Posted by Johann Nacario — September 16, 2024 — In a groundbreaking partnership, medical software and mobile medical equipment (MME) company TAGCarts has joined forces with Inpro, a global provider of interior protection, to introduce the TAG-X Smart Rail. This state-of-the-art wireless, contactless charging device is designed to seamlessly integrate with TAGCarts’ ecosystem of MME and software. The innovative TAG-X Smart Rail promises to enhance healthcare efficiency, optimize battery health, and improve staff mobility and safety.
TAG-X Smart Rail
Revolutionizing healthcare with wireless charging
The TAG-X Smart Rail combines patented TAGCarts technology with a durable Inpro wall guard, offering wireless charging for all medical carts and mobile medical equipment, regardless of battery size or chemistry type. This innovative product eliminates the need for hazardous cords and costly swappable battery systems currently in use. By utilizing existing infrastructure in healthcare facilities, such as bed guards, handrails and wall protection, the TAG-X Smart Rail ensures a seamless addition to any environment.
Taggart Neal, CEO and founder of TAGCarts, explained:
I was tired of seeing nurses and healthcare professionals struggle with problems that seemed to be ignored. Partnering with Inpro was a natural choice given their reputation and expertise in the healthcare industry. Our collaboration aims to tackle these challenges head-on and make a significant impact on the lives of healthcare workers and their patients.
Key benefits and features:
- Enhanced efficiency: Streamlines medical workflows and enhances patient care.
- Optimized battery health: Extends the lifespan and reliability of mobile medical equipment.
- Improved mobility and safety: Eliminates hazardous cords, reducing risks of trips and falls.
- Seamless integration: Utilizes existing healthcare facility infrastructure.
- Touch-free charging: Effortless, contactless charging for all medical carts and equipment.
Matt Bennett, vice president of Product Development and Technical Services at Inpro, echoed Neal’s sentiments:
TAGCarts has identified a critical issue that has been overlooked for too long. At Inpro, our mission has always been to make a difference in the lives of the occupants in the buildings we help protect. Partnering with TAGCarts aligns perfectly with our goal of driving meaningful change in the healthcare sector. We are proud to bring this innovative solution to the market and look forward to the positive impact it will have on healthcare professionals.
The simplicity of the TAG-X Smart Rail is what makes it brilliant, say the companies. Healthcare professionals can effortlessly roll their carts or equipment near the rail, where the “X” marks the spot for efficient, touch-free charging.
Successful test pilot and future plans
The innovation is already gaining traction, with hospitals eager to retrofit their existing rails and incorporate this advanced technology. The first hospital test pilot was launched in New Mexico in August 2023, and the data recovered thus far highlights “Touch Points Prevented” as a key performance indicator. Infection prevention is driving the reduction of touch points, cross-contamination, and patient readmissions. TAGCarts and Inpro are gearing up for more test pilots in 2024, in conjunction with WiBotic and Capsa Healthcare.
