Ekahau and Emergin to Demonstrate Location-Based 'Triggers' to Alert Hospital Staff Over WLANs PDF Print E-mail
Written by Ekahau   
Friday, 10 February 2006

HIMSS 2006 Annual Conference Booth #1504

 


WHO:        Ekahau Inc. -- the industry leader in providing
            Wi-Fi-based real-time location solutions (RTLS)

            Emergin -- the plug-and-play integration company that has
            integrated over 200 disparate technologies to enable
            better collaboration and provide improved communications
            for healthcare enterprises

WHAT:       The demonstration will show how hospital staff can receive
            context-aware alerts via their cell phone, VoIP phone,
            pager or PDA when they enter specific geographic areas.
            The system works over existing Wi-Fi networks.

SO WHAT?:   Doctors can be notified to rush to the operating room when
            others on his or her team have entered the operating room
            to begin prepping a patient for surgery, for example. Or,
            nurses can be notified when doctors are on their floor and
            available to see patients.

            These proactive notifications save valuable time tracking
            down specific persons or specific equipment and improve
            the overall quality of patient care by giving hospital
            staff the information they need right at their fingertips,
            when they need it.

            Located By Ekahau: This collaboration with Emergin is just
            one in a series of similar agreements that Ekahau has
            entering into as part of its Located by Ekahau initiative.
            Located by Ekahau is a program in which Ekahau is building
            out a vast infrastructure of location-aware devices by
            partnering with manufacturers to incorporate Ekahau's
            industry-leading Wi-Fi-enabled RTLS solutions in new and
            existing products such as Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi)
            handsets, Wi-Fi adapters, laptop computers, PDAs, barcode
            and RFID scanners, medical equipment and other special
            purpose tools. This infrastructure allows end users, such
            as hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities, to
            quickly 'turn on' location-tracking capabilities using
            existing Wi-Fi networks and without the need to purchase
            specialized tags.

WHERE:      HIMSS 2006 Annual Conference & Exhibition
            Ekahau Booth #1504
            San Diego Convention Center
            San Diego, CA

WHEN:       February 12-16, 2006
