Real-Time Patient Tracking
with Private 5G
Enable precise location tracking, emergency response, and workflow optimization for enhanced patient safety and care coordination.
Why Hospitals Prioritize Patient Tracking Now
Liability Crisis
Patient elopement incidents averaging $500K+ in liability and settlements
Aging Population
Dementia and Alzheimer cases increasing; hospitals required to manage wandering risk
Infant Abduction Risk
Media coverage of high-profile cases creating regulatory and accreditation pressure
Labor Efficiency
Nurses spend 15% of shift searching for patients in understaffed units
Workflow Optimization
Real-time location enables efficient task assignment and bed management
Care Coordination
Integrated patient flow data improves procedure scheduling and throughput
The Operational Challenge
Patient Elopement
At-risk patients (dementia, psychiatric) wander and leave facility undetected
Infant Security
Risk of infant abduction from maternity wards requires constant vigilance
Delayed Emergency Response
Staff cannot locate patients quickly during medical emergencies
Workflow Inefficiencies
Time wasted searching for patients delays procedures and transport
Limited Visibility
No real-time view of patient flow and bottlenecks across departments
Compliance Gaps
Cannot demonstrate adherence to patient safety and supervision protocols
