People&Technology (PNT), a specialist provider of AI/DX-based smart hospital service platforms, announced that through a strategic partnership with Dong-A ST, it has deployed a real-time patient monitoring solution at Jeonju Hospital (Hospital Director Hyung-jin Tae) in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province. This large-scale implementation spans six wards in total — Wards 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 — marking a major step toward hospital-wide smart hospital infrastructure.
Jeonju Hospital serves as a regional hub hospital meeting the healthcare needs of residents across North Jeolla Province. Through this deployment, the hospital has upgraded its inpatient safety management system and laid the groundwork for improved medical staff efficiency.
The deployed solution consists of the patch-type wearable ECG device "HiCardi," the portable pulse oximeter "Nonin," and an electronic nameplate that doubles as both a bedside information display and an IoMT gateway. When patients wear HiCardi and Nonin, key vital sign data — including ECG, heart rate, and oxygen saturation — is collected in real time. The BLE module built into the electronic nameplate installed in each patient room acts as the gateway, transmitting this data to People&Technology's smart hospital platform, "IndoorPlus+ SmartCare," for integrated management.
In addition to its gateway function, the electronic nameplate also links with the Hospital Information System (HIS) to automatically update patient admission and discharge information. This shifts bed status management — previously handled manually — into a fully digital system, reducing the administrative burden on nursing staff while enabling real-time visibility into bed occupancy. Because the existing electronic nameplate infrastructure is used as-is, without the need for additional BLE scanner installations, the deployment achieves both simplified installation and stronger system integration.
With this implementation, Jeonju Hospital can now track patients' vital sign data in real time, 24 hours a day, across all six wards. Medical staff receive immediate alerts whenever abnormal signs occur, enabling a rapid response.
