Time Domain Delivers UWB Real-Time Location Solution at Nesconset Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Time Domain announced that it is introducing its TracPoint system,
which uses ultra wideband (UWB) real-time location system (RTLS)
technology from Time Domain to monitor residents, staff and medical
equipment, improving facility operations and security at the
240-resident Nesconset Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in
Nesconset, New York.

The TracPoint solution, which combines Time Domain's Plus 2.0 UWB RTLS
technology and software designed and manufactured by Sysgen, is used to
monitor the location and status of Nesconset Alzheimer's patients,
staff and the facility's equipment, including customized wheelchairs,
beds and computers.

The Time Domain's UWB RTLS technology enables the Center to locate
residents, staff and equipment within two feet of their location in
real-time, eliminating the "false alarms" of the previous system. Staff
can also create individualized safety profiles and care plans by
observing patients' location and analyzing behavioral patterns, the
company said.

Additionally, the Center can assign rules to each individual UWB tag


worn by a resident. For example, Resident A cannot walk through Doorway
B. If Resident A does walk through Doorway B, the messaging system
alerts the proper staff members, notifying them of the violation and
allowing staff members to respond immediately based on the urgency of
the alert. With the old system, alerts were only in the form of a loud
alarm; however, alerts are now broadcast to staff via email, text
messages, cell phone calls, pagers and monitors at the nurses' station,
the groups noted in a release.
