Confidently protect your healthcare staff

When a staff member needs assistance or, if they are faced with a safety threat, they can quickly and discreetly summon help from wherever they are. CenTrak's real-time location technology, coupled with secure software applications, provide real-time map views, immediate alert notifications, and continuous location updates during a duress event.

Staff Duress - Problem

Don’t let inaccurate information delay response times to staff emergencies

The Joint Commission states that exposure to workplace violence can impair effective patient care and lead to psychological distress, job dissatisfaction, absenteeism, high turnover, and higher costs. During a staff duress event, it is crucial that the alert is immediately received by the system and that time is not wasted sending assistance to the wrong floor.

Staff Duress - Solution

The most reliable wireless staff safety solution for healthcare

Staff safety badges are equipped with wireless call functionality that discreetly summon help. During an emergency, staff simply press on their badge and the application instantly communicates the identity of the staff member and the precise location of the emergency.

This isn't just another administrative protocol to follow. The system's proven results are a game-changer for our hospital's safety and staff morale.

A safer healthcare environment is always within arm's reach

    Safety - Gen2IR

    Accurately locate staff members under duress

    For room- and sub-room-level locating, CenTrak utilizes patented Second Generation Infrared (Gen2IR) devices. Without line-of-sight limitations, Monitors and Virtual Walls transmit a unique location ID via Gen2IR, which is then received by any tag in that location. The tag immediately communicates the location ID via radio frequency to the Location Server, where it can be accessed in real-time by hospital personnel and integrated with various IoT solutions.
