The Smart Hospital Oxygen Management Solution is a fully integrated digital platform designed to transform oxygen management across African healthcare systems. It combines ATAS O₂ real-time oxygen consumption monitoring with Mini CRIOTEL cryogenic tank monitoring to deliver complete, end-to-end visibility of oxygen from storage to patient use.

In many hospitals, oxygen is still managed through estimates rather than real-time data, leading to stockouts, wastage, inefficiencies, and avoidable risks to patient safety. This solution replaces guesswork with accurate monitoring, real-time analytics, and intelligent decision-making.

End-to-End Oxygen Intelligence System

The system connects the entire oxygen ecosystem into one integrated digital platform:

• Mini CRIOTEL – monitors liquid oxygen tank levels, pressure, and supply status in real time
• ATAS O₂ – measures oxygen flow and consumption at the patient bedside
• Cloud platform – aggregates data for dashboards, alerts, reporting, and national-level analytics

This creates a continuous visibility chain from oxygen storage → distribution → patient consumption, enabling full control and transparency.

ATAS O₂ – Real-Time Patient-Level Oxygen Monitoring

ATAS O₂ is a portable, medical-grade IoT device that provides precise oxygen consumption data directly at the point of care.

Key functions:

• Real-time oxygen flow measurement (L/min)
• Patient-level oxygen consumption tracking
• Detection of leaks, pressure drops, and abnormal flow patterns
• Continuous monitoring of oxygen therapy duration
• IoT-enabled dashboards for hospitals and health systems

Benefits:

• Improves patient safety and oxygen therapy accuracy
• Eliminates estimation in oxygen usage
• Reduces waste and uncontrolled consumption
• Supports clinical and operational decision-making
• Enables hospital and national oxygen accountability

Mini CRIOTEL – Smart Liquid Oxygen Tank Monitoring

Mini CRIOTEL provides continuous remote monitoring of cryogenic liquid oxygen storage systems used in hospitals and oxygen plants.

Key functions:

• Real-time liquid oxygen level and pressure monitoring
• Remote alerts for low levels, leaks, or abnormal conditions
• 4G/GPRS connectivity for cloud-based access
• Solar and battery-powered options for off-grid environments
• Rugged, industrial-grade design for African conditions

Benefits:

• Prevents unexpected oxygen stockouts
• Enables predictive refill scheduling
• Reduces emergency delivery costs
• Improves oxygen logistics and supply chain planning
• Ensures uninterrupted oxygen availability for critical care

Why the Combined System Matters

When ATAS O₂ and Mini CRIOTEL are deployed together, hospitals gain a fully integrated oxygen intelligence system:

• Complete oxygen visibility from tank to patient
• Predictive supply chain management based on real consumption data
• Up to 20% reduction in oxygen wastage through leak and inefficiency detection
• Improved patient safety, especially in ICUs, neonatal, and emergency care
• National health system intelligence for planning, procurement, and budgeting

Designed for African Healthcare Environments

This solution is engineered specifically for real-world conditions across Africa:

• Works with unstable or intermittent power supply
• Supports GSM, NB-IoT, and 4G connectivity
• Solar and low-energy operation options
• Durable, hospital-grade hardware for long-term deployment
• Remote monitoring to reduce on-site maintenance needs

Healthcare Impact

Hospitals and health systems deploying this solution typically achieve:

• Up to 20% reduction in oxygen consumption
• Fewer emergency oxygen deliveries
• Improved ICU and emergency readiness
• Lower operational and logistics costs
• Stronger compliance and accountability in oxygen usage
• Rapid return on investment in high-demand facilities

Use Cases

• Intensive Care Units (ICU)
• Neonatal and paediatric wards
• Emergency and trauma centres
• National and regional hospitals
• Oxygen plants and distributors
• Public health emergency response systems
• Donor-funded healthcare programmes

Conclusion

These devices and application creates a powerful, data-driven oxygen management ecosystem that replaces estimation with precision, transparency, and control.

By enabling real-time monitoring across oxygen supply and consumption, the system strengthens healthcare resilience, improves efficiency, and enhances patient outcomes.

Aligned with the Unitaid vision for sustainable oxygen innovation and equitable access to medical oxygen, this solution supports global best practice in oxygen intelligence. It empowers health systems across Africa to move toward data-driven decision-making, improved accountability, and long-term oxygen sustainability, ensuring oxygen is continuously monitored, efficiently managed, and reliably available when and where it is needed most.
