Bluetooth low energy (BLE) smart ID cards were provided to all the staff and patients and BLE smart tags were attached to all medical equipment. Smart Sensors (called CloudSense) were installed at specific locations at the hospital. BLE signals transmitted from these Smart ID cards and Tags were captured by CloudSense devices and sent to the assistplus cloud in real-time.
