Sonitor, a global indoor positioning innovator and leader in ultrasound-based positioning technologies and Ascom, the leading global healthcare information and communication technology (ICT) provider, are proud to announce the integration of Sonitor Sense™, Sonitor’s Real Time Location System (RTLS) with Ascom’s Unite Connect for RTLS, creating a robust new solution set to significantly impact clinical workflow improvements.
Sonitor Sense™ provides actionable location and event-based data allowing facilities to better manage and optimize workflow. Ascom’s Unite Connect for RTLS delivers a robust alert management rules engine to enable automated response and escalation. Combined, the solutions can significantly improve caregiver efficiency, accelerate response time, enhance staff safety and enable real time reporting of clinical presence and care delivery. The integrated solution is configurable to support a variety of RTLS applications including staff duress, asset management and nurse call presence for Ascom’s Telligence nurse call system. Significant benefits include accelerated and improved communication of events in real time related to location of staff and/or assets, enhanced staff safety through the ability to trigger events directly from the Sonitor SmartBadgeTM, increased awareness of critical events and related precise location information, improved response time through ultrasound-based RTLS event messaging as well as enhanced reporting of critical presence and care delivery data.
"We are very pleased to partner with Ascom to bring the gold standard in indoor positioning and ICT innovation to health care delivery,” said Anne Bugge, President and CEO of Sonitor Technologies, Inc. “Together, Ascom Unite and Sonitor SenseTM create a comprehensive technology platform enabling patients, caregivers and staff to receive the most accurate, reliable and meaningful indoor positioning data available on the market which is delivered instantly to a variety of mobile and medical devices for immediate actions,” Bugge concluded.
“A key philosophy behind the Ascom healthcare platform is that technology, and the clinician’s interaction with it, should exist in the background with patients at the center of care,” said Tim Whelehan, President of Ascom North America. “Technology partnerships with innovators like Sonitor are critical to our success delivering on this promise. The integration of Ascom’s Unite Connect software with Sonitor’s RTLS solution can now seamlessly deliver key location information for assets, staff and patients directly to caregiver mobile devices, removing bottlenecks and getting providers the right information at the right time.”
