Location technologies have been improved and become popular during last years
•Outdoor technologies such as GPS (Global Positioning System) or LBS (Location Based Service) consolidated in our day to day life.
•Indoor technologies still a huge discussion, and it seems very dependant of application associated
The possibility of always knowing where your patients are provides a tremendous opportunity to the hospital to
improve patient’s safety and clinical effectiveness.

Clinical security in hospitals is a key issue
•World Alliance for Patient SafetyWashington DC, USA — 27 October 2004
"Please do me no harm“
•CISP (Research Center for Clinical Safety of Patients)
•Alert nº1: False identification of patients•Alert nº4: Mistakes on Surgery•Alert nº7: Safe administration of drugs and medicaments

HAT IS REQUIRED?•Precision •Room level approach•Area level approach
•Real time access to information •Centralized system •Available for medical and administrative staff •On real time, everywhere
•Secure identification •Automatic security•Proximity identification
•Tracking and analytics •Record the patient’s habitual movements
• time spent in one area• time needed to move from one area to other
•Areas and rooms•Percentage usage of areas and rooms, •Load and flow or patients, etc.
•Define alerts

ECHNOLOGY PROPOSAL•Cost/effective solution which fulfillsthe room level accuracy requirement
•Minimize the size and weight of tags patient
•Long battery life, avoiding recharges and replacement processes in the day to day work. •Scalable network:
•Location, identification and tracking•Network sensors
• Health • Ambient Assisted Living
•Coexistence with other wireless technologies and medical devices

BeaconsProcess frames
from bracelets and send the
information back to the server
ServerNetwork
coordinator and location engine
Mobile beaconsAct as fixed beacons but carried by
a person. Location information can be consulted on them
Transmit periodic ZigBee frames with information about the patient

Network scalability (stochastic address assignment)
Mobility Higher security level (clinical data security and privacy)
Profiles Manufacturer Specific Profile testing (MSP) as first
approach Health care profile possibilities
Adding location attributes to be merged to the profile Compatible with location algorithm requirements Continua Health Alliance support

ConclusionsThe ZigBee based system at hospital allows:
Safe location of patients and assetsSecure identification, avoiding mistakes Increasing security based in patients'
detection in not allowed zonesTime optimization tracking and monitoring
patients in real time Cost effective solution for area level accuracy
and minimum battery consumption Scalability of the system Usability and easy wearable system
