THE PROBLEM

Nurses spend an hour per shift looking for equipment.

An infusion pump hidden in a hallway, a wheelchair with no known location, a borrowed ventilator that vanished. Every minute spent searching for equipment is a minute less with the patient.

01
45–90 min
per shift
is the average time nurses and technicians lose looking for equipment in hospitals without RTLS, per NEJM 2023 study.
02
USD 4,000
per bed per year
is the estimated cost of operational inefficiency caused by asset searching in North American hospitals (JHIM, 2022).
03
28%
of stock overload
is the average excess equipment purchased by hospitals to offset the lack of visibility into assets they already own.

In the ICU, every minute counts. When the ventilator we need is 'missing' for 20 minutes, it is not a logistics problem, it is a real clinical risk.

Tag → gateway → live map, in under 3 seconds.

Lightweight, durable BLE tags attached to any equipment. A network of ceiling receivers, no civil works. Dashboard with an interactive floor plan.

01

Tag emits a signal

8g BLE 5.x tags fixed with industrial 3M adhesive. 2-year battery, IP44, resistant to 70% alcohol and autoclave.

INTERVAL3s
02

Receiver network

Wireless receivers installed on the ceiling every 49.2 ft (15m). Communication over BLE with the tags, Wi-Fi for uplink and 3G/4G as automatic backup. No civil works, no cabling.

Search in 11s

The team searches by the name or asset number of the equipment and gets room + floor + a map with a route. Alerts if an asset leaves the authorized area.

Challenge

Nurses spent 45–90 min per shift looking for critical equipment, especially infusion pumps and ventilators. The cost in nursing hours was higher than the cost of the lost equipment.

The nursing team recovered 45 min per shift. With visibility into real usage, the hospital cancelled a planned purchase of 12 ventilators, saving R$ 1.2M.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about hospital RTLS.

Have specific questions? Our team responds within 4 business hours.

No. The receivers are wireless and fixed to the ceiling with a magnetic mount or screw. They communicate with the tags over BLE 5.x, uplink over the hospital Wi-Fi and have 3G/4G as automatic backup. Zero cabling, zero civil works.
