A location system can be used to identify locations of assets in a clinical environment. An example location system receives, from a primary receiver, timing data indicating times at which multiple receivers including the primary receiver received a wireless signal from a tag. The multiple receivers may be located in the clinical environment. The example location system further identifies that the timing data includes a flag indicating that a user of the tag has requested assistance, identifies an identifier of the tag based on the timing data; and transmits, to a reporting system, a first message indicating an identifier of the tag and that the user of the tag has requested assistance.

Modular location engine for tracking the locations of assets in a clinical environment

Patient care equipment includes a wireless coupler that transfers power and/or data between an architectural unit and the patient care equipment. The patient care equipment may also include additional wireless couplers that transfer power and/or data between first and second components of the equipment. The second component may be movable relative to the first component. A structure or hot swapping batteries is also disclosed, the swapped battery being charged on an inductive charging mat.

A system identifies a first position of a tag in a clinical environment based on first times at which first receivers received a first wireless signal from the tag. The system estimates a second position of the tag in the clinical environment based on second times at which second receivers received a second wireless signal from the tag. The system determines that a boundary is located between the first position and the second position, defines a path range around the first position of the tag based on an expected movement of the tag during a time interval between the first and second wireless signals, determines that the boundary lacks a door within the path range, adjusts the second position of the tag based on the boundary map, and transmits a message indicating that the tag is located at the adjusted position at the second time.

Intelligent location estimation for assets in clinical environments

According to the present disclosure, a hygiene compliance system includes a handwash sensor, a badge, an occupant sensor, and a remote computer. The sensors and the badge may communicate with the remote computer to provide information regarding hygiene events. The hygiene compliance system determines whether the hygiene events comply with a hygiene operations scheme.
