People and Technology Co., Ltd. (represented by Sungpyo Hong and Jinsun Lim) announced on the 22nd that it successfully secured a contract to implement a smart nameplate system in the trauma ward of the Armed Force Capital Hospital.

The smart nameplate system automatically displays essential patient information—such as name, gender, age, rank, military ID number, admission date, department, attending physician, surgery date, and patient number—on the assigned room and bed nameplates in real time throughout all stages of patient care, including admission, room transfer, and discharge.

This project was initiated to enhance the hospital’s digital transformation and patient safety. Previously, patient information was printed on paper and manually attached, which posed risks of information errors that could threaten patient safety. To address these issues, the hospital introduced the smart nameplate system, which integrates with the National Defense Medical Information System (NDEMIS), ensuring that patient information is updated in real time during admissions, discharges, and room transfers.

With real-time updates of patient information, the system is expected to improve patient safety and reduce the workload on medical staff. Currently, patient identification information, such as medical record numbers and names, is printed on paper labels and manually attached to beds and rooms, a process that takes 5 to 10 minutes per patient. With admissions and room transfers, hundreds of identification labels need to be produced.

A representative from People and Technology stated, “The introduction of the smart nameplate system is expected to significantly reduce paperwork and minimize the risk of safety incidents due to information errors, thereby greatly improving the hospital’s operational efficiency.”

Additionally, the smart nameplate system implemented in all rooms includes Bluetooth functionality, allowing it to serve as an IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) gateway. This feature establishes a smart IoMT infrastructure throughout the hospital without requiring additional setups.

People and Technology is actively contributing to enhancing hospital operational efficiency and providing a safer and more reliable medical environment for patients through technological integration. The IoMT smart hospital system, utilizing bed information displays with Bluetooth, was first implemented at Sinchon Severance Hospital in 2022 through a collaboration between People and Technology’s IndoorPlus+ Smart Care product and SeeEyes Co. Ltd.’s bed information display products, and it has since garnered significant interest from many hospitals.
