The engineer reinventing hospital traceability
Behind every technological advance lies a vision, a desire to improve what already exists. For Gaël, this vision is that of a more fluid, safer hospital, where traceability and metrology play an essential role. Trained as a general engineer, he has found Superwyze to be a unique testing ground, enabling him to design innovative solutions in total immersion with healthcare professionals.
The importance of terrain
Gaël’s work is not limited to technique. It involves constantly listening and adapting to the needs of the field. His immersion in the hospital world enabled him to measure the extreme diversity of the players involved: nurses, biomedical staff, technical services, pharmacists, logisticians… each with their own constraints and expectations.
In the field of asset tracking, he had to convince curious but reluctant customers, due to a lack of experience with the technology. On the other hand, temperature monitoring is part of a mature, highly standardized market, with precise requirements and little room for manoeuvre. Adapting solutions to these different contexts requires great flexibility.
A path to innovation
After two years of preparatory classes and a general engineering degree from ECAM, Gaël explored various sectors through his experiences: industrial production, hardware engineer in a start-up in Thailand, pharmaceutical logistics and, finally, Superwyze in 2021. As soon as he arrived, everything had to be built. He immersed himself in fields as varied as radio frequency, IoT, indoor geolocation and metrology. His challenge? To transform these technologies into concrete, industrializable solutions for hospitals.
Committed to a more efficient hospital
The challenge is immense: to make a name for oneself in a sector where metrology is perceived as a constraint, and where standardization is slow to evolve. And yet, Superwyze has managed to stay ahead of the game by remaining agile and responsive to hospital needs.
The results are in. In less than a year, the solutions developed by Gaël and his team have been acclaimed for their reliability and speed of implementation.
“What motivates me is to offer a solution that can’t be ignored, but is discreet. It has to be simple, reliable and unobtrusive. Our ultimate goal? That our technology becomes so fluid that it’s almost forgotten.”
Gaël Brousse embodies this generation of engineers for whom innovation is not limited to technology, but is rooted in a detailed understanding of the field. His ambition? That hospital technology should no longer be perceived as a challenge, but as a matter of course.
Metrology, a strategic lever
A discreet but omnipresent science, metrology is still little known to the general public. Yet it plays a key role in many sectors. As a member of the Collège Français de Métrologie (CFM), Gaël works to democratize this discipline and integrate new technologies into its practices.
It also closely follows standards and accreditations, in particular those of Cofrac, France’s reference body. Hospital traceability cannot tolerate inaccuracy: from sensor calibration to installation, every stage must be rigorously controlled.
Facilitating the adoption of new technologies
While technology is at the heart of his business, Gaël knows that its success depends on its adoption by users. Simplicity is his main concern. He ensures that each solution deployed is intuitive and integrates easily with existing practices.
When deploying a solution, his approach is methodical: identify needs, carry out an on-site study, train teams and ensure ongoing monitoring. He relies on co-construction with users, through tests, iterations and constant dialogue. By involving caregivers right from the design stage, he is able to overcome any reluctance to change.
