Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon Is an Advanced Technological Innovation That Helps To Connect Devices in Its Vicinity and Track the Activities of Patients

Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacon are abundantly used in regions such as Germany, Mexico and Japan, among others. Bluetooth low energy beacon is a small wireless technology that supports low power consumption and Bluetooth low energy communication. This low power radio technology offers a cost-effective alternative to Bluetooth low energy devices with greater range. This technology allows for wireless connectivity using a single device, such as a PDA or smartphone.

Bluetooth low energy beacons are simple hardware transmitters - a new class of Bluetooth low power devices that broadcast their identifying identifier to nearby mobile electronic devices within a relatively short range. The low power technology allows smartphones, PDAs, and other similar portable devices to execute tasks even when close to an active beacon. The transmission range of Bluetooth low energy beacon is generally between thirty to fifty meters, depending on the distance between the transmitter and the receiving smartphone or tablet. As such, they can support various activities such as browsing the web, receiving and sending messages, playing audio music, taking photos, and so forth.

Due to the cost-effectiveness and range of Bluetooth Low Energy beacons, they are rapidly replacing Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Smartphones are the most common users of Bluetooth low energy beacon is an upcoming small form-factor wireless technology that supports low power consumption and Bluetooth low energy communication. This low power radio technology offers a cost-effective alternative to Bluetooth low energy devices with greater range. This technology allows for wireless connectivity using a single device, such as a PDA or smartphone.

Bluetooth low energy beacon is also used in healthcare sectors to monitor patient's health by using the device's tracking capabilities. Using the beacon a patient's activities and movement can be tracked and serves as a good alternative to house camera owing to their level of privacy. Moreover, Bluetooth low energy beacons can be used in hospital workplaces to maintain decorum. Many developed economies such as Germany use advanced technologies and devices when it comes to patient safety. For instance, according to Bundesärztekammer (the German Medical Association), in 2020 there were more than 5.6 million health workers in the region. Approximately 30% of the healthcare expenditure goes to the hospital services and less than 10% of hospital expenditures are targeted towards outpatient care. In Germany, there were approximately 2800 outpatient medical health care units in 2020.
