Radius is an enterprise mobile duress system featuring the unique capability to pinpoint the location of mobile duress alarms. Radius provides immediate notification when help is needed and directs responders to the exact location of the call.
Hospitals Need Radius
Inovonics designed Radius specifically for hospitals. Whether in emergency departments, behavioral health programs, or human resources, hospital employees are increasingly at risk of physical violence. Fortunately, there is one security measure that can help prevent violence.
“Only 1 [environmental control measure] was significantly associated with lower odds of physical violence – panic button/silent alarm.”
- Emergency Department Violence Surveillance Study. Institute for Emergency Nursing Research, 2011.
Because Radius provides the location of a call for help, safety is only a button press away. No more hunting for a stationary alarm or pull station: a nurse can simply and discreetly notify security wherever they need help.
Key Features
Mobile Duress with Location
Knowing help is needed without knowing where, is really no help at all. Using software that leverages Inovonics’ dedicated wireless network, Radius can determine where an alarm is coming from within a building or a campus setting. This allows responders to locate the call for help immediately and accurately.
Adaptive Notification
In the event of an emergency, nothing is more important than making sure the right people get the information they need to act effectively. Radius ensures that emergency alerts are delivered by using the devices hospital employees depend upon, including two-way radios, VoIP telephones, e-mail, mobile phones, and text messaging. As events escalate, the recipient list can escalate accordingly, so that emergencies are targeted and handled by the appropriate personnel, ensuring the safety of everyone.
Dedicated Wireless Network
Radius functions on a secure, supervised wireless network, removed from the common faults and down times that other wireless connections provide. Radius also offers complete campus coverage with its high power repeater network.
