Kio Staff Safe is an alerting and rapid incident response system that supports your organization's duress response protocols. Your Kontakt.io Smart Badge — equipped with a panic button — gives you a discreet, silent way to signal for help and bring responders to your real-time location.
Why your badge matters
You can activate a rapid response to your real-time location:
- Signal for help when a situation begins to escalate
- Provides your real-time location only when you signal for help
- Works when you're at a desk, in a patient room or care area, or on the move
What the badge does not do
Just as important as what it does:
- Does not record audio
- Does not provide responders with your real-time location unless you signal for help
- Does not work outside Staff Safe coverage areas — at home or offsite, no alert is sent
How a duress alert works — remember it as S·A·F·E
-
SIGNAL for help. Press a button on your badge the number of times your organization has set.
- Discreet and silent — no phone, app, or speaking required
- A deliberate action that prevents accidental alerts
-
ALERT sent to responders. Your signal immediately activates an alert and sends notifications to responders.
- The alert and notifications include your real-time location
- No further action needed from you
-
FOUND by responders. Your badge helps responders locate you, even when you are on the move.
- Provides your real-time location during the alert
- Helps identify your room-level location using the badge's IR sensor
- ENHANCES your safety. In a moment of duress, remember you are never alone. With a press of a button on your Smart Badge, help is immediately on the way and your real-time location is pinpointed.
