A device pairing system is configured to determine that an auxiliary device detects an ultrasonic beacon emitted by a beacon generator and identify, in response to the determination that the auxiliary device detects the ultrasonic beacon, a medical system associated with the ultrasonic beacon. The auxiliary device is further configured to communicatively pair, in response to the identification of the medical system, the auxiliary device with the identified medical system.

Beacon-based systems and methods for communicatively pairing a device with a medical system

An application management system may provide, while a user device detects a beacon associated with a medical system, a user of the user device with access to a first set of medical session features of an application executed by the user device. The application management system may also provide, while the user device does not detect the beacon, the user with access to a second set of medical session features of the application, the second set of medical session features being different from the first set of medical session features.

Beacon-based systems and methods for managing access to application features associated with a medical session

A beacon-based metrics system may track events associated with a user device located within a medical facility, determine that the user device detects a beacon emitted by a beacon generator located within the medical facility, and identify information included in the beacon. The beacon-based metrics system may generate medical facility metrics data representative of the tracked events by identifying a set of tracked events that occur during a time period in which the user device detects the beacon and associating the information included in the beacon with the set of tracked events.
