People Counting for Hospitals
Hospitals need visitor numbers for capacity and staffing decisions — not for marketing.
A hospital has no till roll to measure against, so footfall is usually estimated from appointment lists that miss visitors, relatives and walk-ins entirely. V-Count counts every person entering each building, wing and waiting area anonymously.
