People&Technology (PnT), a specialist provider of medical AX/DX-based smart hospital service platforms, announced on the 12th that it has deployed a real-time patient monitoring solution at Muan General Hospital (Hospital Director Bong-gwan Ryu) in Jeollanam-do.
The company explained that this deployment represents a case in which the smart hospital environment — previously concentrated mainly in the greater Seoul metropolitan area — is now expanding to a key regional hospital in Jeollanam-do.
Muan General Hospital serves as a key regional medical institution responsible for meeting the healthcare needs of local residents in Jeollanam-do. Through the adoption of this smart hospital solution, the hospital has strengthened its inpatient safety management and established a foundation for delivering more reliable medical services.
The deployed solution consists of the patch-type wearable ECG device HiCardi, the portable pulse oximeter CHARM II™, and the V3 Gateway, which receives Bluetooth signals and relays data to the server. The system has been installed in Ward 5 and Ward 6 at Muan General Hospital, and patients' biometric data — including ECG, heart rate, and oxygen saturation — is transmitted via the V3 Gateway to People&Technology's smart hospital platform IndoorPlus+ SmartCare for integrated management.
The core differentiator of the real-time patient monitoring solution built on the IndoorPlus+ SmartCare platform is its vendor-neutral platform architecture, which is not tied to any single manufacturer. Beyond simply offering freedom of device selection, it is an operation-centered platform designed so that ward operations and clinical workflows are not constrained by the structure of any particular device — a key distinction from existing wearable-centric solutions. Hospitals can flexibly reconfigure their systems as operating environments change, securing genuine, field-level operational autonomy. This deployment at Muan General Hospital, which integrates HiCardi and CHARM II to manage ECG and pulse-oximetry data on a single platform, demonstrates how the vendor-neutral platform's multi-device integration capability has been realized in an actual hospital setting.
As a result, Muan General Hospital is now able to monitor patients' biometric data in real time around the clock and respond swiftly even in emergency situations, while medical staff can focus more fully on patient care. The case is expected to serve as a practical model for smart hospital deployment at similarly sized regional hospitals going forward.
Seong-pyo Hong, CEO of People&Technology, said, "This deployment at Muan General Hospital is a case that demonstrates a high-quality real-time patient monitoring environment can be realized even at regional medical institutions. We will continue to support more medical institutions, regardless of region or size, in their transition to smart hospitals."
