The Healthcare Sector is one of these critical industries that benefit from the TASSTA features. In 2020 a huge pilot project started: TASSTA implemented a project in a hospital in Germany to make work and communications more efficient and strengthen the safety of all employees within the organization. The project was based on the combination of Indoor Localization and Lone Worker Protection features that enabled a precise location determination inside the building for emergency situations.
Indoor Localization
Localization or positioning is a well-known service nowadays. Navigation tools, such as real time maps and the Global Positioning System (GPS) are popular built-in tools in mobile phones that people use in their everyday-life. However, the main disadvantage of GPS is the loss of signal inside buildings or underground.
Indoor Localization tools are an important complement and an alternative to GPS. Unlike GPS, it doesn’t provide global coverage, but can be more accurate, efficient, and adaptive to local environments.
