Ascom Myco is said to be the first smartphone of its kind designed to suit healthcare purposes. It operates on an android platform and facilitates a convenient and real-time access to clinical information throughout the hospital.

The smartphone integrated with the Ascom Unite platform helps reduce alarm fatigue in healthcare workers, which is a phenomenon triggered by overexposure to false alarms.

"Ascom Myco increases the time our staff and physicians have to meaningfully interact with patients at the bedside by making communications more efficient and reliable."

It is fitted with a built-in barcode scanner, which facilitates medication administration and operation on an Android platform and enables the smartphone to engage in a range of healthcare applications.

Humber River Hospital CTO Kevin Fernandes said: "We selected Ascom smart phones not only because of our positive past experience, but because Ascom Myco’s seamless integration with other hospital systems enables us to deliver everything from time-sensitive, bedside nurse calls and notifications to real-time electrocardiograms and waveforms directly to the mobile caregiver device.
