A pilot study published in the official journal of the European Resuscitation Council (https://www.resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-9572(19)30680-X/fulltext) clearly indicates how geolocation can reduce response times by 40% for all those who make a geolocated call compared to calls where the location must be specified. Time to first thoracic compression was significantly faster in the geolocation group (83.0 vs. 122.6 s; p < 0.001). Geolocation within high-criticality spaces, such as hospital facilities, is an essential topic in emergency management for patient transport and to have an effective and rapid method for tracking patient movements in contexts with a high risk of infection.
The TapMyLife localization solution within hospitals, starting with emergency rooms, is a choice that ensures safety for patients and operators, with real-time and historical monitoring of positions and movements, and operational support for emergency situations.
The localization of critical and infected patients, control of movements, and securing environments are increasingly essential elements for managing safe spaces, as demonstrated by the dramatic and difficult management of the current emergency for patients affected by COVID-19.
