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.
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.
