IBM Active Middleware Technology™
University Hospital of Nice
This project lead by La Gaude e-Business Solution Center / Wireless Enterprise Lab, has been done in partnership with the University Hospital of Nice, and addressed the optimization of the patient path in the Hospital's Emergency Unit, through the use of RFID and Wireless technologies.
IBM Active Middleware Technology™ is used to optimize patient path in Emergency Unit. For instance, when a patient arrives to the emergency Unit, he is registered (this event is sent to the IBM Active Middleware Technology™ engine) and then directed to the Medicine area to meet a physician. When he enters this area this localization event is also sent to the IBM Active Middleware Technology™ engine and a time frame is initialized. If the patient isn't seen by the physician after this predefined time frame, an alert is sent to the system notifying that this patient have been waiting for a too long period.
