Hospital speeds response time with Ekahau
A St. Jerome, Canadian hospital is utilizing Ekahau’s real-time location system to improve patient and staff safety in emergency situations.
Working together with system integrator Bell Canada, Ekahau delivered its T301BD pager tags, which operate on the hospitals existing Wi-Fi network.
The system can pinpoint staff location within in a matter of seconds – using a dedicated button, which can be triggered in the event of an emergency, to alert staff of the situation and to show where it is happening.
And the tags are capable of supporting two-way communications, enabling staff to send and receive text messages.
