In large urban hospitals, small delays can ripple into longer wait times, staff frustration and operational inefficiencies. A major Central district hospital in Hong Kong addressed these challenges by partnering with Minew Technologies to deploy a real-time indoor navigation and asset tracking system powered by Qorvo Ultra-Wideband technology.

The Challenge: Delays That Disrupt Patient and Staff Experience

In a dense hospital environment, navigating to appointments and locating critical equipment can take valuable time. These delays compound quickly, impacting patient flow, increasing staff workload and reducing overall operational efficiency.

"Qorvo’s UWB gives our beacons the stability and precision that complex hospital environments demand.” — Minew Product Manager Tim Li

The Solution: Real-Time Visibility Powered by UWB

The hospital deployed a solution built with energy-efficient UWB beacons that deliver precise performance even in complex environments filled with interference and reflective surfaces. This infrastructure enables accurate indoor navigation for patients and rapid asset tracking for staff.

Within months of deployment, patient wait times dropped, equipment search time fell to under a minute and staff satisfaction increased significantly. By bringing real-time visibility to people and assets, the hospital transformed everyday workflows while improving the patient experience.
