Patient is the most important stakeholder of any healthcare facilities. Gone are the days when we used to design a healthcare setup based on our perception of what the patient could expect. Now we are living in a competitive environment where the patients’ expectation should not be guessed but have to offer the patient room as a space that let the patient customize as per their comfort during the stay in the facility. In a Healthcare facility designing, an Inpatient unit is very crucial because its physical infrastructure & built environment not only affect patients’ recovery but also Healthcare staff & facility outcome. IoT enabled healthcare facility helps the doctors to be more watchful of the patients’ activity and how their body responds to based on the data collected. However, integration of IoT in a healthcare facility is proving to be equally challenging. This paper shall cover overview of the technical considerations of planning and designing of Patient Room Unit in context of future emerging trends as well as implementation of IoT and patients experience. The Methodology shall be engagement of various techniques to gather information of healthcare facilities through observation, Literature review of published journals, academic papers, also Data collection in this qualitative study and basic concept background are investigated through online media and observation to work for qualitative analysis.
