Digital wayfinding providing a way for the general hospital population to get to the right place without inadvertently coming into contact with potentially infectious patients. Digital wayfinding, indoor GPS for hospitals, is designed to help patients, visitors and staff navigate their way around a hospital campus with ease and reliability. Similar to GPS, which positions users with a blue dot that follows their journey on a map of the outside world, wayfinding recreates this experience indoors, through true turn-by-turn mobile navigation, audio prompts, off-route notification and much more. The outcome is an improved patient experience and efficiencies for both patients and staff, including a reduction in missed or late appointments– a problem that costs a typical hospital 10M annually.

This new IoT capability helps health systems understand and improve the flow of patients and visitors as well as the patient experience at the hospital. Enabling real-time indoor location and navigation is also a key strategy for health systems as they seek to implement a resilience strategy, which includes patients, visitors, staff, as well as digital and physical assets.
