Access Control in Hospitals Using AI-Powered Virtual Boundaries

Enhance security and safety of patients with iQud's AI-powered virtual boundaries for hospital access control

Overview

A leading multi-specialty hospital chain, having multiple branches and a high daily footfall, was facing a prime challenge, which was in terms of managing the physical access of individuals to restricted zones like ICUs, operating theaters, labs, and medicine storage areas. To check all of these manually was time-consuming, prone to delays and breaches, and prone to error, leading to a risk to the patient’s safety and compliance. Hence, to overcome these problems, the only real-time solution provided was implementing AI-virtual boundaries and smart access control, ensuring seamless automated access along with streamlining the managerial and operational tasks.
