CLARA directly benefits a broad audience within hospitals, beginning with frontline clinical staff, whose real-time access to precise location data through the CLARA app improves response times and supports critical care workflows. By seamlessly integrating into clinician routines, CLARA enhances staff efficiency and empowers frontline teams to deliver safer, faster care.
As the target customer, health systems gain crucial insights through the BARTON app, a desktop interface that translates location and time data into actionable metrics for high-impact process improvements. Administrators can pinpoint inefficiencies and identify cost-saving opportunities that have a potential to return $6M annually within a single high-cost department.
Patients and visitors also benefit from CLARA’s wayfinding capabilities, which will launch in later phases, guiding them through the hospital with ease. This navigation support ensures a more comfortable experience, from finding the correct room to locating amenities like the café.
Ultimately, CLARA supports anyone involved in the continuum of care. Whether in a life-saving code response or a routine hospital visit, CLARA’s infrastructure makes hospitals safer, more efficient, and less stressful for patients, families, and staff. By reducing costly care delays and enhancing the overall care environment, CLARA offers healthcare systems a valuable solution for both immediate risk mitigation and long-term operational gains.
CLARA is more than a technology—it’s a foundational infrastructure platform, a digital fabric tailored specifically for clinical environments to optimize how hospitals operate within physical space. Designed to touch every facet of healthcare, CLARA’s impact is anticipated to rival or even surpass that of electronic medical records, with core improvements in safety, cost accounting, and efficiency.
Safety is CLARA’s foremost priority, embedded in its closed-loop event response system. By transforming traditional overhead “code-call” systems into ordered processes, CLARA ensures that the right teams and equipment reach patients during critical events, reducing risk and improving patient outcomes.
Cost savings are driven by the BARTON app, which uses time-based value-stream accounting to track the real-time use of equipment and staff. This unique capability allows hospitals to perform precise financial planning, optimize workforce deployment, and improve facility design based on accurate, actionable data.
Efficiency is the natural result when CLARA’s platform is fully integrated. Real-time knowledge enables just-in-time training, automated documentation, and active turn-by-turn navigation, ensuring staff can locate essential equipment and resources swiftly. The platform’s continuous data stream generates insights that act as a “flywheel” for ongoing health system intelligence, enhancing work satisfaction and patient care.
