By harnessing the capabilities of Google Maps, Cartogram provides patients with start-to-finish wayfinding, streamlining the patient experience and reducing stress. This blog post introduces the Epic MyChart integration with Cartogram Wayfinding, highlighting its benefits, software requirements, and implementation process.

Cartogram’s Wayfinding Solution

Cartogram Wayfinding is an innovative solution that empowers patients to navigate complex healthcare facilities effortlessly. Whether indoors or outdoors, patients can rely on the power of Google Maps to receive easy-to-follow directions from their homes to their appointments and everything in between. Cartogram ensures a cohesive and efficient patient journey by integrating seamlessly with Epic MyChart, the leading patient portal in the healthcare industry.

Software and Licensing Requirements

When you enter a hospital with the Cartogram-enabled app on your smartphone, either as a standalone app or by integrating our SDK into your app, our BLE-enabled technology springs into action. The app scans for nearby BLE beacons, which serve as fixed reference points within the indoor space. By detecting the unique signals from multiple beacons, our app triangulates your position with precision, providing real-time navigation to guide you on your journey.
