ONUMA Medical Planner

subscription (quote-required after 30-day trial) Design the Building

Web-based medical space-and-equipment planning system for healthcare facilities -- provides a cloud-based BIM platform with 2,100+ MILSTD 1691 medical equipment objects, pre-built room and department templates, and direct links to the Department of Veterans Affairs and DoD Defense Health Agency Space and Equipment Planning System (SEPS) data via APIs; bi-directional sync with Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft ArchiCAD, and SketchUp through the free ONUMA plug-in; exports COBie and IFC; 30-day free trial available with self-serve sign-up; made by ONUMA Inc.

Hidden Pricing

2.8 /5 composite score

Situational -- a genuine healthcare-specialist medical planning tool with MILSTD 1691 equipment objects, VA/DoD SEPS data links, and pre-built room/department templates that accelerate healthcare space programming; bi-directional Revit/ArchiCAD/SketchUp sync and IFC/COBie export are strong on portability, but quote-only pricing (RF1), a modest learning curve for BIM-based medical planning, and a niche healthcare-only scope limit the audience.

Also covers

ONUMA Medical Planner also appears in these sub-categories:

BIM Authoring

Secondary BIM placement for healthcare teams already running Revit or ArchiCAD -- the free ONUMA plug-in syncs medical equipment and room data bi-directionally, and IFC/COBie export keeps the data portable, but the platform is a planning layer rather than a BIM authoring replacement, and the value is in the SEPS-linked healthcare content rather than general BIM production.
