Regional Hospital St. Trudo Expands Use of AeroScout Healthcare Visibility Solution to Include Tracking of Patients and Wi-Fi Devices

Hospital Improving Patient Safety With Location Information of Ambulatory
Patients and Dräger Wireless Telemetry Monitors
DÜSSELDORF, Germany--(Business Wire)--
AeroScout, the leading provider of Unified Asset Visibility for the healthcare
industry, working with Dräger, today announced that St. Trudo Hospital in
Belgium is extending the use of its AeroScout Healthcare Visibility solution to
include tracking the location of patients and Wi-Fi devices. Central among the
tracked Wi-Fi units are Dräger`s Infinity® M300 patient-worn vital signs
monitors. With today`s announcement, St. Trudo is building on the success of its
existing AeroScout implementation to further improve patient safety and staff
satisfaction.

St. Trudo has been using AeroScout`s Wi-Fi RFID solution to improve the
management of critical medical equipment and to wirelessly monitor the
temperatures in key areas of the hospital. Recently, St. Trudo leveraged its
existing AeroScout Healthcare Visibility solution and its Cisco Unified Wireless
Network to add the ability to immediately locate ambulatory patients and Wi-Fi
devices. Patients are tracked either by having AeroScout Tags or by wearing
Dräger Wi-Fi Telemetry Monitors. Since AeroScout solutions track Wi-Fi devices
without needing tags or additional software of any kind, all patients wearing
Dräger`s monitors can be located. This allows patients to walk around the
hospital while still being monitored and tracked. Since Wi-Fi is prevalent in
the hospital, patients are able to leave their unit and even their floor while
still being visible to nurses and staff. This not only increases patient safety,
but also patient and nurse satisfaction.

"Every project we execute and every technology we implement is done with the
goal of improving patient care and operational efficiency," said Daniel Loos,
Manager, Information Technology, at Regional Hospital St. Trudo. "AeroScout`s
solution has proven to be a very effective way for us to manage and better
utilize our medical equipment. We`re now leveraging the investments in our
AeroScout solution, Dräger patient monitors and Wi-Fi network to further enhance
patient safety and comfort."

Regional Hospital St. Trudo serves the Limburg and Vlaams-Brabant regions of
Belgium. The hospital originally installed AeroScout`s Healthcare Visibility
solution, including Wi-Fi Tags and MobileView software, in 2008 to track and
manage expensive specialty mattresses, IV pumps, supply carts and wheelchairs
that are required throughout the facility, as well as to accurately monitor the
temperature inside the hospital`s data center. A key feature of AeroScout`s
MobileView software is its ability to provide real-time location information for
any Wi-Fi device connected to the network, such as computers-on-wheels or Dräger
Infinity M300 patient-worn monitors, without the need for additional tags or
software installations.

The Dräger Infinity M300 is a compact, wearable, wireless patient monitor that
uses the Wi-Fi network to transmit patients` vital signs telemetry to computers
at nurse stations in the ICU and Cardiology ward of St. Trudo Hospital. Working
with Dräger and AeroScout, St. Trudo is able to use its existing AeroScout
solution to track the location of patients wearing an Infinity M300. This gives
patients more mobility and enables the nursing staff to use MobileView to locate
ambulatory patients in need of immediate attention.

"As a former hospital nurse, I am well aware of the implications and stress that
can result when clinicians can`t easily locate equipment and patients," said Wim
Verduyn, Director, EMEA Healthcare, at AeroScout. "When an emergency occurs,
it`s important to be able to locate patients and critical equipment quickly.
AeroScout is proud to work with St. Trudo and Dräger to help improve care and
safety at the hospital."
