Specialized equipment for examinations at patients' beds, portable x-ray or ECG devices, or even wheelchairs - searching round the hospital for the appropriate medical equipment often wastes a lot of staff’s time that could be spent on helping patients. However, thanks to the technology of scientists from the GUT Department of Microwave and Antenna Engineering, it will be possible to overcome this problem.
Gdańsk University of Technology signed an agreement with Copernicus Ltd. in Gdańsk on handing over an innovative indoor location system to the medics. The system is the result of many years of research and development work of scientists from the GUT Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, who developed algorithms and prepared devices containing the so-called reconfigurable antennas - enabling the location of individual objects with very high accuracy.
