Overview

Connexient is a healthcare wayfinding vendor best known for MediNav, an indoor navigation product for hospitals and health systems. Publicly available materials describe turn-by-turn indoor navigation, parking and "find my car" features, location sharing, location-based alerts, analytics, a self-serve map management portal, and delivery across mobile, web and kiosk. Public sources also describe a standalone app or SDK option and EMR and appointment-reminder integrations, and earlier announcements from health systems describe Epic MyChart-connected deployments. A note on brand status: the connexient.com address currently redirects to a hospital wayfinding page on HID's healthcare RTLS site, and press coverage indicates Connexient's technology was acquired by HID Global. The product appears active, but naming, packaging and availability under the Connexient and MediNav names should be confirmed directly with the vendor.

ExpoFP is a floor-plan-first platform used by events, exhibitions and venues, with a dedicated hospital wayfinding solution: searchable departments, rooms and services, multi-building medical campuses, kiosk mode, and a map that can be embedded on the hospital website and in patient communications. Visitors follow turn-by-turn, accessible routes across floors, buildings and an area map without installing an app. Kiosks offer "you are here", caching and full offline mode, and blue-dot indoor, outdoor GPS and QR-code positioning are available at the project level. The same platform handles medical conferences and health fairs, with booth inventory and online booth sales.

This page is for teams comparing ExpoFP vs Connexient, looking for a MediNav alternative for hospital or medical-event maps, or deciding between app-free web and kiosk hospital wayfinding and an EHR-linked healthcare navigation suite. Both cover hospital wayfinding; they differ in how deeply they connect to clinical systems and patient apps.

Quick verdict

Choose ExpoFP if

  • You want hospital wayfinding with no app download: searchable departments, rooms and services across a multi-building campus, embeddable on your website and in patient communications.
  • You want lobby kiosks with "you are here" and offline mode, with blue-dot or QR-code positioning available at the project level.
  • You also run medical conferences, health fairs or vendor days and want booth management and online booth sales on the same platform.
  • You want self-service setup, a free plan to start, and published pricing.

  • You plan to deploy a native patient mobile app or SDK alongside wayfinding kiosks.
  • You want EHR or appointment-linked wayfinding (for example, directions tied to a scheduled appointment), subject to confirmation with the vendor.
  • You need healthcare-specific features such as parking planners, "find my car" and location sharing, and a vendor focused exclusively on healthcare.
  • You are prepared for an enterprise implementation, which may include positioning infrastructure such as Bluetooth Low Energy beacons.

Why teams pick ExpoFP over Connexient

When the goal is wayfinding that every visitor can use, without EHR-linked workflows, these are the reasons teams most often choose ExpoFP:

  • No app required. Patients and visitors open the map from a link, your website, patient communications or a lobby kiosk.
  • Kiosks and positioning. Kiosk mode with "you are here" and offline mode, with blue-dot or QR-code positioning available at the project level.
  • Searchable campus. Departments, rooms and services across multi-building campuses, with accessible routes and an area map.
  • One platform for events too. Medical conferences and health fairs on campus get booth reservations and online booth sales on the same tool.
  • Self-service and transparent pricing. A free plan, a 7-day full-featured trial and published pricing from $149/mo let you evaluate without a sales cycle.
  • Fast updates. Your team can update maps in the browser when departments move or event layouts change.

When Connexient may be a better fit

Connexient is the stronger choice when hospital navigation needs to be tied into clinical systems and a patient app. Public materials describe turn-by-turn indoor navigation, parking and "find my car" tools, kiosks, analytics, and EMR and appointment-reminder integrations, along with a history of Epic MyChart-connected deployments at health systems. ExpoFP does not integrate with EHRs and is not a HIPAA-certified product, so it is not designed to replace an EHR-linked patient navigation system. If your priority is reducing missed appointments through appointment-linked directions, a healthcare specialist is the right category to evaluate. Because the Connexient brand now appears to sit under HID's healthcare RTLS portfolio, confirm current product names, support and contracting with the vendor.

The real tradeoff

The tradeoff is scope. Connexient is built to be a permanent part of a hospital's patient experience: accurate positioning, appointment context, kiosks, and an implementation that involves IT, facilities and often infrastructure. That depth is what healthcare navigation requires, and it comes with the planning, procurement and cost that enterprise healthcare software typically involves.

ExpoFP is built for speed and openness: fast, map-first web and kiosk wayfinding for hospitals, venues and events, with positioning available at the project level. It does not tie into clinical systems or appointments, but it makes it simple to publish a searchable campus map, run kiosks and, when needed, sell booths for campus events. The right choice depends less on which product is "better" and more on whether wayfinding must be linked to the patient record.

How to decide

Start with who the map is for and how long it needs to live. If patients need directions linked to their appointments and the patient app, shortlist healthcare-specific vendors such as Connexient. If every visitor needs searchable, turn-by-turn directions from a link, the website or a kiosk, ExpoFP's hospital wayfinding is likely the faster and more economical route, and it also covers attendees at medical events.

Some organizations use both: an EHR-linked navigation suite for appointment journeys and ExpoFP for open web and kiosk wayfinding or for the annual medical conference on campus.

  • EHR or appointment-linked directions and a patient app: evaluate Connexient and other healthcare wayfinding vendors.
  • App-free web and kiosk wayfinding, medical conferences and health fairs: evaluate ExpoFP.
  • Both needs on one campus: use each where its integration depth fits.

FAQ

For app-free hospital wayfinding, yes. ExpoFP offers turn-by-turn directions, searchable departments and services, kiosk mode and project-level positioning, plus event maps for conferences and health fairs. It is not a replacement where wayfinding must connect to EHR or appointment systems, where Connexient is a specialist.
