Wavelink and Kontakt.io have announced a new distribution agreement to help healthcare organisations optimise their operations and deliver patient-centric care. 

This strategic partnership enables Wavelink to expand its Connected Health portfolio and offer its partners and healthcare customers an even greater range of innovative solutions.  

Kontakt.io offers a complete solution encompassing Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as sensors, tags, gateways, cloud computing and analytics, and enterprise apps. 

By leveraging IoT and artificial intelligence (AI), Kontakt.io is impacting the healthcare industry with its innovative approach to inpatient journey analytics, going beyond real-time locating systems (RTLS). 

With a wide range of use cases, including asset tracking, bed management, staff safety, patient flow analysis, and indoor navigation, Kontakt.io’s solution is designed to optimise healthcare workflows and improve patient outcomes. 

Integrating Kontakt.io’s advanced technologies into Wavelink’s comprehensive health solutions portfolio adds tremendous value to its Connected Health business unit. Healthcare organisations can now gain insights into how patients move through the care delivery process. 

Kontakt.io’s platform is also designed to seamlessly integrate with existing Wi-Fi networks, eliminating the need for cabling or rewiring and offering IT-friendly compatibility with leading providers such as Cisco and Juniper Networks. This flexibility lets customers start small and scale as needed without being locked into proprietary technologies. 

Wavelink specialises in providing innovative enterprise solutions to the channel. Wavelink distributes a range of products from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Fortinet, Imprivata, Mobicall, Olinqua, SOTI, Scandit, Spectralink, and Vocera. 

Ilan Rubin, Chief Executive Officer of Wavelink, expresses his excitement about collaborating with Kontakt.io: “Wavelink is thrilled to partner with Kontakt.io and believes that this collaboration will revolutionise the way healthcare organisations optimise their operations and deliver patient-centric care.”

“By incorporating Kontakt.io’s innovative solutions into its extensive portfolio, Wavelink’s Connected Health business unit continues to solidify its position as a leader in the delivery of connected healthcare technologies,” says Rubin. 

Philipp von Gilsa, the Chief Executive Officer of Kontakt.io, believes that the digital transformation of care operations and the inpatient journey represents the next frontier in the healthcare industry. According to him, this transformation has the potential to create a significant impact on health systems and patient outcomes.

Philipp von Gilsa says: “The digital transformation of care operations and inpatient journey is the next frontier with tremendous potential to impact health systems and patient outcomes.” 

“Kontakt.io is excited to bring inpatient journey analytic solutions to Wavelink’s Connected Health portfolio. Together, Kontakt.io and Wavelink can leverage the power of AI, IoT, and RTLS to help health systems uncover waste, streamline capacity, and transform experiences,” says Gilsa.
