NEWTOWN, Pa., March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CenTrak, a leader in real-time location systems (RTLS) for healthcare, will debut its next generation of products at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, March 9–12 in Las Vegas (Booth #3009). CenTrak will demonstrate a connected set of technological innovations across the platform designed to help healthcare organizations translate real-time location data into meaningful insights across staff safety, patient protection, and operational performance.
At HIMSS 2026, attendees will experience live, in-booth demonstrations of Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE)-enabled workflows that mirror real clinical scenarios, from initiating a mobile duress alert using a wearable staff badge or mobile app, to understanding the movement and utilization of critical medical equipment. These demonstrations show how location intelligence goes beyond simply locating items, empowering caregivers to make decisions that improve safety, efficiency, and patient care.
“With CenTrak’s latest innovations, such as mobile applications for staff and low-cost, disposable tags for assets, patients, and visitors, healthcare organizations can expand the utility of their RTLS investments while leveraging AI-enhanced reporting to maximize ongoing value and return on adoption,” said Crystal Ryan, Chief Commercial Officer at CenTrak. “We’ve evolved our ConnectRT platform to help organizations act on location-driven insights immediately, whether that means responding to a duress event, efficiently managing a fleet of mobile medical equipment, or monitoring a vulnerable patient, without adding complexity to the technology ecosystem. Our goal is to provide a single, comprehensive platform that gives healthcare teams the confidence and clarity they need to focus on what matters most, delivering high-quality care.”
Highlighted innovations at HIMSS 2026 include:
- DuressRT Mobile App – Enables discreet duress alerts from mobile phones, extending staff protection beyond facility walls to parking lots, courtyards, home health visits, and more.
- CenTrak Safety Bracelet – A watch-like RTLS wearable designed for continuous monitoring of high-risk or wandering patients in behavioral health and senior care environments.
- AI-Enhanced AssetsRT – Leverages AI to analyze data across all assets, uncovering meaningful trends and patterns that help hospitals optimize workflows and reduce inefficiencies. Includes natural language search and reporting to quickly locate devices and extract actionable insights.
