Wheelchair Tracking
Optimize Utilization & Availability
Optimize Utilization & Availability
U.S. hospitals lose 100K wheelchairs annually, adding up to a $100M loss. Know where your wheelchairs are with Kontakt.io’s cloud-based, real-time medical asset management platform. Access wheelchairs as soon as you need them, and automate workflows in high-volume areas. Unlock significant cost savings and reduce injuries and health risks related to wheelchair shortages.
- Automate PAR Level Workflows
- Reduce Patient Health Risks
- Save Up To $75K Per Year
Bed Management
Boost Patient Intake and Flow
Boost Patient Intake and Flow
Inefficient hospital bed management is the culprit of a series of problems, from bed shortages to delays in bed turnovers to long wait times to loss of staff productivity. Our location-based device management IoT solution gives you real-time visibility into bed location and usage status to make the best use of your bed capacity.
- Improve Bed Utilization
- Optimize Patient Throughput
- Enhance Patient Safety
“Integrating the Kontakt.io technology into our current wireless technology and making the contacts actually work with our wireless access points was one of the key factors to get this deployment to be effective. The whole project, from app development to go-live, took only three or four months. This is not just a patient tool, but also an operational tool to improve how we deliver service to our customers.”
“Working with Kontakt.io was incredibly simple. The set up took just days, they pre-programmed the tags to work with our system and once the devices shipped, we just plugged them in and that was it. It’s a very simple process.”

Each asset is assigned a unique BLE tag that is permanently linked to that device in the asset management system. Tags are affixed using medical-grade adhesive, low-profile mounts, or protective casings depending on the equipment type and cleaning requirements.
Once attached, the tag continuously broadcasts location data through the existing Wi-Fi/BLE infrastructure without requiring staff to scan or interact with it. Tags are monitored centrally for battery health and replaced on a multi-year cycle, making them part of standard biomed lifecycle management rather than an added clinical burden.
Yes. Devices have several communication options:
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a protocol that can bypass the need for additional internet connections (either Ethernet or WiFi).
- Native integrations with third-party WiFI access points produced by Cisco, Juniper Mist, and Aruba.
Yes, you can map rooms to statuses, which we use to automatically update asset status.
We offer three types of asset tags:
- Asset Tag 2. Rated for eight years of use, Asset Tag 2s are durable and intuitive, with two smart buttons for simplified maintenance and replenishment checks. Built on open standards and APIs, Asset Tag 2s are compatible with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), existing WiFi networks, Kontakt.io devices, and other infrastructure.
- Asset Tag 2 Mini. A scaled-down version of the Asset Tag 2, Minis are rated for five years of continuous use and are the size of a postage stamp — ideal for locating smaller assets.
- Sticker Tag. Flat and lightweight, Sticker Tags are rated for two years of use, and are perfect for tracking handheld devices or daily use items. Built from biodegradable, non-toxic materials, Sticker Tags are compatible with your existing IT infrastructure.
Depending on the device, battery life ranges from two to eight years. As part of our managed services, Kontakt.io replaces devices when batteries are depleted.
Kontakt.io devices guarantee room-level precision and accuracy within 15 feet. We achieve this by installing static Portal Beams throughout your facility, which utilize infrared imaging and serve as location beacons and receivers. Portal Beams draw electricity from power-over-Ethernet or DC outlets; communicate via existing WiFi infrastructure or BLE; and can be fixed to ceilings in minutes.
Our teams do the initial install at your site and tag as many assets as they can. They will set up infrastructure depending on your location: portal lights, portal beams, etc.
Minimal disruption to operations and existing technologies. The Kontakt.io platform was designed to be as unintrusive as possible: easily installed, configured, integrated, and scaled. Our tags and badges are battery-powered and are rated for three to four years of use, while in-room equipment (such as the Portal Beams) receive power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which is already available in most hospitals.
Security is foundational to the platform: Kontakt.io is cloud-based, uses encrypted communication, and supports role-based access controls to align with hospital IT standards. We operate under HIPAA security requirements and execute BAAs where appropriate, with secure API integrations into systems like the EHR. For any engagement, we provide detailed security documentation and work directly with hospital InfoSec teams to ensure compliance with their specific policies and review processes.
The Kontakt.io platform provides continuous, room-level visibility through Portal Beams and BLE infrastructure, turning location into a live operational dataset rather than a periodic event.
Because it layers onto existing Wi-Fi infrastructure and is delivered as a cloud-based service, our platform also minimizes disruption and maintenance. It integrates directly into analytics and AI-driven orchestration tools.
