Our
Solution
Assistplus, our IoT based location and live analytics solution was deployed to track and monitor doctors, nurses, patients in addition to the medical equipment in the hospital. Bluetooth low energy (BLE) smart ID cards were provided to all the staff and patients and BLE smart tags were attached to all medical equipment. Smart Sensors (called CloudSense) were installed at specific locations at the hospital. BLE signals transmitted from these Smart ID cards and Tags were captured by CloudSense devices and sent to the assistplus cloud in real-time. Our solution helped automate patients’ test procedures, obtain real-time analytics like path travelled, last seen location and much more.
Leveraging assistplus, our client achieved a 30% increase in revenue and most importantly, eliminated long patient queues and extra lead-time taken to locate equipment within the hospital premises.
