Location-Based Healthcare Solutions with HID and Aruba

 Tim Vanevenhoven, September 14, 2021:

HID Global, an ASSA ABLOY company, redefines the IoT experience in healthcare by enabling real-time visibility of clinicians, patients, devices, and electronic visit verification.

The joint solution uses Aruba Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 APs to listen for and report Bluetooth data from HID’s purpose built asset tags in multiple form factors including wearables and badges.

Healthcare facilities are often a complex labyrinth of departments, wings, rooms, restricted access areas and specialized units. A degree of complexity comes with the mobile assets critical to patient care and key to the clinical and operational workflows. Examples include beds, infusion pumps, respirators, monitors, WOWs (workstations on wheels), defibrillators, and maintenance carts.

To overcome the challenges of quickly locating mobile healthcare equipment HID Global, an ASSA ABLOY company, offers an IoT platform which can solve traditional real-time location services (RTLS) challenges, as a single
extensible system to transform the healthcare facility experience for staff, patients, and visitors.
