Real-Time Bed Management and Patient Flow
We are looking for solutions that make a hospital's bed capacity transparent across sites and in real time, thereby controlling bed management along occupancy, transfer, and discharge via an intelligent platform.
Real-Time Bed Management and Patient Flow
We are looking for solutions that make a hospital's bed capacity transparent across sites and in real time, thereby controlling bed management along occupancy, transfer, and discharge via an intelligent platform.
Key Challenge Partner
Our hub partner UKGM currently manages bed capacities at the Gießen and Marburg sites predominantly manually. This results in long admission-to-bed times, inefficient occupancy, and blocked wards or emergency departments, even though free beds are available in the house. The data exists but is not accessible and usable in real time.

Final Blueprint
A central platform displays the bed occupancy of both sites in real time and enables efficient capacity management. AI-supported forecasts predict the utilization of the next 24 to 72 hours, closely integrated with, for example, OR planning and discharge management. Calling around to find free beds becomes a thing of the past, and the hospital remains manageable at all times, even in crisis situations.

Industry Bottlenecks
Manually calling around to find free beds is error-prone and time-consuming.
There is a lack of a cross-site, real-time view of occupancy.
Every regulatory adjustment turns into a standalone IT project.

FAQs

No. Participation in LOVEDIS is free for startups — including access to infrastructures, expert teams, and program resources.
Our program is two-tiered and results-driven. All teams begin with the three-month Base Accelerator. High-performing teams then qualify for the subsequent 1:1 Accelerator, where we spend an additional three months working intensively and individually on your scaling strategy.
Yes — if you are a tech startup with a prototype or MVP and a clear goal to validate or scale together with industry partners.
The Base Accelerator works well in a hybrid format. The 1:1 Accelerator includes on-site phases with our hub partners to validate and develop your solution in real environments.
We focus on teams beyond the pure idea stage. You should have a prototype, MVP, or early product that can be tested, validated, and further developed with partners.
No. Incorporation is not required for application. A GmbH or similar structure is helpful later — but not a condition to enter the program.
Yes. We welcome European and international teams — as long as they’re willing to collaborate with our industry and hub partners.
We focus on technologies with strong industrial relevance, particularly in LifeScience, Construction, and Industry & Automation. Cross-industry solutions are explicitly welcome.
No — LOVEDIS does not take equity.
