Having developed its Real-Time Localization Systems (RTLS) for more than five years, MYSPHERA is revolutionizing the market with a new concept of health process management called “Hospital Process Manager.”
“This operation gives us the opportunity to bring our advanced hospital management solutions to new international markets, and thus improve the processes of hospitals globally, positively impacting the patients’ experience,” said MYSPHERA CEO Salvador Vera in a statement.
The Spanish company’s vision is to empower clinicians, patients, and Healthcare Management with smartsensor-driven, on-demand actionable information to improve patient care outcomes while increasing efficient management of resources in hospitals, senior living, and patient homes.
Healthcare providers win process visibility to improve efficiency, efficacy and optimization of resources in real time and thanks to data analisys. Patients win safety in the clinical process, and relatives get more satisfaction because they are informed in real time about the patient status in the clinical process and location.
The technological platform of MYSPHERA is able to measure real health processes, providing data and applications to professionals and administrators to improve the efficiency of their activities, saving time, costs and optimizing the occupation of the operating rooms with the consequent reduction of waiting lists. It also improves the clinical safety of patients and informs their relatives of their status in real time through screens in waiting rooms or a free App.
