Large hospitals often consist of multiple buildings, departments, elevators, and corridors. For patients visiting for the first time or those unfamiliar with the hospital layout, finding the correct consultation room can be frustrating and time-consuming. Missed turns, repeated direction requests, and delayed arrivals not only affect the patient experience but also increase the workload of hospital staff.

Schwierigkeiten

Imagine a patient who has just completed registration for a cardiology appointment.

The consultation room is located on the sixth floor of another building connected by several corridors and elevators. Although directional signs are available throughout the hospital, the patient may still struggle to find the correct route, especially during peak hours.

In der Zwischenzeit, information desks and nurses are frequently interrupted by visitors asking for directions. In large tertiary hospitals serving thousands of patients every day, these navigation challenges can quickly become a significant operational burden.

Improve Patient Journeys in Large Hospitals

Lösung

Indoor navigation tags help hospitals build intelligent wayfinding systems that guide patients from registration to their destination.

Leuchtfeuer devices are deployed throughout corridors, elevators, waiting areas, and department entrances. To deliver reliable indoor navigation services, hospitals can combine Leuchtfeuer infrastructure with BLE gateways and indoor positioning platforms. This enables real-time location awareness and navigation services throughout the facility.

Indoor Navigation Tags Improve Patient Journeys in Large Hospitals

This architecture provides several advantages:

  • Meter-level indoor positioning accuracy
  • Low-latency location updates
  • Stable navigation performance in complex hospital environments
  • Automatic route planning after patient registration
  • Reduced dependence on hospital staff for directions

Once a patient opens the hospital app, the system can generate the optimal route to the assigned department and provide real-time navigation guidance throughout the journey.
