Connexient, the leader in digital wayfinding for healthcare, is pleased to announce a partnership with Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH). RVH is rolling out Connexient’s indoor mapping and navigation solution to all patients, visitors, and family members in the Spring of 2020.

Connexient’s MediNav™ technology provides an interactive wayfinding solution for hospitals. Popular features include turn-by-turn “blue dot” indoor navigation, seamless transitions from outdoor to indoor and between floors, voice guidance and off-route notifications on routes, searchable directory and directions to all patient services and amenities, and “Meet Me” location sharing between patients and their family members.

“At RVH, patients and their families are at the centre of everything we do and ensuring they have a positive experience in our health centre is a key focus,” says Nancy Cunningham, Interim Director, Informatics & Technology Services Department at RVH. 

“RVH is a very large facility and can be difficult to navigate so implementing Connexient’s innovative, Bluetooth-based indoor positioning and navigation technology will most definitely be a tremendous benefit to the patient and family experience.

RVH, located in Barrie, Ont., provides safe, high-quality care for 450,000 residents across Simcoe County and the District of Muskoka in a 1 million sq. ft facility.  RVH provides highly specialized services and technology not found anywhere else in the region. 

“RVH’s commitment to advanced technology and the patient experience make them an ideal partner for Connexient,” says Connexient CEO and co-founder, Mark Green.
