Ultrasound Tag Tracking System
The PC-Detector from Sonitor Technologies uses ultrasound indoor positioning and realtime location systems (RTLS) technology to automatically track the realtime location of patients and moveable hospital equipment. The RTLS solution makes the Sonitor ultrasound tag signal detectable by computers not already equipped with the hardware and sound processing capabilities that are required to pinpoint indoor positioning system tags. By leveraging existing computer hardware and LAN connectivity, mobile computing systems such as tablet PCs, computer/medication carts, and other point-of-care devices can track the tags with reliable 100 percent room-level and bed-level location accuracy.
