TAGCart’s Inc., in partnership with Inpro Corp., proudly announces our innovative TAG-X® Smart Rail has been awarded the prestigious Silver Nightingale Innovation Award for “Technology-Integrated Solutions” at the Healthcare Design Expo 2024. This groundbreaking product is transforming healthcare environments by offering seamless, wireless charging solutions for mobile medical equipment, enhancing both safety and workflow for healthcare professionals.
The Nightingale Awards, in partnership with the HCD Conference, recognize products related to the healthcare built environment. It is named for Florence Nightingale, a tireless advocate for the improvement of care and conditions in military and civilian hospitals in the 1800s. The judging criteria for the awards is the product’s contribution or solution for clinical or operational outcomes; aesthetics and innovation; built environment solution, durability, functionality, and quality; industry certifications and standards; environmental sustainability; and list price.
The TAG-X® Smart Rail eliminates the need for nurses and caregivers to constantly plug and unplug power cords, allowing for a contactless and efficient charging experience. This not only reduces cross-contamination risks but also minimizes physical strain on caregivers, freeing them to focus on delivering patient care without the constant interruption of managing cords. Mounted on a durable, impact-resistant frame, the TAG-X® Smart Rail offers unparalleled durability and ease of installation, fitting seamlessly into various healthcare settings.
Healthcare professionals are already recognizing the game-changing benefits of the TAG-X® Smart Rail. One ER nurse shared, “Love the TAG-X wireless charging! I seek the TAGCarts out over the old corded carts because they’re just easier and make my workflow smoother…Lov’em!”
Taggart Neal, Founder and CEO of TAGCarts, Inc., shared “The Nightingale Awards program at HCDExpo has a history or predicting winners. Seeing the TAG-X® Smart Rail receive this ‘Technology-Integrated Solution’ award with Team Inpro is industry validation of our work and recognition of our momentum in cutting the cord for healthcare. In collaboration with Inpro and various partners we are humble to receive the award, and grateful to the highly accredited judges who see the future of healthcare today, with TAG-X® Smart Rails.”
TAGCart’s commitment to healthcare innovation through evidence-based and human-centered design shines through in this award-winning product. We are excited to see the TAG-X® Smart Rail contribute to safer, more efficient healthcare environments across the industry.

TAGCarts® and Inpro Unveil Revolutionary Wireless Charging TAG-X® Smart Rail for Enhanced Healthcare Efficiency
[MILWAUKEE, WI] — In a groundbreaking partnership, leading medical cart, workstation, and mobile medical equipment (MME) company, TAGCarts®, has joined forces with Inpro, a global leader in interior protection, to introduce the “TAG-X® Smart Rail.” This state-of-the-art wireless, contactless charging device is designed to seamlessly integrate with TAGCarts®’ ecosystem of carts, MME and software. The innovative TAG-X® Smart Rail promises to enhance healthcare efficiency, optimize battery health, and improve staff mobility and safety.
Revolutionizing Healthcare with Wireless Charging
The TAG-X® Smart Rail combines patented TAGCarts® technology with a durable Inpro wall guard, offering wireless charging for all medical carts and mobile medical equipment, regardless of battery size or chemistry type. This innovative product eliminates the need for hazardous cords and costly swappable battery systems currently in use. By utilizing existing infrastructure in healthcare facilities, such as bed guards, handrails, and wall protection, the TAG-X® Smart Rail ensures a seamless addition to any environment.
“I was tired of seeing nurses and healthcare professionals struggle with problems that seemed to be ignored,” said Taggart Neal, CEO and Founder of TAGCarts®. “Partnering with Inpro was a natural choice given their reputation and expertise in the healthcare industry. Our collaboration aims to tackle these challenges head-on and make a significant impact on the lives of healthcare workers and their patients.”
Key Benefits and Features
Enhanced Efficiency: Streamlines medical workflows and enhances patient care.
Optimized Battery Health: Extends the lifespan and reliability of mobile medical equipment.
Improved Mobility and Safety: Eliminates hazardous cords, reducing risks of trips and falls.
Seamless Integration: Utilizes existing healthcare facility infrastructure.
