ASX-listed technology firm Hills Ltd plans to spin out its Hills Health Solutions division in a merger with Irish patient infotainment system vendor Lincor, with the combined company's integrated patient bedside and nurse call technology set to go live throughout the new Royal Adelaide Hospital when it opens later this year.

Hills Health Solutions (HHS) distributes the Lincor range in Australia and New Zealand and also owns nurse call system brands Merlon and Questek and patient infotainment vendors Hostel and HTR. It also distributes the Sonitor range of real-time location services (RTLS) solutions.
