Sarasota Memorial Hospital is renowned for the high-tech robots and medical devices spread across its expansive multi-tower campus. Now, it is the first hospital in the nation to deploy an innovative geomagnetic wayfinding app, powered by the Earth, to help people find their way around its 1.5 million square foot medical grounds. Unlike GPS systems, that rely on satellite signals and do not work indoors, the “SMH Wayfinder” app uses the digital compass and sensors inside smartphones by communicating with the magnetic footprint found inside buildings to help people pinpoint their exact location indoors so users may easily find their way to their destination. The app is available for immediate download from Apple and Android stores.
