Staff Safety: Wearable Duress and Panic Systems
Workplace violence in healthcare is a significant concern. In 2025, the primary defense is the Wearable Panic Button. Integrated into staff ID badges, these buttons allow nurses and doctors to call for help discreetly.
When a duress signal is activated, the system provides the precise indoor location of the staff member using a network of "beacons." This is critical in large, complex hospital wings where a "room number" alone may not be enough for security to find a staff member in a moving altercation. These systems also trigger the nearest security camera to "live-stream" to the command center, providing immediate situational awareness.
