The easily-installed connected lighting solutions will come with cloud services and IoT sensors that track the real-time location of BLE tags carried by staff, patients, and medical devices. This connectivity will also enable input from patient-room sensors through APIs, offer room-level location as-a-service, and support mobile indoor navigation, addressing a range of care delivery digitization scenarios, including:
- Medical device management
- Staff duress and workflows
- Patient journey and experience
- Hand hygiene
- Environmental monitoring, and more.
Healthcare providers will benefit from significant cost savings by:
- Integrating IoT and real-time location services (RTLS) into lighting systems—no need to purchase standalone solutions
- Open-ended infrastructure capable of expansion as needed
- Shortening time to value of launching new digital initiatives
- Supporting wall-mounted gateways for unconnected or existing ceiling spaces
