Frequently Asked Questions
What RTLS technology does CenTrak use?
CenTrak is a multi-technology Clinical-Grade RTLS. It combines Second Generation Infrared (Gen2IR), BLE, UHF active RF (900 MHz), Wi-Fi, and Low Frequency RF for chokepoint detection. Gen2IR provides certainty-based room- and bay-level location, while BLE alone delivers near-room-level accuracy.
How accurate is CenTrak RTLS for clinical use?
CenTrak markets certainty-based room- and bay-level accuracy using Gen2IR, with sub-room granularity (down to bed or bay) when Gen2IR and active RFID are layered. BLE-only deployments are positioned as near-room-level. CenTrak frames this as certainty over estimated within a few feet positioning.
Does CenTrak integrate with our EMR, CMMS, and nurse call?
Yes. CenTrak integrates with EMR/EHR systems, CMMS (computerized maintenance management systems), and nurse call. It has a documented integration with Ascom Telligence nurse call, and also connects to access control and patient engagement platforms.
How widely is CenTrak deployed?
CenTrak reports it is trusted by more than 2,000 healthcare organizations worldwide. Founded in 2007, it is a subsidiary of Halma plc.
