Healthcare mobile computers
Keep track of medical equipment and manage inventory
Our healthcare asset tracking solutions are already successfully implemented at scale in the NHS. Misplaced medical equipment poses a serious challenge to NHS funding across the UK, but with efficient and easy-to-use hospital equipment tracking in place you can work to prevent losses and manage your inventory more effectively.
Feedback from existing NHS Trust partners highlights the following benefits of our healthcare asset tracking software and technology:
- Improved patient safety and experience through better visibility of important assets.
- Enterprise-wide visibility of mobile assets and supplies including key medical equipment, sterile services, PPE, and more.
- Valuable strategic insights through real-time dashboard reporting, powered by healthcare automation software.
- Additional clinical time freed up for patient care, with fewer hours spent manually managing equipment and inventory.
- Higher utilisation rates of existing equipment, alongside reduced expenditure on purchasing extra inventory.
- Enhanced management of maintenance and work orders, including planned preventative maintenance, repairs, recalls, and more.
- Seamless integration into existing eMAR, EDIS, ORIS, ADT, nurse call and capacity management systems.

Healthcare asset tracking with state-of-the-art technology
Establishing an efficient healthcare asset tracking system helps to unlock increased efficiencies, maximise patient experience, and minimise asset and supply costs. Real-time location systems (RTLS) using radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology ensures rapid locating of key equipment with easy-to-use healthcare mobile computers and RFID devices. Interactive dashboard insights provide clinicians and staff real-time visibility into the location and status of assets and supplies to improve patient safety and experience.
The use of RTLS for hospital equipment tracking is a cost-effective way to deliver the following benefits:
- Using mobile computers with RFID technology and GS1-compliant labels, staff can search for required assets and supplies quickly and efficiently to ensure the most effective patient care
- Using an RTLS system, key stakeholders hospitals have enterprise-wide visibility of medical devices, accurate down to department, room and bay level with interactive asset maps
- Prevent asset theft and loss and reduce asset hoarding by optimising par levels with interactive, role-based dashboards
- Gain a real-time status of your sterile services
- Reduce loan kit dependency through optimised asset visibility
- Streamline asset maintenance with purpose-built workflows and dashboards to simplify recall compliance and preventative maintenance.
