January 30, 2026- Midmark RTLS, a leading real-time locating system (RTLS) technology provider focused on clinical workflow solutions and data insights that improve the delivery of care, announced the official availability of the Midmark RTLS Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Sensory Network, a scalable, easy-to-deploy solution designed to help health systems rapidly achieve near-room location precision for staff, patients and equipment. This simplified approach delivers both facility-wide coverage and a future-ready foundation that can scale with operational and clinical needs.
Building on Midmark’s support for leveraging BLE-capable wireless access points, the Midmark RTLS BLE Sensory Network enables real-time locating services through easily-installed Plug-In BLE Sensors, reducing complexity and accelerating results. Designed as an enterprise-wide platform—not a point solution—the Midmark RTLS BLE Sensory Network allows healthcare organizations to implement RTLS quickly, without costly infrastructure investments, while maintaining the flexibility to expand coverage and precision-driven location capabilities.
“Healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to improve staff safety, optimize asset utilization and do more with limited resources,” said HT Snowday, senior director for Midmark RTLS. “Midmark CareFlow RTLS powered by BLE removes traditional deployment barriers and gives facilities a faster, more practical path to facility-wide RTLS coverage, delivering immediate value today while laying the groundwork for precision-driven workflows tomorrow through a smarter hybrid RTLS strategy.”
Plug In to Smarter Visibility
Designed to support critical use cases such as asset tracking and staff duress, Midmark RTLS BLE technology delivers a streamlined deployment model that balances precision, scalability and cost-effectiveness. By enabling near-room accuracy across clinical environments, the solution helps organizations gain actionable insights while supporting safer, more efficient care delivery.
Key benefits of Midmark BLE include:
— Fast, cost-effective deployment with Plug-In BLE Sensors that support facility-wide RTLS coverage with minimal disruption.
— Near-room location precision for staff, patients and equipment with 3–5 meter accuracy.
— Faster time to value through lower costs and rapid implementation.
— Scalable by design to start with critical use cases like asset tracking and/or staff duress and expand as operational needs evolve.
— Built for today, ready for tomorrow with a future-forward, extensible architecture.
The Midmark RTLS BLE Sensory Network is now commercially available and can be deployed as part of a broader Midmark RTLS strategy to support smarter, more connected healthcare environments.
A Future-Forward, Scalable Foundation for Facility-Wide Visibility and Precision-Driven Workflows
The launch of the Midmark RTLS BLE Sensory Network also marks a foundational step toward hybrid locating. Midmark’s BLE/IR Hybrid Sensory Network, now available in limited early release, combines BLE near-room accuracy with wired or wireless infrared (IR) technology for room-certain precision that supports advanced use cases.
By supporting both scalable locating and precision automation on a single platform, this hybrid architecture is designed to replace fragmented, single-purpose RTLS deployments with one cohesive, enterprise-ready system. This approach enables facility-wide visibility while selectively adding room-level accuracy to support advanced use cases such as nurse call automation, patient flow and delivering location intelligence to the EMR.
Built on the principle of RTLS simplified, this approach gives health systems a flexible path forward—deploying the capabilities they need today while remaining ready to adopt higher-precision use cases over time, without switching vendors or replacing existing infrastructure.
