MakeMyAtlas

Hospital wayfinding that patients actually use

MakeMyAtlas guides patients and visitors from the entrance or car park to the right department, ward or clinic — step-free when needed, across buildings and floors — from a link in their appointment letter or a QR sign at the door. Nothing to install.

The problem

Large hospitals grow building by building. Patients arrive anxious, often late, sometimes in a wheelchair, and staff spend time every day walking people to clinics. Missed and late appointments cost money and stress for everyone.

How MakeMyAtlas helps

  • Step-free by default where it matters — accessible routing avoids stairs and escalators and uses lifts.
  • Directions in the appointment letter — a link straight to the clinic, e.g. “from the main entrance to Cardiology, step-free”.
  • QR signs at entrances, lift lobbies and junctions put patients on the map instantly.
  • Department search with opening hours, phone numbers and descriptions (“Heart clinic” finds Cardiology).
  • Healthcare categories ready-made: departments, clinics, emergency, imaging and tests, wards, pharmacy.
  • Your team keeps it current — up to 10 editors, with history and rollback.

No IT project

There is no app to approve and no hardware to install on the estate. The map runs in the browser and can be embedded in the hospital website or patient portal. Hosting, scaling and updates are included.

Answers

Common questions

What is the best indoor navigation for hospitals?

For hospitals, look for step-free (accessible) routing, routes across buildings and floors via lifts, department search with opening hours, links you can put in appointment letters, and no app to install for patients. MakeMyAtlas provides all of these in the browser, with QR signs at entrances and lift lobbies.

Can indoor maps avoid stairs for wheelchair users?

Yes. Turning on accessible routing in MakeMyAtlas avoids stairs and escalators and uses lifts and ramps instead. The route, distance and walking time update immediately.

How do “You are here” QR codes work?

Each printed code encodes the map link plus the exact spot where the sign hangs. Scanning it with the phone camera opens the map with the visitor’s position and facing set, ready for directions — no app and no Bluetooth needed.

How much does indoor navigation cost?

With MakeMyAtlas you can build and publish one venue free. Paid plans start at $79 per venue per month (₹3,999 in India, AED 299 in the GCC), with optional managed mapping from $390 one-time. Because it needs no beacons or other hardware, there are no installation or battery costs.
