A large number of assets are deployed in hospital settings, all of which have a defining role in the delivery of high-quality health care. Many of these assets are investment-intensive and highly critical to diagnosis and disease management. 
Needless to say, they need to be managed with the same exactitude as all other hospital resources.
SeeMyMachines serves as a centralized record of all hospital assets, such as medical devices (instruments or machines), medical equipment (devices that need maintenance and decommissioning), and movable assets (gurneys, wheelchairs, and so on). As an IoT-driven real-time location system (RTLS), SeeMyMachines brings unprecedented rigor and agility to the discipline of hospital asset management.
SeeMyMachines gives you a commanding view of all the hospital assets that you want to track, along with up-to-date information on their location at any given point in time. With real-time visibility enabled by the cloud-based application, you can easily locate and retrieve any asset that you need and thereby ensure faster response to equipment requirement.
The application interface provides information on each asset with respect to the floor, ward, and room where it is located. The skeuomorph-like visualization of the hospital floor makes it easier to find out the exact location of assets. The intuitive display expedites decision-making and resource allocation by hospital staff and helps extend the quality of healthcare delivered.
With assets being constantly shifted from one area of the hospital to another, manual inventories can soon become chaotic and ineffective. Being an automated inventory system, SeeMyMachines eliminates the need for manual asset verification. It prevents theft through real-time alerts and detects underutilization of assets, leading to direct financial gains and better investment planning by hospitals.
Asset Location
Keep track of asset location with up-to-the-minute updates.
Nearest Available Asset
Locate assets that can be quickly pressed into service in case of an emergency.
Asset Utilization
Get the big picture on utilization with details of assets that are idle and in use.
Asset Maintenance
Identify assets that are out of service owing to repairs and maintenance.
Asset Location History
Map the movement of assets with respect to previous locations and time.
Asset Security
Safeguard assets from theft and loss by means of inbuilt alerts.
SeeMyMachines leverages the Internet of Things technology to provide live updates of asset whereabouts. All hospital assets that need to be tracked are numbered and outfitted with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors. WiFi-enabled BLE Readers stationed at different points in the hospital pick up the signals emitted by the sensors and transmit them to a central web portal. On the portal, users can track or search assets by each building and floor and identify the exact location of the asset on a hospital floor map.
Visibility
Gives you a complete picture of all the hospital assets, including individual location, utilization, and maintenance status.
Accountability
Improves asset allocation and utilization, thus reducing wasteful investments and generating a higher return.
Accessibility
Offers you the flexible choice of mobile/tablet/desktop access for information on the go.
Adaptability
Fulfills user-specific asset tracking requirements by virtue of being fully customizable and adaptable to various contexts.
Scalability
Scales smoothly, enabling you to store vast amounts of hospital asset data on SeeMyMachines’ cloud platform.
Interoperability
Integrates with other hospital information systems and helps maintain data consistency across systems.
User-Friendliness
Supports contextually relevant visualization that enables easy access to information.
Extensibility
SeeMyMachines can be extended to track employees, patients, and newborns in real time, thus improving staff efficiency and patient security.
Unlike RFID-based systems, the BLE-based SeeMyMachines offers a more accessible, secure, and adaptable indoor asset location tracking solution. It captures and relays more asset-related information (including fall detection and utilization) than RFID solutions, which can handle only a limited set of data. Again, unlike RFID solutions, it provides greater security through encryption.
SeeMyMachines makes it easier to connect and access asset information on mobile handsets. The signals are maintained at a low level, so they don’t pose any risk to biomedical equipment through electromagnetic interference. This makes SeeMyMachines completely safe to implement in hospitals.
