Smartphone Personal Duress Button Apps for Hospital and Healthcare Facility Safety Examined in New White Paper
New Canaan, CT (PRWEB) September 30, 2013 -- DefenCall, Inc., a subsidiary of Defentect Group, Inc. (OTC Pink: DFTC) today announced the publication of a new white paper. The “Guide to Smartphone Personal Duress Apps for Hospitals and Health Campuses” explores how healthcare facilities can use smartphone personal duress button apps as part of their overall safety plan to improve security.
Smartphone personal duress apps introduce a new level of protection to healthcare facility workers and volunteers by providing a personal duress button on their smartphones to enhance their ability to “call for help” in an urgent situation by notifying both first responders and administrative staff. These apps can also provide immediate access to customized safety information and procedures for users to follow in an emergency.
The white paper specifically covers:
• What smartphone personal duress buttons are
• How smartphone personal duress button apps work including integration with emergency calling, text messaging, email and dispatch systems
• Comparison to wired and pendent personal duress button systems
• Why facilities should consider adding inbound alerting as part of a comprehensive security plan
“With the need to protect workers, volunteers, patients and visitors an increasing challenge for healthcare facility safety leaders, smartphone technology provides an effective and affordable means to greater security,” said James C. Ackerly, CEO of DefenCall. “This white paper explains how healthcare facilities can leverage their community members’ smartphones to improve emergency communication and overall safety.”
