Structural master plan

Hospital App for the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein

General conditions

In line with the architectural master plan, we created a system that guides patients and visitors safely to their destination, even amid frequent facility relocations and diversions.

Navigation

– Mobile wayfinding system for patients and visitors of UKSH
– Accessible for people with reduced mobility
– Data maintenance through the backend system
– Corporate identity taken into account
– Seamless transition from outdoor navigation to indoor navigation
– Data protection-compliant navigation

Multimedia

Can be accessed via the smartphone app for iOS and Android
– Can be used via terminals in the entrance areas of the main buildings in Kiel and Lübeck
– Access to the web version by scanning the QR code
– Print version available for indoor navigation

Backend system

– Self-Managed Navigation Data
– Customize route modes for pedestrians, people with limited mobility, cyclists, and drivers
– Block sections of paths that are inaccessible during construction phases. The system automatically calculates an alternative route and validates if it is usable for pedestrians and those with limited mobility
– Plan and manage facility relocations with immediate or scheduled updates to the navigation software’s location data
– Create QR codes with predefined routes that can be embedded into signage, appointment letters, or event flyers

The UKSH app can be downloaded from the iOS and Android app stores. It offers features such as outdoor navigation, indoor navigation, news, events, a phone book, facilities, appointments, and access to the backend system.
