Madison, Wis. – Mar. 7, 2024 – Singlewire Software, the leader in solutions that help keep people safe and informed, announces its partnership with Kontakt.io, the leader in Inpatient Journey Analytics, to integrate Singlewire’s InformaCast mass notification and management software with the Kontakt.io staff safety solution. The integration leverages Kontakt.io smart badges to initiate InformaCast notifications, providing personalized protection for healthcare workers.
“With violent healthcare incidents on the rise, the need for solutions that protect staff has never been more critical,” said Terry Swanson, president and CEO of Singlewire Software. “This integration enables healthcare organizations to enhance safety for their staff by expanding the reach of critical messages activated by Kontakt.io solutions.”
Kontakt.io’s staff safety solution comes with BLE wearable devices that healthcare staff can use to activate InformaCast notifications when they need assistance. Notifications can include the name and location of the worker that activated the alert and be sent to targeted recipients like security teams, or broadcast throughout an entire facility as text, audio, or visual messages. Kontakt.io also leverages AI-powered analytics to reveal high-risk areas and times, helping health systems improve safety protocols and proactively prevent duress. Coupled with the incident management capabilities available within InformaCast, these two solutions can help healthcare organizations handle an emergency event from start to finish and provide quick and efficient responses to help those in need.
“In healthcare, every second matters. That’s as true for patients as it is for staff,” said Philipp von Gilsa, CEO of Kontakt.io. “By combining our two solutions, we are enabling healthcare organizations to respond faster with more accurate and relevant information so they can provide assistance to their staff members the moment they request it.”
The integrated solution will be on display during the HIMSS Conference in Orlando Mar. 11–15 at booth 5949. To learn more about how to leverage mass notification, incident management, and panic button solutions to enhance worker safety in healthcare, visit www.singlewire.com/informacast-healthcare.
