DENVER, June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aventura, the leading provider of situational awareness technology for the healthcare industry, has received its eighth patent (U.S. Patent No. 9,367,512) from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Aventura's situational awareness platform, Sympatica™, leverages knowledge of the user and their location to present a highly secure, personalized clinical desktop.

The patent relates to technology for the dynamic updating of virtual resources and applications based on location change, solving the fundamental—and crippling—problem of roaming sessions on virtualized desktops and application.

In healthcare, a caregiver's workflow involves working in a myriad of places and performing numerous functions. By personalizing the desktop based on a caregiver's role and location, Aventura is able to eliminate the frustrating, multiple login/logoff process by providing a consolidated desktop that is "always on." With a single gesture, a doctor or nurse is logged into every required application and when they move to another workstation, they gesture out and carry that active session with them "in their pocket." When they move to another workstation, the session resumes right where they left off. There is no need to log-in again or re-access the patient records.

"Our latest patent validates and protects the critical underpinnings of our situational awareness platform," said John Gobron, CEO of Aventura. "By updating a user session based on location, our customers have reduced the time that their caregivers spend logging in and out of the computer, recouping between 30-45 minutes per shift."
