As an important industry that can reflect the level of respect for life and humanistic care of a society, the medical and elderly care industry is also undergoing rapid changes in recent years, and the pace of technological innovation is also accelerating. In addition to continuous research and development of innovative treatment/nursing methods, it is also actively looking for innovative ways to improve the daily operation of medical and elderly care institutions. This enables staff to more efficiently and safely safeguard patients/care recipients. Indoor positioning technology mainly plays the role of the following aspects:

Medical institution navigation service, hospital floors, more consulting rooms, patients or visitors can through the indoor navigation service route navigation guidance, quickly find the corresponding consulting room or ward, save time, direct to the consulting room or ward.

Mobile nursing round management of medical staff. By wearing positioning micro-tags for medical staff, real-time management of medical staff round and other services can be realized, and the round route, round time and round times of medical staff can be automatically recorded, and the management and tracking of doctor round can also be compared with the preset task plan. In addition, the positioning system is connected with the existing system of the hospital, and based on the location information of the positioning tag worn by each patient, the system pushes the basic information of the patient, the patient's medical record, nursing medical record, and the examination report form of LIS, PACS, ECG system and other patients to the handheld terminals such as the PAD in real time, which is convenient for medical staff to check. Realize the use of handheld terminal for ward rounds to see a doctor.

Health care workers hand hygiene compliance management, despite routine disinfection in hospitals every day, but still tens of thousands of people die every day from infections occurring in health care institutions, due to poor hand hygiene caused by cross infection is one of the important reasons. To address this problem, consider deploying real-time positioning systems in hospitals to check and ensure that doctors and nurses always wash their hands before handling different patients to reduce the transfer of infection and thus avoid the possibility of secondary cross-infection of already frail patients.

Efficient use of lifesaving materials and material tracking management. For hospitals with hundreds of important assets, from beds to professional medical equipment, through real-time positioning and dynamic management of assets, the material management level is optimized, while the equipment search time is greatly reduced, especially in the chest pain center, stroke center and other scenarios, emergency rescue is a race against time. Improving operational efficiency is more important for life-saving assets such as emergency rescue vehicles, ventilators, anesthesia machines, and heartbeat machines, and real-time positioning can realize the deployment and utilization of life-saving materials more quickly and effectively.

Positioning monitoring and timely care for special populations, through mental patients, patients with emergencies, newborn babies, etc. wear positioning wristbands with clinical basic vital signs such as temperature measurement and heart rate, and display them in real time on the system platform, to realize the function of physical sign data observation, analysis and alarm over the threshold; At the same time, the patient can use the button alarm function of the positioning wristband to call autonomously. It can realize personnel statistics and electronic roll call based on real-time location; Set up electronic fences, leave or enter illegal areas without permission system automatic alarm; Collect and record the historical action track of personnel, which can be viewed and tracked at any time to realize the monitoring and care of special populations.

Newborn baby identification and anti-theft, the high similarity of newborn babies leads to the switching event, by wearing a positioning ankle with signs monitoring function (anti-dismounting) for newborn babies, real-time positioning and monitoring of signs data, to ensure the safety of infants.

Indoor positioning technology is mainly used for personnel management and rapid positioning of life-saving medical devices in hospitals. The positioning requirements are meter-level positioning, which is more suitable for external enabling of positioning labels to wear positioning labels for personnel and assemble positioning labels for medical devices. The positioning terminal requires low power consumption and is easy to carry.
