AeroScout Wins Innovative European Healthcare Project for Patient, Staff and Asset Tracking



    AeroScout, Inc., the leading provider of Wi-Fi-based Active RFID
    solutions, has announced an innovative pilot project with Hospital St.
    Louis, Luxembourg's largest hospital in the North to track patients,
    staff and hospital assets. The primary purpose of the installation is
    to provide greater protection to high-risk dementia patients, keeping
    them safely within the hospital grounds and in close range of nurses
    and caregivers.

    "We have a high ratio of caregivers to patients, but have always
    been aware of the need for additional measures when it comes to
    tracking patient movements around the hospital to maintain their
    safety and well-being," said Georges Wolfers, Director of ICT at
    Hospital St. Louis. "AeroScout offered the most comprehensive solution
    to our requirements with a user-friendly and scalable Wi-Fi-based
    solution, and we are excited by its potential to improve our high
    level of patient care."

    AeroScout will provide Hospital St. Louis with its
    industry-leading Wi-Fi-based Active RFID tags along with
    enterprise-level management software and advanced hardware products
    for asset and people tracking. These products utilize the Cisco
    Unified Wireless Network in place at the hospital for a single network
    that provides voice, data and location information.

    The AeroScout T2 tags, which have more than four years of battery
    life, are worn by patients or attached to hospital equipment, and emit
    a signal which is detected and accurately located by the hospital's
    Cisco Unified Wireless Network. Location and status data from these
    tags is then sent to AeroScout's MobileView software and integrated
    with interactive maps and detailed information. This will allow the
    hospital to search for and identify at-risk patients in real-time,
    over any Web browser. The AeroScout system can also trigger automated
    alerts based on movement and location, immediately sending an email,
    page or voice message to staff when a patient leaves a designated
    area. AeroScout Exciters provide precision detection at doorways,
    exits and other choke points.

    "Hospital St. Louis is pioneering a new level of patient care, and
    we're excited to work with the institution as it explores the benefits
    of Wi-Fi-based Active RFID," said Andris Berzins, Managing Director,
    EMEA at AeroScout. "We see strong demand for innovative tracking
    solutions in the European healthcare market, and this installation is
    further proof of our intent to maximize these opportunities."

    The AeroScout solution is currently utilized to track patients in
    need of heightened monitoring levels, as well as nursing staff and
    various hospital assets. Based on the success of the initial
    implementation, Hospital St. Louis is deploying tags for
    patient-critical medical equipment such as infusion pumps, wheel
    chairs, and more to improve utilization of these high-value assets.

    "Hospitals have hundreds of assets that are critical to their
    successful operation and it can take a significant amount of time to
    locate these assets when needed," said Richard Roberts, director of
    wireless business development at Cisco. "Location-based services, such
    as the system deployed by Hospital St. Louis, can help improve patient
    care and help reduce costs with a real-time view of where their
    patients and assets are located."
