Healthcare RTLS leader reports significant movement in client base toward next generation platform, continued growth

SAN DIEGO – February 13, 2014 – Awarepoint Corporation, the largest real-time location system (RTLS) corporation dedicated exclusively to healthcare, announced the close of a strong year with sales momentum and progress in moving its clients to the next generation platform, the aware360°Suite. The latest client to contract for migration is UCSF Medical Center, which also expanded the solution to two additional facilities. With the addition of UCSF Medical Center, a total of 32 clients have now migrated to this next generation platform.
As UCSF Medical Center prepares to open a new hospital in early 2015, technology investments will optimize the patient and caregiver experience. The RTLS platform will span the 878,000 square-foot hospital enterprise, leveraging sophisticated equipment and patient tracking software to proactively improve asset, staff and patient flow.
“We are excited to see one of our flagship clients migrating to the new platform,” said Jay Deady, President and Chief Executive Officer of Awarepoint. “We created the next generation, cloud-based platform for RTLS using sophisticated analytics to optimize patient flow and reduce operating costs. We will continue innovating and helping clients deliver safe, efficient, high-quality care.”
