## Summary

Adrian Jennings, Chief Product Officer at Cognosos, explains how the company uses AI to transform cheap Bluetooth sensors into high-accuracy tracking solutions for healthcare and logistics. He details the shift from expensive, infrastructure-heavy technologies like Ultra-Wideband (UWB) to a cloud-based AI approach that classifies location based on complex RF environments. Jennings highlights key use cases including proactive asset management, workflow optimization, and staff safety, noting that hospitals are now adopting these solutions due to financial pressures and rising workplace violence. The conversation emphasizes that AI allows low-cost sensors to achieve performance parity with expensive systems, enabling full-coverage deployment across entire hospital campuses and home care settings.
