How does RTLS fit into the healthcare industry?

2023-12-22

What is RTLS? 

It is used to track the location of assets or people in real time within a limited area or building. The system consists of an RTLS tag attached to or carried by an asset or person that requires location information, and a device called a locator that transmits and receives signals from the tag. The location of the person or asset is known through location engine software that calculates the location coordinates. It is a technology that can be extended to various solutions such as travel history, security management and automated entry and exit management of a specific area, location-based wayfinding, and worker safety management.
