    Hospital Wayfinding FAQs

    Bluetooth®-enabled navigation helps visitors, patients, and staff reach their destination without getting lost, no matter how complex the facility.

    • How does Bluetooth® Low Energy-based positioning differ from traditional GPS in indoor environments?

      The accuracy of our Bluetooth® Low Energy-based positioning system is much more precise compared to GPS and can locate the user’s position on various floor levels and seamlessly transition between them.

    • Can the solution be used in multi-story buildings for vertical positioning?

      Yes, our solution can provide vertical positioning information in multi-story buildings. By utilizing multiple access points strategically placed on different floors, the solution can accurately determine the user’s position along both horizontal and vertical axes.

    • How can users access the solution?

      The application is available as a desktop web application for pre-planning and can be accessed via its own URL or embedded into another website. Our mobile apps are available as stand-alone branded apps on the App Store and the Play Store or as SDKs that can be embedded within another application. The kiosk version is also a web app that can be accessed via a URL (pre-loaded onto a kiosk hardware station in the facility).

    • Can the solution route from off-campus to an appointment inside the hospital?

      Yes, our solution is end-to-end, meaning it can detect a user’s current location off-campus, navigate them to the appropriate parking location, and then navigate them across campus, inside and to their appointment location. While utilizing multiple technologies, including GPS and Bluetooth® Low Energy to power the solution, the end user will experience a seamless transition along their journey from driving or taking public transportation to walking inside the facility.

    • What other RTLS solutions can be enabled through the same infrastructure as wayfinding?

      HID’s suite of RTLS offerings includes infant security, staff safety, wander management and asset management. Please get in touch with your HID rep for info on how wayfinding can be enabled with other existing HID RTLS solutions.
