Hospital Asset Tracking in India: Solving a ₹1.8 Crore Problem
A single Indian hospital can lose over ₹1.8 crore a year—not from surgeries gone wrong or billing disputes, but simply from patients getting lost and assets vanishing into storerooms. Nurses—India's most overworked frontline caregivers—can lose up to 60 minutes per shift just searching for equipment. These aren't isolated issues. And most hospitals have no system in place to fix them. The Hidden Costs Draining Indian Hospitals Rising costs in healthcare aren't always about advanced machinery or doctor salaries. Many of India's private hospitals are silently losing lakhs every year because of invisible inefficiencies. Nurses waste up to 60 minutes per shift searching for equipment. Mobile medical devices like ECGs and oxygen cylinders go missing due to lack of tracking systems. Patients miss appointments after getting lost in multi-building campuses. Over-ordering of equipment happens due to poor visibility into what already exists. These aren't one-off problems—they are systemic leaks in the engine. How Much Time Do Nurses Lose Searching for Equipment? A report in Nursing Times shows that nurses lose 30–60 minutes per shift just finding medical equipment. For a 300-bed facility with 100 nurses, that adds up to over 50,000 hours of wasted skilled time each year. At a conservative ₹200/hour, that's ₹1 crore in annual productivity lost—not on patient care, but on chasing items like IV pumps or monitors. Now imagine recovering even 80% of that time through a real-time asset tracking system for hospitals. That's more healing, less hunting. Why Hospitals Keep Losing Expensive Equipment According to studies in both U.S. and Indian hospitals, 10–20% of mobile assets are lost or stolen over their lifecycle. In India, this often includes: Oxygen cylinders ECG machines Stretchers Patient monitors The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) found that in Kerala alone, medical equipment worth ₹7.28 crore was left unused due to mismanagement or lack of trained staff. And because hospitals can't track these assets, they over-order backup stock—leading to utilisation rates as low as 50%, compared to an industry ideal of 75–80%. This is a classic case of capital sitting idle while the system keeps spending. What is RTLS? Why Smart Hospitals in India Are Adopting It Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) are indoor navigation and positioning systems that allow hospitals to: Track the location of assets and staff Guide patients through large campuses Reduce appointment no-shows Improve response time in emergencies However, most RTLS solutions require Wi-Fi, Bluetooth beacons, or expensive infrastructure—which makes them impractical for many Indian hospitals. Solution- A Hardware-Free RTLS System As hospitals search for indoor navigation systems that work without Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or explore RTLS solutions tailored for Indian settings, one trend stands out: the shift toward hardware-free, softwar++++e-driven platforms. One such system gaining traction is Mapsted, which operates without external beacons or routers. Instead, it uses smartphone sensors and passive tags—making it more compatible with India's dense, multilingual, and often infrastructure-constrained hospital environments. Mapsted's RTLS works directly through smartphones and passive tags—making it: Cheaper to deploy Easier to maintain More suited to India's dense OPDs and multilingual patient base Hospitals using Mapsted's location-based platform have seen: Increased patient throughput Fewer missed appointments Reduction in lost equipment Over 2,000 staff hours saved annually Smart Navigation Is Not a Fancy Add-On—It's Infrastructure India's healthcare system is under pressure: rising medical costs, growing patient volumes, and a shrinking skilled workforce. To solve these challenges, hospitals must stop thinking of smart navigation and hospital asset tracking as 'nice to have' technologies. They are foundational tools for: Cutting operational losses Improving staff productivity Making better use of every rupee invested By choosing a solution like Mapsted's hardware-free RTLS system, hospitals don't just save money—they transform how healthcare works.

LookDeep Health Platform Launches New Capabilities to Reduce Workplace Violence in Healthcare Facilities
BUSINESS WIRE)-- LookDeep Health today announced new AI capabilities to protect hospital care teams from workplace violence. LookDeep has added new functions to its AI-driven platform to upgrade safety from reactive notification to proactive prevention, enabling video-based security protocols to use AI to flag and prevent potential attacks. Healthcare workers represent just 10% of the U.S. labor force, yet they suffer nearly half of all reported non‑fatal injuries caused by workplace violence. Two nurses are assaulted in an acute‑care setting every hour. Events such as the February 2025 hostage‑taking at a Pennsylvania ICU that left a police officer dead now make national headlines. Protecting professionals who dedicate their lives to caring for others isn't just a moral imperative — it impacts workforce retention, patient care quality, and hospital finances. 'Violence in a patient room rarely comes out of nowhere—it follows a rapid yet recognizable progression,' said Narinder Singh, Founder and CEO of LookDeep. 'Tension builds through agitated movements, raised voices, and escalating behaviors. Clinicians sense rising danger and may call for help. If uninterrupted, these situations can quickly turn harmful. With AI, we can support clinicians exactly when they call for assistance—and even earlier—by sensing risk and providing an extra set of eyes or timely intervention to help de-escalate before an incident occurs. We can use the same technology hospitals already need for telemedicine to better care for the nurses and doctors that care for our loved ones.' The LookDeep platform now includes multiple key features to keep nurses, clinicians, and staff (as well as patients) safe from violence in the care center. These include: Voice Activation of Indirect or Directed Help Words - Staff can ask for help when they feel like they need it in an overt or subtle way. AI-Powered Situational Awareness - Modern computer‑vision platforms turn the video infrastructure many facilities already use for tele‑ICU, telesitting, and virtual nursing into a continuous safety net, providing ambient awareness. Voice and Vision are used to flag rooms where tensions are escalating even prior to staff requests for help. Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) integration: Wearable badges allow staff to silently call for help when under duress. Paired with the AI-driven LookDeep platform, hospitals can directly link their systems to detect and respond to threats much faster. About LookDeep Health LookDeep Health is reshaping hospital care with advanced computer vision and AI technology to create a safer and more efficient environment for patients and providers. VisionAI Agents work alongside hospital staff to continuously monitor patients, alerting clinicians to potential risks to help improve care outcomes. By integrating these capabilities into virtual sitting, virtual nursing, and virtual medicine, LookDeep enhances patient safety, reduces staff strain, and improves hospital efficiency – helping facilities cut operational costs while elevating the quality of care.
