Smart Hospital Asset and Patient Tracking using AWS TwinMaker

Smart Hospital Asset & Patient Tracking using AWS TwinMaker and IoT Core

In today’s fast-moving hospital environment, knowing where assets and patients are is as important as what they’re doing. OneData’s Smart Hospital Asset & Patient Tracking solution brings clarity and control by leveraging AWS IoT and digital twin technology to give hospitals a live, accurate view of their operations.

How It Works

• Using IoT tags (for medical equipment) and BLE or RTLS wristbands (for patient movement), devices connect securely to AWS IoT Core. OneData helps design the network, manage onboarding of devices, and ensure connectivity. This aligns with their core IoT services.

• Data from these devices (location updates, usage status, movement patterns) is fed into AWS IoT TwinMaker, which builds a digital twin-representation of the hospital floor, equipment, and flow of people. This allows staff and management to visualise in 3D the layout, the assets, and the patterns.

• On top of this, OneData layers analytics and insights: which equipment is idle, which patient is waiting too long, what’s the average transport time between wards, etc. Because OneData emphasises custom IoT applications and analytics for healthcare among other industries.

• Alerts and workflows are triggered automatically: an asset leaves its designated zone → maintenance notified; a patient remains in transit too long → alert triggered; equipment usage falls below threshold → scheduling insight provided.

Why It Matters

Hospitals and clinics are complex environments with high asset value (medical devices, beds), and critical workflows (patient treatment, movement, transfer). Without real-time tracking, assets get lost or under-used, patients wait longer, staff waste time searching for equipment. OneData’s solution helps turn this chaos into visibility: assets become visible, patient journeys become clearer, and decisions become data-driven rather than guess-based.

Use Cases

• Large hospitals want to track life-support equipment across multiple floors and get notified if units leave designated zones.

• Clinics want to monitor patient flow from registration → diagnostics → treatment → discharge and identify bottlenecks.

• Lab facilities need to ensure sensitive equipment is not moved or mis-used, and maintenance is scheduled proactively.

• Rehabilitation or long-stay care facilities want to monitor patient movement, ensure safety, and optimise bed or equipment utilisation.

What OneData Brings

• End-to-end IoT services: device connectivity, data ingestion, security, manage-ability.

*• Expertise in building custom cloud and IoT solutions for healthcare among other verticals. *

• A user-friendly, scalable AWS-backed architecture — meaning hospitals can start small and scale up as their needs grow.

• Ongoing monitoring and support to ensure the solution continues to deliver value, while devices and data remain secure and compliant.
