Abstract

Recently, visualizing location of people and things in a hospital has become an issue particularly for improving work efficiency and incident prevention. Although radio frequency waves such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are commonly used in indoor positioning, they have several limitations owing to their physical characteristics. We proposed in-hospital hybrid positioning technique, involving a combination of radio waves and geomagnetic fingerprinting techniques. We compared accuracy of proposed technique with that of Wi-Fi- and BLE-based techniques.
