Hybrid BLE/IR Sensory Network

Stop over-spending on point solutions. Start strategizing with smarter RTLS.

Jump to Product Details

Health systems make technology decisions every day—staff duress, asset tracking, workflow automation. Each choice solves something real. But without an overarching strategy, progress becomes a patchwork of disconnected systems and duplicate investments.

RTLS Simplified

With a wholistic strategy for location-based solutions, everything changes. Silos fall away. A path to facility-wide visibility opens.

The right RTLS partner makes that strategy real—with hybrid technology that supports multiple use cases on a single, scalable platform.

Expand Coverage, Not Complexity

Intelligently blend scalable, cost-effective Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) technology for near-room coverage, with precise, room-certain infrared (IR)—where (and when) it’s needed.

This hybrid RTLS strategy delivers a powerful combination to create a future-ready foundation that can scale with operational and clinical needs—all with lower infrastructure investment and minimal disruption.

Start Smart + Scale Seamlessly

Don’t let today’s needs dictate tomorrow’s progress toward workflow efficiency. Choose an RTLS solution that provides the capabilities you need now while being adaptable to future goals.

Quickly implement staff duress and asset tracking with BLE, then add IR for precision-driven automation as your needs grow.

A Smarter Path to Facility-Wide RTLS

For Midmark RTLS customers with nurse call automation, maximize the infrastructure you already have as the foundation for a broader strategy. Layer on BLE technology to extend visibility for facility-wide RTLS solutions.

Hybrid BLE/IR Sensory Network

Built to Meet You Where You Are

With Hybrid RTLS, facilities can either layer BLE onto existing Midmark RTLS IR infrastructure to quickly expand coverage, or start with BLE as a fast, cost-effective entry point.

Benefits of Hybrid Locating:

Fast, flexible deployment using existing BLE-capable access points (APs) or Midmark RTLS Plug-In BLE Sensors
Minimal disruption with rapid installation and integration
Expand existing systems or launch from the ground up
Scalable architecture that grows with operational needs
Lower cost of entry with a flexible path to precision
Future-ready platform designed to evolve with new use cases

Near-Room Accuracy

BLE provides estimated location data with near-room accuracy, enabling quick visibility campus-wide for solutions like asset tracking and staff duress.
SMARTER RTLS STARTS WITH EXISTING SYSTEMS
Healthcare systems with BLE-capable access points (APs) can rapidly deploy scalable real-time locating solutions. Leveraging current infrastructure minimizes installation cost and complexity while delivering near-room location accuracy for staff, patients and equipment. Take a hybrid approach with Wireless IR Sensors that operate seamlessly with BLE APs to easily add room-certain precision for clinical workflow automation. Or, pair your APs with the low-maintenance Wired IR solution.

Room-Certain Precision

IR technology is the gold standard for room-level or better precision, enabling high-value clinical automation solutions.
WIRELESS IR
Wireless IR Sensors receive infrared signals from IR badges and tags to create locations as small as a 4-foot radius, allowing precision down to chair level. They are battery operated, easy to install and roughly the size of a smoke detector. Wireless IR Sensors use BLE-capable APs or Plug-In BLE Sensors to communicate location data to CareFlow RTLS.
WIRED IR
Our seventh generation wired infrastructure provides the highest level of precision needed to drive workflow automation, using small, discreet ceiling-mounted IR sensors. Once installed, little to no maintenance is required, offering a low total cost of ownership.
