Technology Innovation

Awarepoint is also announcing the general availability of its new Bed and Bay Sensor. The device uses technology pioneered by Awarepoint to precisely track mobile equipment and patient and caregiver interactions in locations with tight-bed spacing, such as the emergency department, and pre- and post-anesthesia care. The new sensor detects discrete interactions between caregivers, patients and equipment -- such precision is important in interpreting activities and anticipating roadblocks in the patient's care plan, while supporting proactive communication to drive action.
