NHS Highland’s Caithness General Hospital is trialling IoT technology to monitor medical beds.<\/p>\n
Ensuring patients are comfortable is essential, so it’s important that medical beds have regular maintenance\u00a0checks so they’re fit-for-purpose.<\/p>\n
This has led the hospital\u00a0in Scotland, Wick, to trial IoT sensors which automate bed maintenance; monitors the beds as they move around the building, as well as the medical state of beds to improve maintenance\u00a0data.<\/p>\n
Beringar and the Scottish Innovation Center for Sensor and Imaging Systems developed the sensors which are being trialled by using\u00a0Bluetooth-compatible tags that transfer real-time data from the beds via a low-power, wide area network.<\/p>\n
The data which includes records of the location and maintenance of the 69 hospital beds will also be accessed through a central dashboard.<\/p>\n
