SmartSense goes live in Tan Tock Seng Hospital

Singapore, 16 January 2007

Hospital wide deployment of SmartSense Admission-Discharge-Transfer (ADT) module took place in Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) on 16 January 2007.

By using RFID technology, patients' locations were monitored to better manage bed allocation. Patients only have to wear a wrist identification tag, also known as SmartTAG, to transmit location information to the central server, which will decode and send data to an online dashboard system indicating bed availability.

As a result, hospital staff can obtain the real-time status of bed availability in the wards and thus reduce in-patient registration and admission processing time significantly.
