Workplace violence risk
Patient or visitor aggression can escalate quickly. Fixed wall buttons aren’t always reachable—or discreet enough.

The challenge
Workplace violence doesn’t wait for a wired panic button
Clinical staff often work alone at the bedside. When aggression escalates, they need a discreet signal—and security needs to know where to go.
Delayed location
Overhead pages and phone calls burn seconds. Security needs floor-plan context, not a vague “someone needs help.”
Construction-heavy alternatives
Hardwired systems disrupt live clinical units. Hospitals need deployable coverage without tearing into walls.
