RTLS Leader Sonitor® Technologies Announces Launch of Patient Wandering and Access Monitoring Technology

Sonitor Technologies Inc., a global leader in indoor positioning technologies, today announced a new addition to its RTLS portfolio for its industry-leading Sonitor Sense RTLS open integration platform. SenseAlert provides a discrete and flexible solution designed to assist facilities with potentially dangerous situations like patient wandering and unauthorized access to sensitive areas.

SenseAlert (http://sonitor.com/application-safety.html) is powered by the state-of-the-art, power-efficient SenseAlert QuadLT+. With both ultrasound and LF, this system delivers 'on-demand' zone coverage and accurate, reliable chokepoints at exits and entrances. The QuadLT+ is designed with optional vandal-proof covers to meet international and IK10 standards for ruggedness and impact and will allow for more direct transmission of the ultrasound signal helping extend the battery life of the devices by reducing signal attenuation. When coupled with Sonitor's SenseAlert SmartTag and SenseAlert tamer-resistant band, this real-time indoor positioning system can help locate individuals who have wandered or individuals entering unauthorized areas by immediately and accurately pinpointing their exact location. This provides customers the confidence they need to discretely protect sensitive areas and keep patients safe without compromising freedom of movement.

SenseAlert is an integral part of the Sonitor Sense™ RTLS System, a proprietary, high definition, open integration RTLS platform powered by SmartZoning™ technology, with Wi-Fi and LF to deliver a completely scalable solution that supports an expanding range of applications. Sonitor SmartTags are embedded with the logic to know their location and to communicate instantaneously over the Wi-Fi network when their position changes. Not only does this provide real-time update rates, it enables industry-leading battery life for low maintenance and cost.

"SenseAlert responds to an increasing demand in the marketplace for a technology that delivers a practical solution to common safety concerns," said Anne Bugge, President and CEO of Sonitor Technologies. "The SenseAlert technology underscores Sonitor's commitment to improving the safety of patients, staff and the facility as a whole."
