Parking Should Not Be the Hardest Part of a Hospital Visit

Patients arrive anxious, in pain, or running late for appointments, and the first thing your campus asks them to do is find a space. Better Parking gives facilities teams live, space-level occupancy and gives patients real-time availability before they turn in.

The Healthcare Campus Parking Problem

Hospital parking failures show up as late arrivals, stressed patients, and staff complaints.

πŸ₯

Late patients, disrupted schedules

When visitors cannot find parking, appointments start late and clinics back up. Parking stress is consistently one of the top complaints on patient experience surveys.

β™Ώ

ADA availability is a compliance issue

Accessible stalls near entrances are the most critical spaces on campus, and the hardest to monitor. You need to know when they are full, occupied incorrectly, or out of service.

πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈ

Staff and visitors compete for the same asphalt

Shift changes flood lots at predictable hours. Without zone-level data, staff overflow spills into visitor parking and nobody can prove where the pressure actually is.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Multi-building campuses confuse everyone

Medical office buildings, emergency departments, outpatient centers, main towers, each with its own lot. Visitors park at the wrong building and walk, or give up and circle.

How Better Parking Works on a Medical Campus

Space-level visibility for facilities, wayfinding for patients.

01

Sensors in every space, no construction

We deploy compact battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors per stall: over five years of battery life, weather-resistant, no trenching near sensitive facilities, and no downtime during installation.

02

Live ADA and specialty-space monitoring

Tag spaces as ADA/handicap-accessible, EV charging, or metered. Facilities sees per-type availability in real time, with visual badges and automatic sensor-health alerts.

03

Zone-level truth for staff vs. visitor lots

Color-coded, lot-by-lot occupancy shows exactly where shift-change pressure lands and which visitor zones stay full: data for policy decisions instead of anecdotes.

04

Patients see availability before arriving

The driver app shows real-time space availability and wayfinding, guiding visitors to the right lot for the right building: fewer late arrivals, calmer front doors.

05

Events for the campus calendar

Construction, lot closures, visiting-hour surges, clinic-day overflow: publish events once and alert drivers directly through the app.

06

Reports administration can act on

Occupancy trends, peak patterns, and dwell-time analytics exportable to CSV or PDF: evidence for parking policy, shuttle planning, and capital decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Healthcare parking, answered.

Can we monitor ADA-accessible spaces in real time?
Yes. Spaces can be tagged as ADA/handicap-accessible and monitored per type. The dashboard shows live availability for accessible stalls, and automatic sensor-health alerts flag any monitoring gaps.
Can the system separate staff parking from visitor parking?
Yes. Lots and zones are configured independently, so facilities teams see occupancy for staff lots and visitor lots separately, including how shift changes affect each.
Will installation disrupt hospital operations?
No. Better Parking deploys compact battery-powered sensors per space with no trenching or wiring, and the platform integrates with existing lots, with no complex migrations and no downtime.
How do patients know where to park?
The companion driver app shows real-time space availability and wayfinding, so visitors can head to the right lot for their building instead of circling the campus.
How quickly does the dashboard reflect a space opening up?
Detection latency is under two seconds from a vehicle leaving a space to the update appearing on the facilities dashboard and driver app.
Can we communicate closures or construction to visitors?
Yes. Facilities can create events for closures, construction, or special rules and alert drivers directly through the mobile app, scheduled with start and end times.
What analytics do facilities and administration get?
Occupancy charts, peak-usage patterns, trend analysis, and average time occupied, exportable to CSV or PDF with configurable date ranges, per lot or campus-wide.
