The company’s mantra is to improve the processes within hospital facilities by using RFID, and create an IoT ecosystem which would connect all the players in this arena. Additionally, the firm’s server is located on the cloud which acts like a bridge to connect hospitals and vendors, physicians and clinics. This alliance generates data on patients, medical staff, and hospital equipments. “By using RFID with IoT technology, our system gathers the information about shelf life and inventories, and tracks the implants, while notifying the vendor who replenishes the supplies. It also helps reduce device downtime through remote monitoring and efficient scheduling—by leveraging machine utilization—to serve more patients,” stresses Matiyahu. LogiTag’s inventory management system not only tracks, but also automatically updates the database regarding the items that have been shipped or arrived. Hence, users receive the relevant information automatically on mobile devices, ultimately eliminating the need of trunk stocks.
Depicting a case study, the New York Hospital Queens’ radiology unit had difficulty while accessing the inventory, and often found expired stocks at hand. The chief reason was their decrepit inventory management system, which relied solely on manual counting.

The hospital turned to LogiTag’s RFID solutions to automate their inventory management system. The installation of SmartCabinet and StockBox solutions in the hospital’s interventional radiology unit tracked high value and sensitive items, and consumables used during surgical procedures. “It allowed staff members to remove implants or other necessary items from a locked cabinet, while keeping a digital record of the items moved and removed,” says Matityahu. By implementing LogiTag’s RFID solution, the hospital reduced its inventory size, eliminated expired items, saved nurse time, and also gained real-time reports for a better healthcare management. “Understanding effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare systems is crucial when aspiring to create a dynamic healthcare system. We do not let the user find information from system, we push it,” says Matiyahu.
The idea of revamping the typical solution of improving processes within hospitals spurred seven years ago, and LogiTag plans to revolutionize it with the use of RFID in the cloud. Foreseeing the great benefits of IoT, and healthcare being the main focus, the company also intends to expand its technology implementation across other industries.
IoT has brought immense possibilities to make use of devices, middleware, and healthcare management solutions to improve patient care. “Such technologies allow healthcare service providers to reach newer markets and people, and also enable better quality of interaction with their existing stakeholders,” concludes Matiyahu.
