They dig into the real-world challenges of moving away from pagers to smartphones, the infrastructure decisions that come with that shift, and what it takes to modernise communications across an entire hospital workforce. Martin shares insights from Olinqua's large-scale projects in Victoria, discussing the practicalities of tech adoption, the importance of system integration, and why the focus needs to be on frontline staff rather than patient-facing solutions. The conversation also touches on the tension between legacy systems and modern platforms, the role of AI in software development, and how real-time location technology is opening up new possibilities for workflow improvement and patient transfer logistics. This episode was recorded live during the Digital Health Festival 2026 in Melbourne, Australia and shares a deep-dive conversation captured at the event. Key Takeaways 📱 Hospitals are transitioning from aging pagers to smartphones for greater capability, integration, and reliability 🔄 Tech upgrades are often driven by infrastructure maturity and end-of-life legacy systems, not just a desire for new tech ✨ Modern solutions centralise multiple workflows: emergency alerts, task management, and mobile duress onto a single platform 👩‍⚕️ The main focus is improving staff experience, convenience, and freeing up time for direct patient care 📍 Real-time location technology is a major area of investment, enabling efficient asset and patient tracking for workflow innovation Timestamps 00:00 — Introduction and setting 00:29 — Olinqua’s current projects 01:17 — Pagers vs smartphones in hospitals… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/talking-healthtech-773483/episodes/617-inside-olinqua-s-integrated-platform-and-smart-device-deployments-at-dhf26/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-healthtech-773483/617-inside-olinqua-s-integrated-platform-and-smart-device-deployments-at-dhf26.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
