What is Sofia™?

Sofia™ is AiRISTA’s RTLS (Real-Time Location System) platform, offering intelligent tracking, monitoring, and analytics for assets, employees, and workflows. Using Wi-Fi and BLE tags, it provides real-time insights across your existing Wi-Fi infrastructure—enabling organizations to optimize operations, enhance security, and reduce downtime. In Sofia, users can view live map displays of assets and personnel, define rules, generate reports, and integrate with other platforms.

Challenges

Healthcare providers are under pressure: rising costs are colliding with declining reimbursements. As reimbursement models increasingly focus on treatment quality and patient satisfaction, a seamless patient experience is becoming a decisive factor—for efficiency as well as for better outcomes. This requires precise coordination of resources across the entire care continuum to ensure consistently high-quality care.

Solutions

The Sofia™ platform consists of modules that, when used together, enable well-designed, context-sensitive coordination of resources:

Real-time tracking

Reduce losses, ensure timely maintenance, and optimize asset utilization—to lower costs and improve equipment availability in patient care.

Employee safety monitoring

Use emergency buttons or badges to discreetly trigger alarms when employees are in danger or need urgent assistance. This allows security personnel to quickly locate and assist the person in need.

Patient flow management

Track patient movements throughout the facility to manage workflows more efficiently. By monitoring wait times, optimizing bed occupancy, and ensuring timely transfers, overall throughput can be improved.

Seamless integration

Integrate quickly and easily with various Wi-Fi infrastructure vendors, such as Cisco, HPE Aruba, Juniper, and others. Interoperable with electronic health records (EHR) and hospital information systems (HIS) to streamline workflows and provide data analytics for greater efficiency and improved patient care.

Here's how it works

Sofia™ offers a seamless, intelligent tracking solution: tags for patients, staff, and devices, as well as secure beacons in monitored areas such as waiting rooms and patient rooms. These beacons send real-time location data, including timestamps, to a cloud-based portal—providing full transparency into movements, dwell times, and the efficiency of workflows.

Automated alerts notify staff of peak volumes, delays, and equipment shortages—enabling a quick response. Interactive dashboards and reports, available across all devices, help identify bottlenecks, track improvements, and continuously optimize processes. Thanks to bidirectional cloud communication, custom notifications—such as reminders or alerts for patients—can be sent to tags. Users can also trigger workflows in real time using the button on the tag.

Local processing ensures added reliability—this way, functionality remains uninterrupted even during internet outages

Vision

AiRISTA - Vision Software Preview

AiRISTA HVS Vision is the web-based graphical user interface and central management tool for the AiRISTA real-time tracking system RTLS. The integrated dashboard offers an intuitive view of the tracked objects, their assignment to the end devices (tags) and their battery status. With interactive map view, the locations of individual objects can be clearly displayed and analyzed in real tim and historically, even for large installations. Real-time tracking allows events triggered by the tracked objects and sensors to be recorded and reported. Depending on the event, Vision signals and alerts users or emergency services via text message, email, ESPA or relay contacts.

Optional extensions
via the AiRISTA interfaces

ESPA connection alarm server (ERA interface) | The “ESPA RTLS Adapter” can be used wherever call systems, alarm servers or logistics systems communicate via the ESPA standard: Alarms are transmitted to the RTLS system via the ERA interface or, conversely, alarms from the RTLS system are transmitted to an alarm server.

Integration

The ability to adapt RTLS from AiRISTA to the specific business requirements of companies thanks to the integration of application programming interfaces (APIs) makes this system particularly interesting. With access to the RTLS programming interfaces, developers can quickly integrate RTLS into other systems, which means significant added value.

Here's what we do for you

Ekahau Site Survey

Before installing an RTLS system, we measure, analyze and optimize the existing Wi-Fi architecture - or plan it from scratch if necessary. This is followed by a comprehensive needs analysis and capacity planning of all hardware components (access points, RTLS tags and accessories, etc.) in order to meet the requirements for an optimally functioning RTLS application. Upon request, we can deliver all components fully configured.

Installation & System Expansion

Whether it's a new installation or a system expansion - we are the reliable partner at your side and will adapt the RTLS application optimally to your environment and your individual requirements.

Trainings and Workshops

We offer targeted trainings for IT administrators and make them fit to manage the RTLS solution. If required, we can also train users for everyday use.
