Kontakt.io Introduces Real-Time Temperature Monitoring Solution for Hospitals

Kontakt.io has launched a new solution designed to help hospitals continuously monitor the
temperature and humidity of storage units that house sensitive materials such as vaccines,
medications, and biologics. The technology aims to support safe handling practices, reduce waste,
and ensure regulatory compliance.
Addressing Critical Temperature-Sensitive Storage Needs
In healthcare settings, maintaining specific temperature ranges is essential for the safety and
effectiveness of medications and vaccines. Brief temperature fluctuations can damage the integrity
of these materials, making them unsafe for use.
Kontakt.io’s solution provides continuous, automated monitoring of temperature and humidity in
refrigerators, warmers, and regulated rooms. The system includes:

• Visual temperature indicators for staff
• Probes that transmit data to a cloud-based dashboard
• Real-time alerts for deviations outside acceptable ranges
• Automated reporting capabilities to support audit readiness

The platform also includes NIST-traceable calibration certificates, ensuring compliance with the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidelines, particularly the storage and handling
requirements under the Vaccines for Children program.
Enhancing Oversight and Patient Safety
By delivering 24/7 monitoring and alerts, the system helps hospitals quickly detect and respond to
temperature variations, minimizing the risk of spoilage or loss of high-value materials. This proactive
approach not only helps maintain inventory integrity but also supports patient safety and trust in
treatment protocols.
Rom Eizenberg, Chief Revenue Officer at Kontakt.io, highlighted the operational impact of the
solution:
“With proactive monitoring and real-time alerts, hospitals can significantly reduce risk, minimize
waste, and enhance patient safety, while adhering to regulatory requirements.”
Integration and Operational Efficiency
The new temperature monitoring solution is part of Kontakt.io’s broader Responsive Care
Operations platform, which integrates data from real-time location systems (RTLS) and electronic
health records (EHR). Offered as a managed service, the platform is designed to help healthcare
facilities convert operational data into actionable insights and real-time decision support.
The temperature monitoring capability can also be paired with Kontakt.io’s Asset Tracking solution,
offering a consolidated view of equipment and material management within a single system.
This launch represents another step in Kontakt.io’s efforts to help health systems improve
operational visibility and efficiency through connected technologies.
