A Wi-Fi Based Indoor Positioning System for Hospitals using Fingerprinting

2020 International journal of recent technology and engineering  
How to ensure an efficient medical personnel and equipment management within a hospital and help patients specially in emergency medical conditions. This paper presents a Wi-Fi based indoor positioning system for hospitals. It firstly presents the proposed indoor positioning procedure, analyses the advantages of Wi-Fi compared to the common positioning technologies; then designs the server-based indoor positioning system for hospitals. Finally, fingerprinting algorithm is used to position in
