As healthcare estates grow in complexity and care increasingly extends beyond the hospital setting, the need for more flexible, intelligent asset tracking is clearer than ever. From misplaced syringe pumps and missed maintenance windows to rising rental costs, inefficient asset management continues to challenge clinical safety, operational performance, and NHS budgets.
At EBME Expo 2025, Idox will be unveiling its latest innovation: hybrid tracking capability within the established iAssets platform. Already trusted by healthcare providers across the UK, iAssets now supports a unique blend of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, and GPS technologies, enabling real-time location tracking of critical medical devices, whether inside a hospital ward or deployed in the community.
iAssets: built for healthcare, now even more flexible
Designed specifically for healthcare, iAssets has been helping NHS Trusts and community providers gain greater visibility over their physical assets. With the new hybrid tracking enhancement, the platform can now adapt to any care environment, from acute settings and outpatient clinics to care homes and mobile teams.
The solution leverages existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to minimise disruption and offers a pay-as-you-grow model, making it cost-effective to scale across departments, sites, or Integrated Care Systems (ICS).
Real-world innovation: BodyGuard T Tracking
In its latest customer win, Idox has deployed iAssets to track BodyGuard T syringe drivers, highly mobile and clinically critical devices used in both hospital and community care settings.
In this innovative use case, tracking tags are attached directly to the device, not the lockbox, enabling real-time visibility of the syringe drivers across diverse environments. This approach improves traceability, reduces device loss, and supports stronger clinical accountability for portable equipment beyond traditional infrastructure zones.
Delivering measurable impact for healthcare teams
Healthcare providers using iAssets are already seeing tangible outcomes:
- Up to 83 hours of clinical time saved per day through reduced search time
- £250,000+ in potential annual savings per Trust via smarter procurement and fewer rentals
- Up to 20% improvement in medical device availability
- Alignment with GS1, Scan4Safety, and DCB0129 standards for compliance and governance
For EBME teams, iAssets supports smarter maintenance scheduling, improved Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) tracking, and easier asset recall management — all without the need for multiple platforms or siloed systems.
