Presence & Proximity Sensing

Proximity Sensors and Systems for Healthcare – Australia

In the wake of COVID-19, proximity sensing has become an essential “contact tracing” tool for many healthcare providers in Australia. Proximity sensing – sometimes referred to as “presence” or wander management – enables a healthcare facility to monitor the physical movements of its staff and patients. Proximity sensors and systems in Australia are usually powered by RFID and/or Bluetooth.


Health ID provides Australian healthcare providers with a wide range of quality proximity sensing solutions. As a Zebra Healthcare Specialist, we use the latest RTLS / RFID technologies from Zebra – a “Leader” in Indoor Location Services, Global (Gartner Magic Quadrant, 2020). Whether you’re seeking a complete system or particular proximity sensors in Australia, Health ID can assist.


Benefits of proximity sensing


Proximity sensors and systems provide Australian healthcare providers with several major benefits.


  • Patients with an infectious disease, such as COVID-19, can be tracked with greater accuracy – improving public safety.
  • Staff can be monitored to ensure that social distancing rules are being followed, and Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) obligations are being met.
  • Patients with a tendency to wander can be more easily supervised.
  • Staff with specific handheld computers, such as the Zebra TC52-HC, can be proactively alerted to workplace risks.
  • Shift workers are less likely to be assigned a non-sanitised device (sanitisation workflow enforcement).


Zebra has developed proximity sensing solutions to the point where a cloud-based tracing and analytics solution is now available (Zebra Motionworks Proximity).
