2. Copyright © Tekes 02-2012DM Real-time positioning takes security to the next level  In hospitals and care homes personal location data is of vital importance: monitoring dementia patients and providing nurse’s help or assistance can be done effectively throughout the entire facility. Safety – response to calls for help and alarms can be speeded up; alarms can be sent directly to the nearest helper; necessary tools and measuring devices can be located within seconds. Efficiency - no need to store extra hardware; calls can be controlled by the right people with the help of location data. Comfort – patients are able to move freely without restrictions, calls and alarms can be done anywhere and staff is able to react to them quickly.  The challenge is to keep installation costs as low as possible and avoid interfering with daily work during setup. Maintenance must also be inexpansive and easy.
