The National Institutes of Health has selected Connexient's MediNav digital wayfinding and patient experience solution for its Clinical Center Complex on the NIH Campus in Bethesda, Maryland, Connexient CEO Mark Green announced today.

The Center consists of 3.5 million square feet of mixed occupancy space in three congruent buildings on the NIH campus and is comprised of a clinical, laboratory, and administrative space with 240 inpatient beds, 82 day-hospital stations and 15 outpatient clinics and more than 5,000 rooms.

MediNav features a native application for iPhone and Android smartphones, which provides patients and visitors with indoor maps, turn-by-turn directions, physician lookups and location-based content. This is complemented by an all-screens Digital Wayfinding solution for arriving visitors and patients encompassing Web, mobile Web, kiosks and digital signage, according to the announcement.

"We are honored and excited to be selected by the National Institutes of Health for this important project," Green said in the announcement. "This will be the largest deployment of indoor navigation and enterprise location-based services to date for Connexient — and to our knowledge at any site in the United States. The NIH has a clear vision to leverage our capabilities to not only solve immediate patient and visitor experience pain points, but push forward on addressing a broad range of challenges in enterprise operations."
