Nav Wireless announces the development of a Li-Fi tech-based communication facility at Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education & Research
Nav Wireless Technology Ltd
Nav Wireless Technology, an R&D initiative in wireless technologies, is currently developing a Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) technology-based communication facility at SMIMER (Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education & Research). The company has extended its expertise to provide faster and safer light-based communication for COVID-19 patients and all the medical professionals.
In regards to COVID 19 cases, SMIMER developed isolation wards in a very short amount of time. Nav Wireless Technology stated:
“We are the only company in Asia in the Li-Fi sector to receive the first commercial Li-Fi project for the healthcare sector. We will set up around 600 such units there which are completely MADE IN INDIA. All the formalities related to this initiative have been completed with respective authority and we will start the commencement of the installation process very shortly", said Hardik Soni, co-founder & CTO, Nav Wireless Technology.
Constant monitoring of the patient's health condition in the hospital is either manual or wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi)-based system in the ICU. The Wi-Fi-based system becomes slow in speed due to exponentially increased scalability. In this scenario, Li-Fi finds the places wherever Wi-Fi is applicable with additional features of a high-speed data network. Apart from the speed factor, Li-Fi is a more suitable in-hospital application for monitoring the patient's conditions without frequency interference with the human body.
"We saw the live demonstration for monitoring the patient’s conditions such as SPO2, ECG, HR, NIBP using respective sensors integrated with these Li-Fi Transceivers. The data was processed with LiFi transceivers and sent to display unit in the form of graphs, charts, or in required formats that is helpful for the medical teams during the treatment of COVID-19 cases”, said Dr. V S Srivastav, Professor, and Head, Department of Medicine, SMIMER.
With this, all the patients and medical staff for more than 1,000 beds isolation wards will be able to use a radiation-free communication network, connected to hospital instruments such as ventilators data, etc. Furthermore, they will access the internet with a lighting speed compared to existing Wi-Fi internet.
"The Transceiver's network in the hospital for monitoring the patient's conditions such as temperature, pressure, heartbeat, glucose level, and respiratory conditions using respective sensors integrated with our LiFi Transceivers. NavTech LiFi Transceiver developed to increase data security, high capacity, and high speed, eco friendly, and with patient safety," said Soni.
Li-Fi is a mobile wireless technology that uses light rather than radio frequencies to transmit data. In India, Nav Wireless is the only player working on Li-Fi in this segment. The company has successfully installed such a Li-Fi technology-based communication facility for various government institutions and private premises. With LiFi technology-based solutions, Doctors and Hospital Staff are minimized to the risk of spreading coronavirus disease and at the same time provide a live health data monitoring system.
