What Will the Hospital of 2040 Need? 

Scenario Planning for Exponential Increases in Healthcare Data, AI, and Energy Demands

Technology is advancing at a pace that promises efficiency and better care, but only if hospitals have the infrastructure and reliable energy to support it. At the same time, healthcare leaders must navigate limited funding while making the right long-term decisions. We’ll explore what hospitals of 2040 will need to thrive amid exponential growth in healthcare data, AI, and digital technologies.

Drawing on lessons from projects like the Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital and the new Surrey Hospital and BC Cancer Centre, we’ll demonstrate how futureproofing and energy resiliency strategies drive business value—not just solve engineering challenges.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Anticipate and plan for the operational and energy impacts of AI, connected devices, and digital imaging.
  • Align and integrate electrical systems, IT infrastructure, and sustainability strategies from the start.
  • Apply lessons from real-world examples of hospitals already balancing technology and resiliency.

Hospitals that succeed will treat technology and energy resiliency as strategic investments. Join us to discover practical strategies to protect patient safety, strengthen operations, and build lasting trust.
