key challenge
Optimizing equipment location: a priority
In a care context where efficiency and responsiveness are essential, Marie-Clarac Hospital faced challenges related to locating critical equipment, particularly wheelchairs and mobile workstations. These items, frequently moved between care units, were often lost or difficult to find quickly.
This situation caused time losses for healthcare staff, decreased productivity, and ultimately impacted the quality of care provided to patients. The need to better track and manage this equipment in real time therefore became a priority for the institution.

Provided solution
From search time to care time
To address this challenge, the RIOH team deployed the real-time tracking solution, IoTcare, within the hospital. This technology relies on:
The installation of 237 Aruba BLE tags attached to the targeted equipment.
Over 100 users able to quickly identify equipment location through an intuitive platform.
Waterproof and robust protective casings, specially designed to ensure sensor durability in a demanding hospital environment.
Thanks to this solution, Marie-Clarac Hospital improves the traceability of its assets, reduces equipment losses, and enhances operational efficiency, while supporting its mission of excellence in human-centered care.
