, which cannot be facilitated by existing radio-frequency (RF) wireless technologies. In this paper, we present integrated design of a novel low-complexity received signal strength (RSS) based hybrid visible light communication (VLC) and indoor positioning (VLP) system. This VLC/VLP tracking system consist of host optical transceivers embedded in existing light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs and user-end optical tags, which interface with the existing 120AVC power wiring in a building. The new hybrid VLC/PLC tracking system was validated by simulation and experimentation. This LED VLC tracking system will enable smart hospital operations to modernize next-generation intelligent healthcare systems
