Kontakt.io has expanded its Staff Safe workplace violence prevention solution, now offering full outdoor coverage to ensure hospital staff safety across entire campuses.
Using a single real-time-location system (RTLS) platform, this advancement allows healthcare facilities to extend comprehensive protection to outdoor areas, such as car parks and walking paths.

Kontakt.io’s chief revenue officer Rom Eizenberg said: “This innovative solution requires zero wiring with an easy five-minute setup per install point. Access points are battery-powered, weather-proof, and maintenance-free, all of which deliver unmatched economics at scale. You may use existing access points or set up new ones.
“All data, insights, and alerts are viewed on a single pane of glass, monitoring and protecting nurses before and after their shifts, on their way to and from the unit.”
Kontakt.io’s Staff Safe solution provides healthcare workers with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) smart badges equipped with discreet panic buttons.
When pressed, these buttons trigger an immediate duress alert, sharing the staff member’s location in real-time and dispatching responders.

By GlobalDataThe new outdoor extension features BLE-enabled smart badges, with usability upgrades, outdoor gateways with LoRaWAN technology to ensure extensive range connectivity, and indoor base stations to accurately pinpoint locations.
The cloud-native platform also offers reporting, analytics, and infrastructure management options.
In addition, Kontakt.io has also released the Smart Badge 3 Mini, a smaller and lighter wearable designed for clinical environments.
The new badge offers a larger panic button to minimise false alarms, haptic feedback for alert confirmation, and a four-year battery life.
Beyond addressing staff duress, Kontakt.io’s AI-driven RTLS platform serves as a unified infrastructure designed to transform hospital operations.
It allows patient throughput optimisation, asset tracking, and regulatory compliance, among other benefits.
Hospitals consolidating various point solutions into a single orchestration layer can simplify operations and reduce vendor sprawl and total ownership costs, as well as facilitate quicker and more informed decision-making throughout departments.
Kontakt.io’s solutions are currently in use by the Veterans Health Administration, Northeast Georgia Health System, and Genesis HealthCare System.
Last month, the company unveiled a new technology for continuous temperature and humidity monitoring in hospitals.
