Real-time location system (RTLS) is a solution-ready package enabling the immediate location tracking and status monitoring of medical equipment, staff, and patients. The healthcare sector strives to improve patient experiences, reduce delays, and maintain a high quality of care. Using Ultra-Wide band (UWB) RTLS, healthcare providers can identify, locate, and track assets and resources; yielding a productive, efficient, and safe work environment.

RTLS can help to create a safer and more efficient workplace in nursing homes, health management centers, and hospitals. Locate, track, analyze, and view workplace from a new perspective. Things that were out of your control in the past can now be presented as data.

What is UWB RTLS? 

  • UWB-based RTLS enables precise tracking of assets within a physical space.
  • Tracked assets are equipped with small UWB devices called tags.
  • These tags emit UWB radio signals, allowing accurate location tracking.
  • The infrastructure includes strategically placed anchors throughout the facility.
 

Benefits of UWB RTLS in Healthcare:

 

  • Accurate Asset Location: UWB RTLS accurately locates medical equipment in real time.
  • Status Monitoring: It tracks whether assets are idle or in use.
  • Zone Alerts: Receive alerts when assets enter or leave restricted zones.

Efficiency and Cost Reduction:

 

  • By minimizing manual tracking and human errors, UWB RTLS enhances equipment management.
  • It ensures that medical assets are where they need to be, improving patient outcomes.
  • Historical data on asset movement informs resource management and decision-making.
