Portable duress buttons are not a new concept. Even duress solutions that are attached to badge reels might be easy to adopt but often aren’t effective. Nurses need a solution that is discreet, easy to adopt, and requires no change in behavior. Kwema does all three.
We found after speaking with hundreds of nurses:
- Bulky duress buttons are less desirable and wearable
- Three out of five healthcare workers forget their duress buttons at home
- Having a visible duress button can escalate the situation of violence
- Duress buttons that were activated quicker, reduced the severity of the incident.
Kwema created the world’s first smart badge reel containing a hidden duress button that empowers clinicians to unobtrusively call for help when facing workplace violence. Our smart reels connect via Bluetooth and work in both onsite (in-hospital) and offsite (home health) scenarios.
Key Benefits Include:
- Seemlessly adoptable and scaleable
- Never forgotten: It’s part of the uniform
- No charging required: Battery lasts 500 alerts
- Silent activation with haptic feedback
- User-controlled tracking
