Wander Management Solution
Help protect vulnerable patients while respecting their independence with a purpose-built RTLS solution for wander management.
Healthcare organizations care for a growing population of at-risk patients, including behavioral health conditions or cognitive impairment. These individuals may wander unintentionally, placing themselves at risk of falls, entering restricted areas or leaving secure units.
Protecting patient safety while preserving dignity and mobility is a daily challenge for care teams.
The challenge is not a lack of care. It is a lack of real-time visibility and where purpose‑built, real‑time RTLS solutions make a measurable difference in patient safety.
Protect Vulnerable Patients
HID’s Wander Management solution combines discreet RTLS tags with the AllGuard® RTLS software platform to help protect patients who are prone to wandering while supporting independence and dignity.

Behavioral Health
Patients in behavioural health environments may experience confusion, distress or impulsive behaviour that leads them to leave secure areas or enter unsafe zones.
RTLS helps staff maintain a safe therapeutic environment through real-time alerts when patients approach exits or restricted areas. Automated controls can support faster intervention while reducing reliance on restrictive measures.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s Patients
Patients living with dementia or Alzheimer’s are at higher risk of wandering due to memory loss, confusion or disorientation.
RTLS continuously monitors movement and alerts staff when patients approach boundaries or exits. It can also trigger preventive actions such as door controls, helping reduce elopement risk while allowing freedom of movement within safe areas.
