Pikeville Medical Center Adopts Indoor GPS Technology

NEW YORK, June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Pikeville Medical Center, a 340-bed medical facility located in Pikeville, Kentucky, and Connexient announced plans to deploy Connexient’s MediNav Digital Wayfinding solution to help patients and visitors more easily navigate the hospital.  Pikeville Medical Center is the largest hospital in southeastern Kentucky, which makes Connexient’s wayfinding platform the ideal technology to improve the patient experience and reduce missed and late appointments.   

MediNav provides the most comprehensive outdoor to indoor turn-by-turn digital navigation for hospital patients and visitors.  Anyone coming to Pikeville Medical Center will be able to easily locate their point of care, plan their trip to the hospital, save their car location, seamlessly transition inside the facility, and navigate complex hospital hallways as they make their way to their destination.

“We are excited to partner with Connexient,” said Al Greenfield, Director of Marketing at Pikeville.  “This digital wayfinding technology will help our patients and guests experience a well-orchestrated visit from home to appointment.  MediNav will be available to our patients and visitors starting in Q4 2019.”