Touch-Free Charging: Effortless, contactless charging for all medical carts and equipment.
Matt Bennett, Vice President of Product Development and Technical Services at Inpro, echoed Neal’s sentiments, “TAGCarts® has identified a critical issue that has been overlooked for too long. At Inpro, our mission has always been to make a difference in the lives of the occupants in the buildings we help protect. Partnering with TAGCarts® aligns perfectly with our goal of driving meaningful change in the healthcare sector. We are proud to bring this innovative solution to the market and look forward to the positive impact it will have on healthcare professionals.”
The simplicity of the TAG-X® Smart Rail is what makes it brilliant. Healthcare professionals can effortlessly roll their carts or equipment near the rail, where the “X” marks the spot for efficient, touch-free charging.
Successful Test Pilot and Future Plans
The innovation is already gaining traction, with hospitals eager to retrofit their existing rails and incorporate this advanced technology. The first hospital test pilot was launched in New Mexico in August 2023, and the data analytics thus far highlights “Touch Points Prevented” as a key performance indicator. Infection prevention is driving the reduction of touch points, cross-contamination, and patient readmissions. TAGCarts® and Inpro are gearing up for more test pilots in 2024, in conjunction with WiBotic and Capsa Healthcare.
The TAG-X® Smart Rail will be available for sale August 26, 2024. For more information, visit inprocorp.com

The Center For Health Design; Taggart ”Tagg” Neal, EDAC, Founder and CEO TAGCarts® – Member Spotlight
The Center For Health Design’s® Lynn Kinney, EDAC, SASHE recently interviewed TAGCarts® Founder and CEO Taggart Neal, EDAC for the Affiliate Connection’s “News and Highlights” 30k+ readers.
Full site Reader View available HERE.
…This month, we had the pleasure of interviewing Taggart “Tagg” Neal, EDAC, of TAGCarts®. Tagg is literally thinking outside the box with his innovative and time-saving solutions for caregivers.
Briefly describe your current role.
As founder and CEO of TAGCarts®, I oversee strategy, operations, culture, execution, finance, investor relations, sales and business development. Everything I do falls within the discipline of building a brand of products with nurses and hospitals. Our brand reflects their values, culture, and goals for better community health.
How long have you been affiliated with The Center?
5 years.
What led you to become a member?
The Center’s member community represents other like-minded teams embracing evidence-based design (EBD) in the healthcare industry. As a startup, I wanted our membership and contributions to the greater collective to be a cornerstone of our company culture. The team at The Center supported my vision for a cart company beyond expectations and hasn’t stopped since.
How did you get started in the industry?
In 2003, I was fortunate to be offered a position with a medical cart company as a territory manager for Northern California and Nevada. I fell in love with the role of serving nurses by providing medical cart solutions to enhance their ability to work smarter, safer, and provide better care for patients.
How have you utilized EBD and your EDAC credential to build a better cart and how has that impacted outcomes?
The evidence-based design process provided the framework for designing our supply cart for nurses – known as the TAGCart®. It validates our design as going way beyond. We sought challenges and feedback from users to improve and inform design. My evidence-based design credential (EDAC) gave me the knowledge to apply the EBD process to our medical cart design. Including stakeholders requires input from more than just end-users. One outcome of that was the evidence we found where hospitals and healthcare systems are trending toward the integration of their sustainability goals into their supply chain. This validated our desire to build a sustainable cart for healthcare and was thus included. Had we only asked end user nurses about sustainability, we would not have known hospitals were looking for capital equipment to evolve beyond being competitive to becoming beacons of sustainability.
What have you liked most about being part of The Center for Health Design community?
Collaborating with other design-minded professionals. It’s comforting and validating to know others view objects, products, or environments of care beyond the “surface” of what they actually are. It’s design-mind thinking and there are no right answers, only models for processing. Eliminating binary outcomes encourages my ability to explore, suppose, imagine, and on occasion innovate.
What is your “go-to” resource from The Center?
The Knowledge Repository. It’s a dynamic treasure trove of case studies, white papers, and overall evidence-based design work for healthcare.
What is one of your greatest professional accomplishments?
