The trevii platform is an innovative real-time location and data analytics solution for medical equipment, designed to address a critical challenge facing hospitals worldwide: studies show that hospitals typically use less than half of their medical assets at any given time while holding approximately three times the inventory they need.
Its implementation at St. Joe’s follows a one-year pilot deployment that achieved a 100 percent reconciliation rate for tracked assets and 98 percent accuracy in identifying their location at the floor level.
“Technology Trace came to us with an innovative idea for solving a real problem in hospitals,” said Wilson Chiu, President of Kingstec Technologies. “Working closely with their team, we helped refine the design, manufacture validation units, and scale production to meet the demands of hospital deployment. Seeing those efforts validated at St. Joseph’s, with the potential for $76 million in annual savings across Ontario hospitals, shows what’s possible when engineering and manufacturing expertise supports strong innovation.”
The trevii platform functions like a “find my phone” app for specialized medical equipment, enabling St. Joe’s staff to locate critical assets such as pressure-reducing mattresses and IV poles in real time. This reduces time spent searching for equipment, helping minimize patient wait times and improve overall hospital efficiency.
As Technology Trace Inc.’s strategic manufacturing partner, Kingstec provided turnkey assembly of the trevii tracking devices, manufacturing the plastic enclosures and printed circuit board assemblies. The company reviewed the device design and recommended modifications to ensure manufacturability, then produced validation units that enabled Technology Trace to complete the field testing and lab certifications required for hospital deployment.
Building on these results, Technology Trace Inc. plans to expand trevii adoption across additional hospitals in Ontario.
