medical professionals that wireless systems would interfere with hospital systems like telemetry which is<br />
crucial for measuring a patient’s vital signs. These problems have been largely taken care of by newer<br />
systems which use different wireless frequencies. Another driver is the reduced fears among the public &<br />
the industry as a whole about wireless technologies. Great research has been undertaken in this field<br />
which has made all radio frequencies used in wireless healthcare asset management equipment quite<br />
safe. Agencies like the FCC, FDA, EPA and OSHA have also certified the technologies reassuring patients. A<br />
third factor is the patient comfort & convenience. Medical institutions have begun to provide a number<br />
of added facilities & those hospitals which do not might lose their patients to those who do. It is not only<br />
patients but also medical staff who are becoming increasingly dependent on wireless technology. Doctors<br />
& nurses can use hands-free VoFi to stay in continuous contact with the other staff or the main nursing<br />

computer. Doctors could even use their mobile phones to access the office servers or various medical<br />
applications. All of this is anticipated to drive the wireless healthcare asset management market globally.<br />

market. A major one is a high cost involved in installing wireless management systems. While<br />

required funding or government support to do so. <strong>Wireless</strong> systems are usually the first to be sacrificed in<br />
cost-cutting. Another issue is designating responsibility for such equipment. All too often, the<br />
