Hospital staff have the important role of providing adequate care for the overall betterment of patient health and needs. This job can be very grueling, as most nurses work long hours with shifts full of what may feel like a thousand different tasks. Although most nurses have a true passion for what they do, burnout is a very real problem that can lead to poor performance and negatively affect patient care. This is why almost every hospital or medical care facility chooses to implement technology that assists its staff in completing everyday necessary operations, and one of the most often used options are nurse call systems.
At Symtech Solutions, we have developed an industry leading technology called Acuity Wireless Emergency Call — the most advanced and cost effective UL-certified wireless nurse call system. We are truly proud to offer hospitals and other medical care facilities with this useful piece of tech, as it is the best way for nurses to meet and exceed patients’ needs in a timely manner to avoid complications and other problems from occurring. Best of all, we have combined our nurse call system with other great technological solutions to further improve the way nurses operate. These systems are our fall prevention and detection lamp and HIPPA-compliant voice assistant!
In combination, all three of these systems work wonders for improving medical care facility procedures and overall patient care. Read below if you are interested in learning more about what these products are and how they can help you staff succeed and overcome the challenges to their daily routines.

The Importance of Nurse Call Systems
Nurse call systems are important because they allow nurses to receive alerts when patients need their attention. This allows nurses to focus on their patients and keep them safe. Nurse call systems also allow doctors and other health professionals to track the health of patients more easily, allowing them to shift their focus if a problem ever arises.
Symtech Solutions understands the importance of such systems, which is why we have developed our Acuity Wireless Emergency Call to provide a wide range of benefits that go beyond the capabilities of standard nurse call systems. These benefits include:
- Call Assurance LED — Indicates that help is on the way
- Hidden Staff Assist Button — Lets caregivers summon immediate staff support
- Cancel Button — Allows staff or residents to cancel the alarm
- Aux Alarm or Extra Call Cord Input — Provides flexibility for a second bed or alerting of bed exit, IV Pump, ventilator, and other safety devices
- Customized Labeling — Facilitates personalized faceplates with instructions or branding
- Call Cord — Can be used for traditional bedside nurse calls or auxiliary alarms
- Help — This button notified and summons assigned or the nearest staff
HIPAA-Compliant Voice Assistant
Voice assistants allow users to interact with technology by simply using their voice. These products are designed to recognize and respond to questions and commands, and can even be used to control other smart devices. Syemtech Solutions is proud to offer your facility a HIPAA-Compliant voice assistant that can truly change the way patients interact with your staff, adding further value to an already amazing nurse call system.
By providing nurse staff with an additional point of contact to patients, you will help improve their overall performance and patient attentiveness, as we offer a diverse range of benefits to constantly keep staff aware and alert to patient needs. Our voice assistant offers some of the following benefits:
- Gives residents access to call for help — Residents can call for help at any time by verbally saying “Help!” This will send an alert through your hospital’s acuity system, informing their designated nurse or the closest one to them.
- Resident check-ins — Check-ins can be done verbally and passively, which is especially helpful when patients are extremely sick and at high risk for exposure.
- Set reminders — Whether for the patient or nurse, our voice assistant allows you to set reminders hands-free, offering a simple way to stay up to date on important information, tasks, and so on.
- Ask questions — Gives access to your patients to ask questions about important medical care, medication, or general questions about anything.
- Brings the intelligence of smart technology to every patient — Although not every patient may take advantage of such useful technology, it is important to still provide them access to tools that will help them throughout their stay in your facility.
Fall Detection and Prevention Lamps
Most long term hospital or medical care facility stays involve older patients that are at high risk for falling due to a loss in physical functions. This can lead to patients severely hurting themselves, and if this is not recognized quickly, it can lead to further issues.
For this very reason we have developed a fall detection and prevention smart lamp that will quickly inform staff about a patient who has fell or may fall, and it works by:
- Automatically sensing when a resident gets out of bed and turns on the lights
- Detects when someone has fallen and verbally confirms with the resident if they need help
- Resident check-in can be done passively when the system detects the resident getting out of bed
- Alerts can be sent to mobile devices and Acuity master stations
- Smoke, air quality, and temperatures are built into each light
- No cameras and no wearables necessary to detect falls
