Real-Time Location Systems and Comprehensive Healthcare Monitoring Managed from a Single, Affordable Communicating Hub
GREENFIELD, Indiana and IRVING, Texas — Locating your misplaced, essential medical equipment and monitoring your frozen assets from anywhere is easier and more affordable today thanks to a new partnership between two of the leading healthcare technology companies.
Sonicu and TrueSpot Health are collaborating to help facility managers and hospital leaders leverage simple wireless technology to locate missing assets and monitor temperature-sensitive assets and sensitive environmental conditions.
The two leading technology providers are excited to announce a strategic partnership that represents an opportunity for healthcare facility leaders to leverage technology to simplify the benefits of Real-Time Location Systems and temperature monitoring without the stress of IT security and costly installation and maintenance.
This joint venture combines Sonicu’s comprehensive monitoring with TrueSpot Health’s state-of-the-art RTLS and asset tracking capabilities, all integrated through a shared network designed around ease of use and affordability.
The LoRaWAN network - which features long-range, low-power consumption communications between a central Ethernet hub and hundreds of remote sensors deployed across long distances - is today trusted by scores of customers for each organization.
“We’re excited to partner with TrueSpot, as we know from experience how healthcare customers value our ability to deploy LoRaWAN technology to avoid the challenges normally associated with accessing healthcare IT systems,” said Joe Mundell, Chief Revenue Officer, Sonicu.
“And we know facility managers want to avoid too many hubs in their closets talking to different monitoring systems across their facilities. This blended solution allows a facility to deploy a single hub that can communicate with up to 500 sensors across a vast area.”
Innovation Through Collaboration: Share LoRaWAN Capability
Renowned for their technological expertise and holding numerous patents, both Sonicu and TrueSpot Health exemplify a steadfast dedication to innovation.
TrueSpot’s MedSpot 360 introduces the market’s most cost-effective RTLS solution, making the technology accessible to a broader range of healthcare providers, including hospitals, surgery centers, and various medical facilities previously constrained by cost.
Some of its benefits include:
- Less time spent searching for equipment
- Reduced loss from theft or misplaced equipment
- By operating at a less congested frequency than standard WiFi bands, hospital operations can incorporate RTLS without the fear of disrupting medical equipment via LoRaWAN
- Every corner of a facility, including outdoors, can be covered without compromising the integrity of critical monitoring equipment.
- LoRa’s efficient signal propagation means that fewer access points are needed, reducing the complexity and cost of network infrastructure and maintenance.
- The technology’s low power consumption translates into extended device battery life and lower energy costs.
- By accurately tracking equipment in real-time, RTLS ensures that assets are readily available when needed, reducing patient wait times and increasing the number of people treated
Sonicu’s environmental monitoring system logs storage conditions for sensitive equipment and medications, enhancing patient safety and ensuring compliance. Powered by its central LoRaWAN hub, Sonicu offers a full range of regulatory monitoring as well as facility monitoring solutions like water leak detection and door close monitoring.
