Seoul – June 8, 2022 –

People and Technology Co., Ltd. has announced plans to implement its IndoorPlus+ SmartCare solution, a smart asset tracking system, at Uijeongbu Eulji University Hospital using IoT-based technology.

The system leverages Cisco Meraki Access Points (AP), eliminating the need for dedicated Bluetooth scanners, resulting in significant cost savings.

Enhanced Efficiency and Cost Savings

In healthcare settings, approximately 10% of work hours are typically spent locating assets. For an 8-hour shift, this translates to nearly 30 minutes daily that could be saved by enabling real-time asset location tracking. This time-saving capability allows staff to focus on core tasks such as patient care, boosting productivity and job satisfaction.

Digitized and Automated Processes

The solution modernizes processes for borrowing and returning medical devices across departments, which were previously recorded manually. Automating repetitive tasks like asset tracking and management eliminates confusion during handovers and enhances overall operational efficiency.

Key features include:

• Real-Time Location Monitoring: Track the position of mobile equipment in real-time.
• Categorized Monitoring: Monitor assets by department, ward, and category for better resource allocation.
• Data-Driven Decision-Making: Utilize usage data to determine the most frequently used equipment, informing future purchase decisions and ensuring efficient budget distribution.

Improved Patient Care and Resource Allocation

By providing detailed data on the location and usage of medical devices, the system enables better visibility of hospital resources, ensuring timely access to equipment for patient treatment. This ultimately enhances the quality of care provided.

Smart Hospital Transformation

The deployment of this system marks a significant step in Uijeongbu Eulji University Hospital's transformation into a smart hospital powered by ICT.

Hong Sung-pyo, Co-CEO of People and Technology, commented:
"We are excited to collaborate with Uijeongbu Eulji University Hospital to implement a solution that not only optimizes operations but also contributes to improving patient care. This partnership represents our commitment to advancing smart healthcare solutions."

The IndoorPlus+ SmartCare system reflects People and Technology's ongoing dedication to delivering innovative IoT solutions that enhance efficiency and healthcare quality.
