Spot from InnerWireless allows healthcare organizations to significantly improve patient safety and hospital productivity by accurately locating and optimizing the use of valuable medical equipment and other healthcare assets.

Spot can be rapidly deployed by hospitals because virtually no data or power cables are pulled when installing the system, making installation simple, fast and scalable, and minimizing infection control issues for hospitals.

Both tags and RF infrastructure are optimized using the 802.15.4 wireless communications standard, thus avoiding the IP address proliferation that piggybacking on hospitals' existing 802.11 wireless data networks would cause. In fact, other systems propose tracking thousands of tags through hospitals' 802.11 networks, which would unnecessarily overburden a network that already shoulders a heavy load for hospitals. In fact, Spot's open 802.15.4 standard has no impact on 802.11 networks. It provides a reliable, easy to deploy and high-assurance location solution that today's hospitals want and need.

Among Spot’s many benefits:

• Room-level accuracy
• Eliminate delays in patient care
• Increase staff productivity
• No impact on 802.11 network
• Improve asset utilization
• Reduce shrinkage
• Designed specifically for hospital needs
• Easy acquisition – low cost, scalable
• Easy installation

How does it work?

• Tags measure signal from Beacons
• Tags send signal data to Spot Engine via Master Radio
• Spot Engine calculates Tag location
• Location is available to staff via Spot User Interface
• Location is available to applications via Spot API
