Manual temperature control and documentation by nursing staff is eliminated. Any number of objects can be tracked on dashboards. In addition to reducing the workload, continuous and automatic documentation also offers significantly more safety than spot checks. Even entire warehouses, where medicines may be stored at a maximum of 25 degrees, can be reliably monitored with little effort.
Many medications must be stored in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C. As a rule, the temperature is manually checked and documented several times a day by nursing staff. The simplinic temperature monitoring system makes this unnecessary. The measurement data from the environmental sensors in the refrigerator are sent via Bluetooth to a receiver, which transmits the data via the Internet to the simplinic cloud. There, the measurement points are processed and made available in dashboards. The data is continuously collected and documented. Unwanted deviations of the temperature from the normal range, usually between two and eight degrees Celsius, thus become transparent.
"We wanted a solution that would not only work on the ward, but also in our warehouses, where we do not have our own WLAN," says Andreas Melchert from Sana Einkauf & Logistik GmbH, "In Ludwigsfelde, the temperature values from the sensors are transmitted directly by mobile radio. In this way, we are now securing a warehouse value of over one million euros."
"With commercially available environmental sensors, any refrigerator can be retrofitted," says Steffen Geyer, CEO and founder of simplinic, "manual temperature control by nursing staff is actually an anachronism when you consider how easy the solution is to implement."
The Internet of Things (IoT) is based on sensors connected to the Internet. Berlin-based simplinic GmbH is a leading provider of IoT applications in hospitals. Data from sensors distributed throughout the hospital can be transmitted and analyzed via a Bluetooth low-energy network. Where no WLAN supports data transmission, simplinic also offers a solution based on mobile communications.
