STICS

STICS is a project in which Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) data is harnessed to create clinically validated Space-Time Indices for Clinical Support (STICS) for a variety of common patterns of behaviour exhibited by people who live in long-term care (LTC). Space-Time refers to the kind of data we are working with (the location of residents in space and over time). Algorithms will transform this RTLS data into Indices to help health care professionals make decisions about resident care... Using location data to improve care for residents in long-term care.

They can also be used to design and evaluate the physical and social environment to promote a more holistic approach to well-being in LTC residents.
