Very pleased to have the opportunity to speak at the “Next steps for NHS estates” conference today to discuss innovations to improve care and efficiency and the implication for our NHS estates.
It’s an exciting time with great developments in smartbuildings, IoT, new models of care and an opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint and improve our environmental sustainability.

Having suitable estates is critical to changing our services – and our estates staff don’t always get the credit they deserve! – especially for all the work they’ve done during the pandemic!
Thanks to Westminster Forum Projects for organising

Real-time location sensing (RTLS) technologies have been rolled out in hospitals across North America, and are starting to find their way into the European and Asian health services sector. Prime among the reasons has been a desire to automate asset allocation (beds, equipment) and monitor staff and patient movements. This promises to save staff time, reduce running costs, and ultimately improve patient health outcomes. The operational aspects of RTLS and its potential benefits will be covered in an upcoming blog post.
What are the key indoor location sensing technologies on the market? There are six prevalent solutions, and a further patent pendingĀ [1] technology just on the horizon. Each has its own features and capabilities, advantages and disadvantages. The seven technologies are listed below (and the full white paper can be downloaded at the bottom of this page):
NodeNs Medical have developed a mmWave RTLS technology which has the potential to disrupt the healthcare RTLS space by providing tagless tracking, with market-leading accuracy
A quick summary of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the different RTLS technologies is shown in the table below.
