Administrators are able to define areas that are closed off due to maintenance. The software uses real-time data to direct users to their intended location while avoiding the out of bounds areas.

How does it work? 

Location tracking

Real-time navigation

The technology uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi to pinpoint a person's location. By providing real-time navigation to patients who may not be familiar with the building reduces the number of patient no-shows or late arrivals which wastes clinicians’ time and can have a significant financial impact on the hospital.  

Navigation

Tailored navigation

For people who require an accessible route, the software is able to provide a personalized navigation service, for example, suggesting stair-free routes to wheelchair users. In addition, the technology can be used by new staff or locums who are not familiar with the building to find their way around a hospital.
