Healthcare

A silent call for help, at every station.

XGen Connected Response gives nurses, clinical staff, and front-desk teams a discreet way to summon help at nurse stations, emergency departments, and reception, without alarming patients. It triggers a coordinated response, connects to 911 with your facility's verified location, and runs on the same platform that handles everyday paging and patient communication.

Discreet staff duress and panic buttons for hospitals and clinics

Discreet duress

Staff summon help without escalating a situation or alarming patients and families.

Multi-press SOS

The emergency trigger takes several deliberate presses, which helps prevent false alarms.

Facility-wide response

Alerts reach the right teams and, when needed, the whole facility and first responders.

Verified location to 911

Dispatch gets the registered facility and area, not just a device's GPS guess.

Why it matters

Care never stops, and neither can safety.

Emergency departments, reception desks, and patient floors face difficult moments every day, from an escalating visitor to a medical emergency. XGen Connected Response puts a discreet call for help within reach, turns a silent activation into a coordinated response with the exact location, and helps your team stay connected across the whole facility.

Know who is on site

Control the front door, account for the floor.

Safety starts at the entrance and continues through the whole building. XGen Connected Response brings visitor management and real-time accountability into the same platform as the alert, so you know who is on site and can account for staff during an evacuation.

Visitor management

Log, screen, and badge visitors at entrances, with sign in and out and instant background screening.

Staff accountability

During an evacuation, staff confirm they are safe from any device so leadership sees who is accounted for.

Built into the alert

Entry control and accountability tie into the live incident map, so the response and the record stay together.

The facility system

One system for every wing and every floor.

The alert rides on a full communications system that also runs the day: paging, intercom, and patient communication between rooms and the front desk. It is compatible with most existing systems, so you can start where you need to and upgrade over time.

Paging and intercom

How it works

Press. Respond. Locate. Coordinate.

A clear, practiced chain that turns one discreet press into the right response, in the right place.

1

Press

A staff member presses a wearable or station button, or uses the app. The emergency trigger takes several deliberate presses so it is never set off by accident.

2

Respond

The right team is alerted, and when needed the facility and 911 are reached with your verified location.

3

Locate

Beacons place the alert on a live responder map, down to the unit and room.

4

Coordinate

Staff coordinate in real time over push, text, and group chat, with shared awareness of the incident.

Reliable and durable

Trusted, robust hardware built for demanding, around-the-clock environments.

Mandates and compliance

Where healthcare safety plans are the law.

A growing number of states require healthcare employers to adopt workplace-violence-prevention programs. Most mandate a prevention plan and hazard controls that commonly include alarm and duress devices, rather than a named "panic button." XGen Connected Response supports these programs.
