Door Sign · FL11

The door sign is an iPad now.

Float turns an 11 inch iPad into the sign outside every patient room. A room plate with raised numerals and braille. A halo that washes the wall in your hospital's color and changes with the room. One PoE cable runs it all.

Read the room from down the hall.

A ring of light behind the sign washes the wall. At rest it carries your hospital's color. When the room needs someone, it changes, with every LED alert our door signs run today. The halo takes its color from the sign, so the hallway sees what the door says.

It is an iPad. Your IT team already knows it.

A door sign should not be one more proprietary panel that only its maker can fix. Float is an iPad your team already buys, secures and manages.

What IT gets

One more iPad on the listEnroll it in your MDM, or in Engine, and lock it to one app.
One PoE drop per doorPower and network for the iPad, and the halo, from any standard PoE port.
Secure connections onlyThe app talks to your on premise HCI ONE server over secure connections.

What the unit gets

The room, on the doorThe same care team, precautions and room state as the whiteboard inside, from the same server.
One scan to set upScan a setup code and the iPad knows its room, its unit and your colors.
