How RTLS for Staff Safety Works

Staff Duress RTLS

Deliver real-time safety to staff in hospitals and long-term healthcare facilities

Staff members are assigned an active RFID tag with call button support . This can be worn in a wristband or attached to a lanyard. The tags communicate with the GuardRFID infrastructure in real-time to facilitate staff location and alerts in the AllGuard® software if the tag call button is pressed. When the alarm is received in real-time, the software can be configured to generate various responses, including sending notifications to authorized personnel (for example, security guards) or triggering an audible alarm to help diffuse the situation.

Solution Advantages

  • Rich suite of business logic implemented in the AllGuard server, including interfaces to third-party systems.
  • Staff Tags feature two configurable buttons, LEDs and man-down detection capability.
  • Tags maintain their RF performance when attached to people.
  • Dedicated RTLS network reduces risk of interference from other systems.

And TotGuard is all those things. But secondly, I think GuardRFID’s customer service has been spectacular! "
