Abstract :
In modern hospitals, opposing forces between cutting costs and demands on service quality, growing workloads versus staff reductions, stimulate the need for systems that automatically support procedures in the background. Intelligent real-time positioning solutions can partially fill the gap. The ProAct® application platform addresses the common needs of indoor geolocation applications in healthcare. It enables the rapid development of rule-driven, location-based solutions for different problem domains. It is designed for multiple healthcare application areas including patient and staff security, asset management, clinical process analysis and context-sensitive information provision and guidance.
