RTLS for Smart Healthcare - Blueiot

Healthcare facilities operate in fast-paced, high-stakes environments where every second counts. Delayed emergency responses, long search times for medical devices, and the frequent loss or theft of high-value assets directly impact patient outcomes and operational costs. Many hospitals also struggle with inefficient workflows, over-reliance on equipment rentals, and compliance challenges related to hygiene and asset tracking.

Blueiot’s Real-Time Location System (RTLS) is designed to solve these critical problems. The solution enables real-time visibility into the location, status, and movement of patients, medical staff, and equipment. By deploying Blueiot AoA anchors throughout the hospital and attaching tags to assets and personnel, data is collected and resolved into precise positioning data. This information is displayed on an intuitive dashboard that visualizes every tracked element across the hospital in real time.

The RTLS platform does more than just locate—it adds intelligence to healthcare operations. Medical staff can receive alerts when equipment leaves designated areas, allowing for immediate theft prevention or asset reallocation. Emergency response teams can locate patients and staff instantly, accelerating care. Temperature monitoring within labs, pharmacies, and wards ensures that medicines are stored in optimal conditions, with alerts for any deviations or upcoming expirations.

The system also automates hygiene compliance monitoring. It detects handwashing events and other critical hygiene behaviors to ensure adherence to infection control standards, helping prevent hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Furthermore, patients benefit from seamless navigation support within complex healthcare facilities, reducing stress and enhancing their experience.
