Engaging patients, tracking assets

May 28, 2019

Long Range Systems (LRS), provider of location services and guest engagement, has announced the launch of VEN-U, a comprehensive platform which enables any business to engage, manage, and monitor guests, staff, and sites. Combined with in-depth data reporting, VEN-U provides real-time insights and analysis for businesses, including healthcare systems, to enhance guest engagement and maximize operational efficiency.

VEN-U offers engagement, operational management, and remote monitoring of sites and gathers data based on guest, staff, and sensor data to optimize operations for smarter venue management. Precise location technology enables accurate delivery of orders to guests or patients inside, outside or even curbside.

The VEN-U platform is designed to manage the flow of guests, staff and assets in restaurants, QSRs, hospitality and in healthcare settings.

“The VEN-U Location platform is used for locating both patients and staff inside a facility and the VEN-U Sensors portion of the platform is used to monitor temperatures, the presence of various chemical components, humidity, water presence, motion, vibration, access, lighting, and voltage,” John Weber, President and CEO of LRS told Healthcare Purchasing News. “Threshold can be set per item and alters can be sent in real time via SMS texts as well as customizable dashboards for analytics.

“This can help with patient flow and reduce wait times as well as locating staff and communicating with them,” he continued. “VEN-U also monitors key asset use and availability as well as status and functionality. The system works and reports 24/7 which provides management of any issues at any time.”

Scalable technologies employed by VEN-U include Bluetooth beacons, wireless sensors, mobile applications and customizable dashboards to remotely analyze in-depth, real-time data. The company says VEN-U's solutions can reduce operational costs, increase revenues and help businesses extend their brand to lift the guest experience for better engagement.

"We saw the opportunity in the market to develop technology that is seamless and easy to use but provides immediate and long-term ROI for operations management," Weber added.
