Real-time location for smart hospital beds

Every bed knows exactly where it is. And where it’s been.

Build E'OME into your beds and each one reports its exact (x, y, z) position to within ~15 cm, updated up to 50 times a second, with its full movement history. Your beds become part of how the hospital finds equipment, traces infection contacts and keeps patients safe.

Built into your product, or fitted to beds already in the field. Small, battery-powered, virtually maintenance-free.

Why it matters to your customers

Three questions hospitals ask every day

A bed that can answer them is worth more to the hospital buying it. E'OME gives your beds the answers, on top of the hardware and features you already build.

“Where is that bed?”

Beds and high-value equipment move between wards, lifts and storage all day, and staff lose time searching. With E'OME, every bed shows its live position and where it has been, so staff stop searching and start knowing.

“Who was where, and when?”

When an infection breaks out, infection control needs to know which patients, staff and beds were in the same place, and for how long. Movement history answers that in minutes, not days of interviews.

“Where did the patient go?”

Some patients wander off. Anyone wearing a tag can be found in real time, down to the room and floor, because E'OME measures height as well as position.

What E'OME adds to your bed

A location layer for your product line

You keep designing the bed. E'OME supplies accurate, real-time location as one component you build in.

01 / TRACK

Live position, built in

A small, battery-powered tag inside the frame reports the bed’s exact spot in real time.

  • (x, y, z) to within ~15 cm, so it can tell bays and floors apart
  • Smooth, continuous tracks, without jumps between readings
  • The same tag also works on staff, pumps and other equipment
02 / HISTORY

A record of every move

Every position is stored, so your platform can show where a bed has been, not just where it is.

  • Contact tracing when an infection breaks out
  • Proof of where and how the fleet is really used
  • Find beds left in corridors, lifts or storage
03 / NAVIGATE

On-board navigation for powered movers

If you build motorised bed movers, or work alongside hospital robots, each device can calculate its own position on board, in real time.

  • Like satellite navigation, but works indoors
  • Up to 50 position updates a second, with millisecond latency
  • Designed for robots, AGVs and handheld devices
How it works

From the bed frame to the hospital’s screen

E'OME sits between your hardware and your software. The bed doesn’t need to be redesigned around it.

1Build in or fit on

Build the tag into a new bed line, or attach it to beds already in hospitals. The tags are small, battery-powered and virtually maintenance-free.

2E'OME locates it

The platform calculates the bed’s exact (x, y, z) position to within ~15 cm, up to 50 times a second, and keeps its history. Reliable around metal frames, walls and busy crowds.

3You show it your way

Location becomes a feature of your platform: which floor, which room, which bay, where the bed has been, and alerts when a bed or patient is somewhere it shouldn’t be.

Technical parameters

The numbers your engineers will ask for

E'OME combines several technologies into one real-time location system. It is built for accuracy, low latency, energy efficiency, robustness, flexibility and price.

Let’s cover the rest on a technical call

Integration interfaces, certification and data security depend on your bed platform and markets. We’ll go through them with your engineering team:

  • Tag size and mounting in your frame
  • Data interfaces for your software
  • Update rate and battery plan for each use
  • Regulatory and security requirements
Accuracy ~15 cm (x, y, z)Stable, reliable readings in real-world conditions, including height.
Update rate up to 50 HzSmooth, continuous tracks, without jumps between readings.
