Know where your equipment, staff, and patients are, in real time. Cancard's RTLS technology gives hospitals and healthcare facilities accurate indoor positioning so teams spend less time searching and more time delivering care.
A real-time location system (RTLS) uses small tags, room-level sensors, and software to show the live location of people and assets inside a building, where GPS doesn't work. In hospitals, that means infusion pumps, wheelchairs, and mobile carts are found in seconds, staff can summon help faster, and patient flow is easier to manage.
Cancard supplies and supports RTLS hardware built on the Sonitor Sense™ platform, which combines High Definition Ultrasound™ with Wi-Fi and low-frequency RF for reliable room-level accuracy.
Stop losing time and money to missing equipment. RTLS tags on pumps, monitors, beds, and carts show their exact room and status, which reduces search time, cuts rental and replacement spend, and supports preventive maintenance and recalls.
Wearable badges such as the SmartBadge™ link staff location with nurse call and duress alerts, so the closest available caregiver can respond quickly.
See where patients are in the care journey, spot bottlenecks in ED, surgery, and imaging, and shorten waits.
Trace contacts between staff, patients, and equipment to support infection prevention and outbreak investigation.
Open integration lets location data feed your EHR, nurse call, and asset management systems.
RTLS (real-time location system) is technology that tracks the live location of equipment, staff, and patients inside a facility using tags, sensors, and software. It is used to find equipment faster, improve workflows, and support patient safety.
Passive RFID records a tag only when it passes a reader, such as a doorway. RTLS tracks tags continuously, so you see where an item is now, not where it was last scanned.
Ultrasound does not pass through walls, so it can pinpoint which room a tag is in. This is why it is often chosen for room-level accuracy in hospitals.
Cost depends on facility size, number of tags and sensors, and software and integration needs. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your floor plan.
Yes. The platform is built on an open integration approach.
Timelines depend on the number of rooms and the scope of integration. Battery-powered sensors can shorten installation.
