Health monitoring devices are growing and evolving rapidly. Today, application and software developers are creating new innovative healthcare systems for the well-being of patients and better efficacy for healthcare actors.

With the current situation of Covid-19, tracking tools are being implemented to follow the evolution of the pandemic or the number of people vaccinated worldwide.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities are required to provide their patients with accurate diagnoses and personalized care. Tracking is an analysis and observation tool that can help meet the changing needs of the healthcare sector.

Tracking system for patients and healthcare actors

Tracking initially ensures interoperability between the various actors within the healthcare chain (doctors, nurses, surgeons, etc.). A visitor management system allows physicians to easily exchange information, which improves communications and interactions between physicians and patients and simplifies the workflow. This tool significantly improves the accuracy of medical diagnosis.

Tracking helps improve patient safety and healthcare outcomes. It ensures records-keeping and patient follow-up and reinforces the verification of drug dosage.

Tracking reinforces the control of patient flow. It helps locate patients within hospitals as well the “missing patients”. Healthcare professionals can also anticipate and reduce patient wait times through patient flow analysis.

Healthcare actors can improve their performance and provide better care and services to patients. Tracking systems are an effective way to improve patient satisfaction and engagement.

Pixels Health offers applications that can be connected to Apple Health and Google Fit. The user’s health information is stored on his device and shared with the health application.

Asset tracking

Hospitals are frequently overloaded with patients, understaffed or under-equipped, which may affect their financial stability. According to a study, 10-20% of hospital inventory is misplaced or goes missing every year. Staff can spend valuable time searching for missing equipment. Lost and stolen equipment costs the healthcare industry millions of euros each year.

This is when tracking systems are used. They allow tracking and locating hospital equipment (beds, wheelchairs, cardiac monitors…) to provide real-time solutions. This results in improved costs and better services. Tracking also enhances inventory management and avoids unnecessary expenses.

Pixels Health has developed tracking solutions that adjust to everyone’s needs. We have developed the Pixels Beacon solution to ensure proper management of assets. Bed tracking will let you know how long the bed has been left in a specific place, or if it has been left in the operating room, etc.

Asset tracking significantly enhances the visibility of healthcare providers in their equipment and its use. It enables visualizing its location and reduces the time spent searching for it.

The new Apple AirTag

Last April, Apple announced the launch of its new device for the iPhone called AirTag. It is a Bluetooth beacon that can help you find lost items. It can be attached to key rings, bags, or other objects. AirTags use the devices connected to Apple’s network to locate missing devices. When the user cannot find an item, he can notify the AirTag to play a sound, allowing the user to locate it.

However, when the lost item is not in proximity, the user must indicate the lost mode on the application. In this case, Apple relies on the existing iPhones. When an Apple device is near a lost AirTag, it will send its position to the owner. The lost item can then be tracked using the third-party device and the vast global network created by the brand.

Many users express privacy and security concerns, and fear of being watched by Apple. There is a risk of misuse regarding tracking a person without his knowledge and the fear of certain institutions towards domestic violence and other assaults.

Pixels Health will offer you a customized and unique solution adapted to your needs. We can guide you in using your tracking tools.
