MAPS GROUP ENHANCES ITS PATIENT EXPERIENCE SERVICES WITH THE
INTEGRATION OF WAYFINDING FUNCTIONALITY
Thanks to a comprehensive navigation system, patients will benefit from clear directions, identifying the route to take whether they are inside the facility or in the surrounding areas
Parma, November 6, 2024
Maps S.p.A. (MAPS; IT0005364333), an innovative SME listed on Euronext Growth Milan and active in the digital transformation sector, announces the implementation of the Wayfinding functionality within its solutions dedicated to Patient Experience through the ZeroCoda® platform.
The Wayfinding functionality will allow patients to move with greater autonomy and simplicity, integrating the destination with their appointment to indicate an optimized route that takes individual needs into account. Users will thus be able to select different options: in addition to the "short" route, they will have at their disposal a "health" route that encourages the use of stairs, and an "accessible" route designed for those with reduced mobility.
Furthermore, thanks to "blue-dot navigation" technology, patients will be able to view their real-time position through a simple blue dot on the map. This functionality allows them to receive dynamic turn-by-turn directions, facilitating orientation even in external areas, such as parking lots or public transport stops adjacent to the facility.
Marco Ciscato, Executive Chairman of Maps Group, comments: "With the integration of the Wayfinding functionality, Maps Group strengthens its commitment to innovative, patient-centeredhealthcare, making access to facilities simpler and safer. This intuitive functionality facilitates orientation, reduces anxiety, and improves punctuality for appointments. At the same time, it offers healthcare facilities advanced tools to monitor flows and optimize space management, reducing interruptions in the operational activities of staff and improving overall efficiency".
