Protecting residents
without confining them.
Across three buildings, Pole Star unifies staff duress, wireless nurse call and resident wandering detection in one indoor location platform. Geofencing detects abnormal movement or unauthorized exits - so teams intervene quickly, while residents keep their autonomy.
3 buildings · 7,700 m²
One platform, three missions, one campus
The deployment spans the entire campus - managing staff and residents simultaneously, across care, residential and technical areas.
What the deployment covers
- Coverage of three interconnected buildings
- 360 geofencing zones across care, residential and technical areas
- Simultaneous management of staff and residents
- Real-time indoor localization across all monitored spaces
Two populations to protect, in the same buildings
Brighton Health Campus is a healthcare and senior living environment composed of three buildings covering a total of 7,700 m². The campus must simultaneously manage the safety of staff and the well-being of residents across a complex, multi-building layout.
Staff
Protection during incidents, and nurse call workflows that respond to the right place.
Residents
Continuous well-being monitoring - without turning the campus into a closed environment.
Deploy a unified safety solution capable of handling staff protection, nurse call workflows and resident monitoring within the same indoor location platform - while ensuring precise localization and operational reliability.
Three safety workflows, one indoor location system
Pole Star implemented a comprehensive solution combining staff duress, wireless nurse call and resident wandering detection within a single indoor location system.
Staff duress
Staff members are equipped with badges featuring an emergency button, enabling immediate alert triggering and precise localization in case of incident.
Wireless nurse call
Assistance requests are instantly associated with an exact indoor location, improving response accuracy.
Resident wandering
Wearable devices enable continuous monitoring of movements. Geofencing rules detect abnormal behavior or unauthorized exits.
Intervening quickly, without taking away freedom
This is the balance that matters most in senior living. Geofencing lets care teams intervene quickly when something is wrong - an unauthorized exit, an abnormal movement pattern - while preserving residents' autonomy the rest of the time. Residents move freely; the system watches only for the exceptions.
Precision across a multi-building campus
The solution relies on Pole Star's indoor location platform, dimensioned to ensure precise, reliable localization across a complex, multi-building campus.
NAO® Track NG
As the real-time location and alert engine driving all three workflows.
NAO® BlueListener 3-Play
100+ units deployed to collect BLE signals across the campus.
NAO® BlueSpot
190 units to enhance indoor positioning accuracy.
Wearables & badges
70+ resident wearables and 30+ staff badges equipped with panic buttons.
Dimensioning the BLE infrastructure at this density is what makes 360 distinct geofencing zones workable - the granularity the wandering use case depends on.
Significant operational and safety benefits
Improved safety for both staff and residents
Two populations protected by the same platform.
Faster, more accurate response
To incidents and assistance requests alike.
Early detection of resident wandering
Through geofencing across 360 defined zones.
Unified management
Multiple safety use cases within a single platform.
Three workflows on one platform means care teams learn one system, not three - and every alert, whoever raises it, arrives with a location.
