TokenMe Redefines Large-Scale Construction at Denmark’s Odense University Hospital at CES 2024
CES Innovation Award honoree tracks 1,000 workers across 247,000 square meters at Denmark’s largest hospital
TokenMe, a Dutch company that makes construction projects safer, more cost-efficient and productive using mobile sensors, AI and real-time monitoring, unveiled details of its first large-scale project: the New Odense University Hospital (OUH), the largest hospital in Denmark. TokenMe installed nearly 500 of its wall-mounted sensor hubs (anchors) and delivered 1,500 wearable smart badges (tokens) to the OUH construction site in 2023 to track tasks, assets and one thousand workers at the new ‘super hospital,’ which covers 247,000 square meters and will offer 10,000 rooms across 7 buildings. The results of TokenMe’s smart monitoring are published on an intuitive dashboard used by general contractor management, risk managers, subcontractors and safety teams.
TokenMe is demonstrating its solution live at the Netherlands Pavilion at the Consumer Electronics Show at Eureka Park, Booth 62100-33 in the Venetian Expo, January 9–12, 2024. TokenMe offers a demo kit that can be brought to customer premises to run a 6-anchor trial in minutes.

Aroldo Tegon, project manager of the New Odense University Hospital construction project, explained, “Both CMB and Itinera, the construction firms leading the Odense Hospital Project Team, invested in TokenMe and other technologies because we recognize their value. TokenMe’s real-time data helps mitigate risks, monitor environmental factors, and is assisting in the decision-making process.”
“Massive construction sites come with additional risks due to scale,” added Brian Taammoli, the Odense Hospital Project Team’s risk manager. “With TokenMe’s smart construction monitoring, we’re now able to track 1,000 workers spread out over 22 kilometers of corridors. The system was implemented in early 2023 and the workers are comfortable with it, as they are educated about its GDPR compliance and functionalities.”
How TokenMe Works
TokenMe uses wireless tag and sensor technologies to monitor “boots on the ground” and improve safety at construction sites using UWB, LoRa, WiFi and BLE technologies. Construction workers wear smart badges or helmet tags (tokens) that transmit anonymous data to battery-powered mobile anchors mounted at strategic locations across the site. The anchors send the information — worker presence, motion, temperature, humidity, loud sound, air quality, and light intensity — to the TokenMe database (cloud or on-premise), where data is processed using AI and rules to provide meaningful real-time insights and predictions on construction workflow and building conditions.

The TokenMe dashboard visualizes data as graphs, lists, and maps, giving an overview of task execution, location of materials and equipment, real-time presence of personnel, and progress tracking and predictions. Falls are one of the highest risks leading to fatal accidents. TokenMe uses a fall-detect and a “request for help” button to generate warnings and critical alarms. The easy-to-install solution substantially improves safety, reduces delays, and reduces project costs.
