Staff Duress Alerting for Hospitals - Borda Tech

In hospital environments where tensions can escalate quickly, ensuring the safety of medical staff is a top priority. Unfortunately, under duress or threat, calling for help using a phone may not be possible—especially when speed and discretion are critical.

This Staff Duress Alerting solution empowers healthcare professionals to trigger an emergency alert instantly by pressing a discreet button on their badge tag. Once activated, the system immediately notifies hospital security teams and transmits the staff member’s real-time location, removing the need to verbally communicate or wait for dispatch to identify their position.

By eliminating the need to call or describe their location, the solution dramatically reduces response times and enhances the likelihood of effective intervention during an incident. Whether the threat is physical aggression, harassment, or other forms of workplace violence, this duress alerting system ensures hospital teams are supported—anywhere in the facility, at any time.

Highly scalable and easily integrated into existing staff ID systems, this wearable panic button solution reinforces hospital safety protocols, boosts staff confidence, and aligns with broader efforts to create a secure and responsive healthcare environment.
