Hundreds of TEPR 2006 attendees will be given an ultrawide-band badge that will track their location by set "zones" throughout the conference. The zones will mimic a busy urban hospital. Attendees can be tracked in the "Emergency Department, Perioperative Suite," and throughout "Ancillary Departments." As the attendees move throughout the exhibit hall and conference sessions, sensors will automatically capture their movement and display the data on HP Monitors located throughout the hall. Attendees will be able to interact with the locating technology through displays set up at the conference and use it to locate participating friends and colleagues in real-time, in addition to seeing their own movement throughout the conference.
The demonstration will be run with the Amelior Tracker communication and tracking system. Amelior Tracker products are available for emergency-department, perioperative-suite, outpatient-services, and hospital-wide asset tracking. Additional information and registration for the event is available at www.tepr.com.
