THE CHALLENGE
No one should face danger alone.
No time to call
Phones and wall buttons aren’t always within reach when a situation escalates.
Alone
Location unknown
Without live location, responders lose time checking floors and rooms.
Searching
Missed alarms
Alarms that go to everyone are easy to miss, or reach people who can’t help.
Delays
When a situation escalates, staff may not be able to reach a phone or say where they are. Every second spent searching for them delays help.
HOW IT WORKS
One press. Fast help.
Each staff member wears a small duress badge. One press sends their exact location to the security team.
01
Wear a duress badge
Each staff member wears a discreet UWB badge or wristband that is always within reach.
02
Press for help
One press triggers an alert quietly, with no phone call and no need to explain where you are.
03
Pinpoint the room
Real-time location shows the exact room and floor, so responders know where to go.
04
Respond fast
Alerts reach security monitors and existing nurse call or security systems instantly.
PANIC BUTTONS
Every badge in one place.
Battery status
A clear indicator for every badge, so a flat battery never leaves someone unprotected.
Last seen
See when each badge last checked in, with badges that have gone quiet highlighted.
Add a badge in seconds
Create a new panic button by entering the badge’s tag ID and a name, and it’s ready to use.

Room-level accuracy
