IoT Asset Tracking The Mist Learning WLAN is a single, converged cloud-based microservices platform for Wi-Fi and BLE indoor location services, eliminating the need for expensive overlay platforms and battery powered gateways for asset location and user engagement. The typical hospital today has over 20 different use cases for IoT tracking and management that can increase profitability" The combined solution provides a simple architecture for scalable IoT asset tracking and management that reduces costs, eliminates complexity, and fosters rapid adoption across organizational functions and use cases. “The typical hospital today has over 20 different use cases for IoT tracking and management that can increase profitability, patient care and overall patient experiences,” said Rom Eizenberg, Vice President of Sales at Bluvision, part of HID Global. Create Seamless Solutions “The introduction of AI-driven indoor location capabilities using standards-based BLE makes the deployment of these services scalable and cost effective, and reduces barriers to entry for many clinical scenarios previously locked out of benefiting from these state-of-the-art capabilities.” “By deploying Mist and HID Location Services together, enterprises have a proven solution to electronically touch and validate anything that moves, playing a strategic role in IoT environments,” said Bob Friday, Founder & CTO at Mist. “As we enter a new era of ubiquitous indoor location services, it is imperative that leading vendors come together to create seamless solutions for seamless and reliable BLE deployments.”

Emerson, a global technology and engineering pioneer serving industrial, commercial and consumer industries, and HID Global®, a provider of trusted identity solutions, announces a strategic collaboration to enhance monitoring capabilities that help healthcare providers ensure proper temperature for vaccines, medications and other bio-specimens. Ensuring the quality and safety of life-saving vaccines, medications and other healthcare specimens requires strict temperature monitoring and control to maintain product integrity. The solution combines Emerson’s expertise in environmental monitoring and the behind-the-scenes refrigeration network known as the cold chain with HID Global’s broad spectrum of connected health systems and Internet of Things solutions, enabled by Bluvision™ (part of HID Global). Medical-Grade temperature monitoring This collaboration is providing first-of-its-kind monitoring solutions for the healthcare industry. “Helping our customers monitor and improve safety and health is a cornerstone of our business and mission, and we’re proud to bring these solutions to the industry,” said John Rhodes, group president of cold chain for Emerson’s Commercial & Residential Solutions business. “This strategic partnership allows Emerson to extend our leading sensing and connected technologies to help healthcare providers optimize their operations and protect their life-saving treatments.” The innovative solution combines automated alerts, audit trails, condition monitoring and location services The innovative solution combines automated alerts, audit trails, condition monitoring and location services for a more advanced approach to medical-grade temperature monitoring using Internet of Things technologies. Leveraging HID’s Location and Condition monitoring network services based on Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE), the solution delivers enterprise-wide pervasive connectivity, linking active personnel badges with both temperature and vibration sensors to allow rapid and cost-effective deployments at scale. Environmental monitoring for the healthcare chain “Combining HID’s BLE network with Emerson’s environmental monitoring sensors brings together best-in-class products to help healthcare providers monitor temperature-sensitive assets as part of an IoT stack that healthcare institutions can easily integrate into existing workflows,” said Rom Eizenberg, Vice President at Bluvision, part of HID Global. “Hospitals can quickly increase patient safety, the quality of care and pharmacy workflows while enabling more advanced capabilities like the construction of Health System Digital Twins to better predict, model and extract further efficiencies.” The collective expertise of HID’s Healthcare IoT practice and Emerson’s environmental monitoring for the healthcare chain of custody provides exponential value beyond certified temperature monitors common for the industry by combining machine, human and material traceability into comprehensive solutions for a critical issue.

HID Global, a worldwide provider of trusted identity solutions, opens this week’s HIMSS with a powerful line-up of new and recently announced strategic collaborations and solutions that are fueling the healthcare IoT. Attendees will learn how the HID Location Services IoT platform is improving clinical workflows and operational compliance; providing better collaboration and clinician safety; and delivering enhanced condition monitoring of temperature-sensitive or perishable vaccines and other bio-medical assets. Healthcare IoT solution Live demonstrations can be seen in HID Global Booth #4873 in Orlando Florida at the Orange County Convention Center from February 12 - 14, 2019. Demos showcase critical areas in which HID’s IoT location services platform, enabled by Bluvision (part of HID Global), is helping hospitals automate and scale their healthcare IoT ecosystem: Protect clinicians from workplace violence using HID’s BEEKs Duress Badge, the latest beacon addition to HID Location Services. The beacon addresses the growing need to protect doctors, nurses, and other caregivers from threatening situations that arise in the hospital environment. It also provides an instantaneous and easy way for personnel to send security staff real-time distress alerts from anywhere in or around the hospital campus. Eliminate operational bottlenecks and improve patient workflows with real-time location services for monitoring clinician and patient workflows, while also solving the challenge of locating any asset in real time. Demos include ZulaFly clinical software and analytics applications integrated with HID Location Services that illustrate these use cases, as well as staff safety and environmental monitoring applications in a connected healthcare environment. Improve environmental monitoring of medication and vaccines via Emerson’s integration of HID’s BLE sensors into its environmental monitoring system for condition monitoring, automated alerts, audit trails and location services. The advanced medical-grade temperature monitoring demos highlight these features and analytics reporting through the HID’s IoT platform.   Enhance the way finding and visitor experience inside the hospital, across campus and even in parking lots with HID’s healthcare IoT solution-enablement platform that simplifies delivering real-time location services, and Phunware’s Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform for enterprise-level mobile way finding, engagement and data. Demo includes mobile indoor navigation around the HID booth using both HID’s battery and AC powered BLE beacons. Automate hand hygiene monitoring for better compliance with HID Location Services, combined with the data generation capability of partner technology, that enhances the existing base sanitizer dispensers in hospitals. The demo features smart dispensers from an HID partner with HID Global’s BLE module that reads, detects and audits the dispensing of sanitizer with clinician badge. Self-learning wireless networks In addition, HID Global and Mist Systems, a pioneer in self-learning wireless networks powered by artificial intelligence (AI), announced at HIMSS that the two companies are working together to converge Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based location services with Wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure for better deployment, management, and operations of IoT devices. The combined solution provides a simple architecture for scalable IoT asset tracking and management that reduces costs, eliminates complexity, and fosters rapid adoption across organizational functions and use cases.
