Abstract: A computer implemented method for localizing handheld analytical devices in a point of care environment is presented. The method comprises associating a location identifier to a plurality of locations within the point of care environment and storing the location identifier into a database, at each of the plurality of locations, capturing signal patterns using signal receiver(s) of the handheld analytical devices, storing all signal patterns captured in a database, capturing a current signal pattern using signal receiver(s) of a handheld analytical device to be localized, and providing a descriptive localization by a control unit indicative of its position relative to one or more of the plurality of locations within the point of care environment associated with one or more signal pattern(s) stored in the database matching the current signal pattern.
