Clinician

The Ascom Healthcare Platform has clinicians’ insights built into its very DNA. Each of its six solutions has been designed in close cooperation with frontline caregivers. And to keep the solutions optimized, we’re continuously gathering clinicians’ feedback. Using it to refine the solutions, as well as our worldwide training and support programs.

The silent alarm function in the Ascom workplace and staff safety solution helps protect clinicians—without escalating potentially dangerous situations.

Sometimes clinicians can’t trigger an alarm. Which is why their Ascom device can

An attack that leaves an employee unresponsive. A sudden fall. A seizure. These are some of the scenarios when a staff member won’t have time to raise the alarm. Which is why the Ascom personal safety solution has so many automated features. Options such as ‘man-down’, which transmits an alert when the device tilts or falls. Or a no-movement function, which triggers an alert should the phone remain stationary beyond a pre-set time limit.

Crucially, the technology development work was done by clinicians instead of to clinicians. It meant we had genuine engagement with nurses and other stakeholders as we carefully planned the hospital from the start – taking in the views of estates, IT, domestic staff, porters, admin, allied health and medical staff
