HealthTech Sensors

Fall Alert Detection Sensors

GT Global Services is North American distributor and installer for early fall detection sensors. These devices offer significant benefits for both elderly individuals and their caregivers, enhancing safety, promoting independence, and reducing healthcare costs.  These in room sensors are typically deployed in Long Term Care Facilities.

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults. Early fall detection sensors can quickly identify when a fall has occurred and immediately alert caregivers, family members, or emergency services. This rapid response can drastically reduce the time it takes to provide assistance, minimizing the risk of complications such as prolonged immobility or severe injuries. In critical situations, such as head trauma or fractures, timely intervention can be lifesaving.

By reducing the fear of falling and ensuring timely assistance, early fall detection sensors contribute to the overall well-being of older adults. Knowing that help is just a moment away can alleviate anxiety, improve mental health, and encourage more physical activity, which is crucial for maintaining strength and balance.

Early fall detection sensors are a powerful tool in the HealthTech and AgeTech landscape, offering a wide range of benefits from enhancing safety and promoting independence to reducing healthcare costs and supporting caregivers. As technology continues to advance, these sensors will play an increasingly vital role in improving the quality of life for older adults and ensuring that they receive the care they need when it matters most.

Biometric Sensors – Medical and Long Term Care Facilities

The ability to monitor vital signs continuously and accurately is transforming the way we manage health and wellness. Among the most critical metrics are respiratory and heart rate, which provide essential insights into a person’s overall health. Respiratory and heart rate biometrics monitoring technologies are now at the forefront of HealthTech, offering a range of benefits that empower individuals and healthcare providers alike. Offering 24x7x 365 continuous monitoring.

With the rise of telehealth, the ability to monitor respiratory and heart rates remotely is more valuable than ever.  This remote monitoring reduces the need for frequent in-person visits, making healthcare more accessible, especially for those in remote areas or with mobility challenges. It also enables continuous care, ensuring that health issues are addressed promptly and reducing the load on healthcare staff.

Managed Services Smart Buildings

What is an intelligent management system?

Have a Smart Building?  We can manage all of your systems with monitoring, maintenance and reporting all from a single pane of glass.

An intelligent management system is a central point of control for the many disparate elements of a smart facility. Modern buildings comprise a complex network of systems, all of which need to be controlled by a facilities manager. Traditionally, that’s security, HVAC, electrical power, lighting, and building access — but as structures continue to modernize, the number of systems that need to be managed continues to grow. Modern basics like internet access, Wi-Fi coverage, and entertainment systems all need to be included, too.

Rather than handling all of these settings individually, a building management system puts them all in one place. An intelligent building management system (IBMS) meshes them into the IoT, combining disparate smart platforms into one controller. An IBMS can grow with new and expanding technology — so you can add tools like smart data sensors, IoT-connected office appliances, and video conferencing, but still control all of them from that central platform.

Common elements that are controlled within a Smart Building are

• Temperature
• Occupancy Detection
• Image Sensors
• HVAC
• Lighting

IoT Connectivity

IoT connectivity is a term defining connection between all the points in the IoT ecosystem, such as sensors, gateways, routers, applications, platforms and other systems. It usually refers to different types of network solutions based on their power consumption, range and bandwidth consumption.

Our team of Solutions Architects and technicians will ensure that your system is designed and optimized to provide the ultimate performance.  We can provide various types of connectivity depending on your needs.

1. Ethernet

The Ethernet system is mostly used in organizations, buildings, offices, and many other places. The Ethernet combines several nodes to a similar network.  Ethernet is mostly preferred when there is a requirement of connecting ten to twenty systems in one room. The range is very short for the Ethernet system and may not be the optimal solution for certain structures.

2. Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is another wireless system that is used for providing internet services to devices. With Wi-Fi hard wiring the system is not necessary and communication is done wirelessly.  Wi-Fi technology is significantly faster than Ethernet.

3. LPWAN

 Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN’s) are used to connect all types of IoT sensors.  This connectivity is ideal for sending small blocks of data at low rates.

4. Cellular

This is one of the most prevalent means of connectivity.  An example of an IoT cellular network can be LTE. As the world is heading towards 5G technology, IoT technology will evolve very fast. The cellular network is a type of communication network in which the final link is always wireless as the customer phone is connected with the network.

5. Satellite

Usually used to cover desolate areas. The satellite system is used for IoT applications like shipping logistics. The satellite provides signals to ship to navigate in the sea. The satellite system is not accessible for a normal person as the system is very costly and is typically used for special types of IoT tracking.

6. Bluetooth

Bluetooth is another type of wireless medium that has a very small range of around 100 meters. The Bluetooth is used in connecting phones with laptops or with speakers and other devices. The power consumption for Bluetooth technology is significantly less compared to other systems. As the technology is evolving daily the range of Bluetooth is increasing and will likely be used more frequently in the future.

Asset Tracking & Fleet Management

Asset management software is an end-to-end solution for asset and fleet management, providing a service platform that enables global connectivity between the company and its assets.

How Does Asset Tracking Software Work?

An asset tracking software helps managers and supervisors keep track of shipments as they are delivered via different means of transport.

Such software works with the best of technologies, including IoT (Internet of Things), GPS (Global Positioning System), and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). It makes use of barcodes, quick response codes, radio-frequency identification, or near-field communication to track deployed assets.

Here is more about the tracking technologies used in asset management software:

GPS Asset Tracking

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a simple tracking tool that lets you keep an eye on your assets using a smartphone or computer. A plus point of GPS tracking systems is that they are user friendly and mostly come with a free downloadable application.

IoT Asset Tracking

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology used in tracking systems. It is cost-effective and provides the user with a real-time data retrieving system. It lets you know the exact location of your assets with the help of sensors affixed on them.

BLE Asset Tracking

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless personal area network technology which is designed to provide a smart asset tracking system with reduced costs and improved power efficiency.

The Benefits of Using Asset Tracking Software

Some of the key benefits of using asset tracking software in the transport industry have been discussed below:

Real-Time Asset Tracking

Real-time asset tracking has become a choice of need. It has made inefficient tracking and cumbersome management systems a thing of the past.

The software is crucial for efficient data management and works by giving real-time notifications. Additionally, it comes with multi-user collaboration, further saving on time and costs involved.

Reduced Labour Waste

Asset tracking software makes use of tags, barcodes or QR codes to track your asset’s location. These can further be automatically scanned through different stages of the shipment delivery process without needing someone to be physically present. This makes it a cost-effective option as it helps in eliminating extra labour.

Enhance Productivity

The tracking system is used to track every asset, especially vehicles, regardless of whether they are being used. This helps identify less productive assets or those that are not being used but are eating up your money. Such assets hamper your company’s productivity and should be removed from the system.

Theft Prevention

Theft is sometimes unavoidable and all you can do is use a tracking system that will help track your assets throughout the supply chain to ensure their safety.

The transport industry is one of the biggest industries that deal with a huge number of assets, including shipments, vehicles, etc. Keeping a track of all assets is humanly impossible and that is why you need a smart asset management system for enhanced productivity and growth.
