Most hospital patients and visitors are used to navigating with GPS on their iPhone or Android device. 67% of smartphone owners use their phones for turn-by-turn navigation while driving (at least occasionally). Unfortunately, these navigation capabilities usually stop at the hospital doors.
With Phunware, navigation is seamless both indoors and out. Patients and visitors can use your hospital mobile app to find their way from any location directly to the correct department, office or pharmacy, arriving relaxed and on time.
Phunware offers both static and dynamic wayfinding. Our creative services team can work with you to create a custom-branded and informative facility map as part of your app.
- With static wayfinding, app users can view the map, points of interest and common routes.
- With dynamic wayfinding, app users can access seamless indoor and outdoor directions in real time, leveraging indoor Wi-Fi, beacons and/or GPS. Users see a blue dot on your branded hospital map indicating their current location and the pathway to their destination. The app provides ongoing updates as users move along.
