Revolutionary RTLS Hardware Solution Provides Scalable Location Data, Seamless Interoperability, and Economical Implementation.
CenTrak has announced the launch of its Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Multi-Mode Platform, the first scalable solution of its kind in the industry. This new Real-Time Location System (RTLS) is designed to meet the varied needs of healthcare organisations, setting new standards in location data capabilities and cost-effective deployment. This announcement comes on the heels of the recent release of ConnectRT, CenTrak’s unified cloud-based software platform, further expanding its offerings suite to address the healthcare sector’s persistent challenges.
The BLE Multi-Mode Platform integrates BLE with Clinical-Grade Locating (CGL) environments, allowing a mixed RTLS infrastructure for hospitals. This offers a cost-effective balance of accuracy based on departmental needs and enables quick adoption of location-based services like staff duress and asset tracking. The redesigned RTLS badge, featuring durability, long battery life, easy maintenance, and user notifications, provides a cost-effective solution for healthcare providers. It includes an emergency button and two customizable buttons for specific workflows.
Key innovations for Staff Duress include:
- Purpose-built staff badge design with the latest BLE technology
- Real-time acknowledgement from the device when a duress alert is received
- User-friendly interface, efficient management of events/alerts, and incident response reporting
- “Follow” feature for real-time location updates of staff in duress on a map view
- Simple system implementation and maintenance
- Centralised software configuration, automatic updates, and reduced server infrastructure through the ConnectRT platform
Crystal Ryan, Chief Commercial Officer at CenTrak, said, “The healthcare industry sees the value and ROI of location data, leading to investments in RTLS’s transformative benefits. Our BLE Multi-Mode Platform is a significant advance in RTLS technology, reaffirming our commitment to improving healthcare with top solutions and thoughtful innovation.”
DuressRT, the latest cloud-enabled SaaS solution, expands the ConnectRT software suite. It leverages the BLE Multi-Mode Platform to provide a cost-effective, rapid response to staff duress and life safety events in healthcare. Andrew Robinson, President and CEO at CenTrak, stated, “Our team is proud to deliver another milestone in our pursuit of innovation. This technology supports healthcare professionals and modernizes hospitals. With CenTrak, healthcare organisations worldwide can access a versatile, scalable, and cost-effective solution for enhancing staff safety and patient care.”
