Abstract	This paper describes a design effort in a smart tracking prototype, in an attempt to provide real-time, mobile and seamlessly indoor/outdoor location tracking for medical staff, patient or instruments in hospital environment, by integrating GPS (Global Position System) with UWB (Ultra Wideband). Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology can locate a person or asset to the accuracy of centimeters. While UWB technology is becoming popular for indoor position tracking, GPS technology has been around for some time for use in outdoor position tracking with an accuracy of 1 to 100 meters depending on the type of equipment used. It is envisaged that it is possible to combine GPS with UWB to give accurate position regardless of where the person or object is in indoor or outdoor. In view of the strong need for indoor-outdoor tracking in many environments such as hospitals, we looked into the possibility of integrating UWB and GPS to provide the target with seamless indoor-outdoor navigation capability and have developed a prototype. The system structure and experimental results will be illustrated in this paper. To our knowledge, no same system is reported yet.
