Healthcare's Advanced Automated Contact Tracing Solution
CenTrak's advanced automated contact tracing solution enables healthcare facilities to rapidly and accurately identify equipment, patients, and staff exposed to infectious diseases through clinical-grade location tracking and seamless data collection, facilitating targeted containment measures, informed risk assessments, and integration with existing healthcare IT systems to reduce infection spread, improve patient and staff confidence, and minimize operational disruptions.
Limit the Spread of Infectious Disease with Automated Contact Tracing
Quickly identifying equipment and individuals in close contact with communicable diseases allows healthcare facilities to effectively contain the spread of infection without shutting down entire buildings or floors.
Eliminate the Guesswork of Manual Contact Tracing
Exposure rates increase exponentially while staff spend precious time conducting interviews or reviewing manual logs. Self-reported data that relies on memory is typically error-prone and cannot adequately document all recent interactions.
Create and Review a Contagion Report Within Seconds
Conduct more informed risk assessments and implement appropriate testing and quarantine protocols that won’t significantly impact resource availability or patient care. Isolating equipment used on infected individuals and knowing which rooms are contaminated enables targeted cleaning procedures that limit infection spread.
During a measles outbreak, we were able to quickly implement an effective communications strategy to those at risk.

RTLS Designed for Optimal Performance
Based on your unique environment, CenTrak helps you choose the most appropriate technology (Gen2IR, UHF, Wi-Fi, BLE, LF) and software configurations for your desired outcomes. Consulting and managed services programs are available to prescribe optimal workflow design and assist with ongoing maintenance activities.
Live Map Playback
Review a live playback of movement within an area throughout a certain time period. Event responses, movement patterns, and times in specific rooms can be recreated. Users are able to speed up or slow down the replay like an at-home DVR.
Automated Contact Tracing Reports
CenTrak's contact tracing reports display the movements of staff, patients, and tagged equipment. Filter by location, timeframe, or individuals. The “others here” feature displays everyone who has entered that same room. Administrators can filter through each patient to see which rooms they went into and whom they interacted with. Data includes the exact length of time spent in the respective areas to calculate exposure. This information can be easily exported for detailed inspection and analysis.
Purpose-Built RTLS Badges for Healthcare
CenTrak offers a large selection of RTLS wearable devices including single-use patient tags, reusable staff badges, the smallest asset tags on the market, and devices designed for specialty use cases such as medical scope management.

Location Technology: How It Works
For room, sub-room, and bay-level locating, CenTrak devices utilize patented Second Generation Infrared (Gen2IR) technology. Battery-powered Monitors and Virtual Walls transmit a unique location ID, which is received by any tag in that location—no line-of-sight required. The tag communicates its location ID via radio frequency (RF) to the CenTrak Server, where it can be streamed in real-time to the software application for actionable intelligence.
