Phunware’s IH Pavilion to serve as the official wayfinding app of the Intelligent Health™ Pavilion

AUSTIN, TX [February 6, 2017] – In partnership with the Intelligent Health Association, (IHA) the only global, educational, technology focused organization and Phunware, a mobile application lifecycle management platform, announced the IHA’s wayfinding app, IH Pavilion, as the official app for the Intelligent Health Pavilion™ (IHP) at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2017 conference.

To further IHA’s mission of “driving the evolution to the digital healthcare revolution™” with technology, the IHA brings together many global technology providers in its Intelligent Health Pavilion at HIMSS. This will be the seventh and biggest year yet for IHA at HIMSS as the Intelligent Health Pavilion continues to evolve as a main attraction at HIMSS. As one of the largest and most populated sections of HIMSS, IHP will host thousands of medical and health professionals, including C-Suite Executives from some of the nation’s largest hospitals.

HIMSS is the largest health IT educational conference in the US and a prime location for IHA to launch IH Pavilion, in its 20,000-square-foot area. Along with quick and easy mobile wayfinding throughout pavilion, the IH Pavilion app will showcase emerging technology solutions that vendors will be demonstrating at the conference.

Using Bluetooth beacons for location awareness, the IH Pavilion app will guide users throughout the Intelligent Health Pavilion to see and discover live demonstrations of healthcare’s most innovative technologies. Additional features of the app include:

  • Routing to sponsor and vendor kiosks, room tours and theatres
  • Content and directory listing for vendors and solution categories
  • Tap-to-call and tap-to-website for additional information
  • Speaking session and room tour schedules
  • Push notifications and campaigns to signal contests at vendor kiosks

“Like hospital campuses, the busy and unfamiliar environments of large conferences can be difficult for attendees to navigate,” said Robert Tabb, Director of Healthcare at Phunware. “We’re excited to provide healthcare professionals with an easy-to-use app that will help them better discover and enjoy everything that the IHA has to offer.”

Beyond navigation, the IH Pavilion app will give IHA visibility into analytics such as locations users have frequented and their preferences. This data will help IHA enhance the experience and better serve the needs of attendees at this year’s HIMSS event and plan for the 2018 conference.

“HIMSS is one of the top conferences for healthcare professionals. Attendees to the IHP should be able to spend their time learning and interacting—not trying to find their way around the IHP,” said Harry P. Pappas, Founder and CEO of IHA. “Phunware’s proven record of success with wayfinding apps for some of the nation’s largest healthcare and education campuses made them a natural choice for the IHA, and we’re thrilled to launch the IH Pavilion app this year.”

The IH Pavilion app will be available for use on iOS and Android devices via the Apple App Store and Google Play on February 16, 2017.
