Real‑Time Visibility for Patients, Staff & Critical Assets
Our iBeacon‑driven platform turns your hospital or facility into a live, location‑aware environment.
See where patients, staff and equipment are right now, reduce search time, and improve safety.
Why Facilities Love This Solution
Instant Location Insight
Know where every beacon‑equipped patient, staff member or device is at a glance. No more hunting for beds, pumps or wheelchairs.
Higher Staff Efficiency
Nurses and porters spend less time searching and more time with patients. Staff can locate colleagues and equipment in seconds.
Better Patient Safety
See who has not moved for too long, who has gone out of bounds, and which critical devices are not where they should be.
What the System Delivers
Live Tracking
- Current location of each patient, staff member, and asset in near real‑time.
- Last‑seen views with gateway/ward/floor context.
- Device “offline” alerts when a beacon has not been seen for a defined period.
Movement History
- Timeline of where a beacon has been throughout the day or shift.
- “From → To” gateway moves, including how long each stay lasted.
- Evidence for audits, quality improvement and incident reviews.
Smart Searches
- Search by patient name, staff name, ID or asset description.
- Filter by ward, floor, room or equipment type.
- See who is currently in a specific area (e.g. ICU, triage, theatre).
Powerful Reporting
- Dashboards built with PHPMaker on top of MySQL.
- Occupancy and workload per ward or gateway.
- Time‑spent analytics: how long patients or assets stayed in each location.
How It Works
Lightweight Bluetooth iBeacons identify people and assets. ESP32 gateways hear the signals, estimate proximity, and send secure updates to a PHP/MySQL backend. Your team uses a browser‑based interface to find, filter and analyse everything in real‑time.
Attach a small iBeacon to each patient wristband, staff lanyard, or high‑value device. Each beacon has a unique ID.
ESP32 gateways placed around your facility continuously listen for beacons and measure signal strength (RSSI).
The platform stores every sighting in MySQL and exposes live dashboards and search screens tailored to your workflows.
Designed for Healthcare & High‑Value Facilities
- Hospitals & Clinics: Track patients, nurses, doctors, and mobile equipment across wards and floors.
- Care Homes: Non‑intrusive visibility of residents and staff, with simple “last seen” views.
- Labs & Industry: Follow critical instruments, tools and portable devices wherever they move.
Key Capabilities
End‑User Features
- Search “Where is John Smith?” or “Show all infusion pumps in Ward A”.
- See who is currently in a ward or room (patients, staff, and assets).
- Highlight beacons that have not moved for a defined period.
- Export reports for management and quality teams.
Technical Foundations
- Standards‑based iBeacon format for broad device compatibility.

Next Steps
Whether you want to start with a single ward pilot or roll out across multiple sites, the solution is modular and can grow with you. We can tailor categories (patients, staff, assets), naming, and dashboards to your environment.
