Software compiles filterable contact history reports, DVR-style map playback.
When a contagious patient, visitor, or staff member moves through a hospital, infection preventionists must reconstruct every contact to contain the spread. Manual tracing relies on interviews, memory, and chart review, which takes days and misses interactions, including contacts with shared equipment. Delays widen exposure, force precautionary unit closures, and add to the cost burden of healthcare-associated infections. Few facilities hold an objective record of who was in a room, with whom, and for how long.
Automated Contact Tracing for Healthcare applies CenTrak's clinical-grade RTLS to log movements and interactions of badged staff, tagged patients, and tagged equipment, producing a contagion report within seconds rather than days of interviews and chart review. Infection control teams filter contact history by location, timeframe, or individual, replay movement on facility maps, and see exact exposure durations, so testing, cleaning, and isolation are targeted without facility-wide shutdowns.
Gen2IR monitors and virtual walls installed in rooms and bays broadcast infrared location IDs that do not pass through walls, giving clinical-grade room-level certainty. Wearable staff badges, single-use patient tags, and equipment tags receive these IDs and transmit them with their identity over CenTrak's 900 MHz RF backbone, with Wi-Fi, BLE, LF, and UHF options for specific environments, to the on-premises CenTrak server. The software continuously builds an interaction history; when an infection is confirmed, staff filter contacts by location, timeframe, or individual, replay movement on facility maps, review exposure durations, and export reports so containment actions target only affected people, equipment, and areas.
