Location-awareness Communications System for Improving Medical Service Quality

Location-awareness computing enables services based on the current location of a user. By adding a layer of location-awareness intelligence to the VoWLAN platform, a location-enabled VoWLAN service may further bring seamless connections for medical professionals to communicate and collaborate with each other efficiently. It significantly aids the locating relative professionals and delivering critical information for hospital urgencies. In this article, we proposed a Location Aware Patient Care Communication System (LAPC2S) is the convergence of voice and data for the purpose of reducing medical errors and providing better hospital quality of service.
