Ascom works closely with some of the world’s leading medical device manufacturers. Together, we are making it possible for clinicians to receive detailed alerts to their phones, PCs and dashboards - while the source devices remain silent.

One phone. One platform

Rugged, reliable and shareable, the Myco 4 smartphone is ideal for smarter communication and collaboration at work. Helping to consolidate devices, optimize workflows and lower the total cost of ownership, while ensuring staff feel secure with advanced personal safety features. An Android Enterprise Recommended device, Myco 4 also fully supports interoperability with 3rd party devices and existing hospital information systems.

Introducing Ascom's silent medical alarms

Healthcare professionals want quieter ICUs - but what about reliably distributing bedside device alarm notifications? How can devices such as infusion pumps operate in silent mode, whilst ensuring clinicians still get relevant alerts and data? See how Arcomed and Ascom worked together to solve these challenges.

Alerts for faulty medical devices

Ascom’s silent medical alarms solution supervises the distribution of alarm notifications from the alarm source through to the clinician. If a medical device becomes faulty, our solution detects this and delivers a notification of the failure straight to the appropriate staff.

Ascom Healthcare Platform highlights

Interoperable

Vendor-neutral, interoperable with existing and planned medical devices and communication systems.

Empower clinicians

Clinicians get context-rich, near-real-time data that is needed to make better care decisions.

Patient outcomes

Fast, targeted and informed responses by the right people at the right time can have a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction and recovery. 

Quieter workplaces

Filtered alerting and messaging helps improve productivity and staff morale. Calmer environments can also enhance staff satisfaction.

Scalable

Our solutions adapt to meet changing needs. They are scalable from an on-site system for a single department/ward, through to a multi-site hospital.

Solution support

From initial planning with Ascom Clinical Consultants through to installation, solution lifecycle support and training.

Crucially, the technology development work was done by clinicians instead of to clinicians. It meant we had genuine engagement with nurses and other stakeholders as we carefully planned the hospital from the start – taking in the views of estates, IT, domestic staff, porters, admin, allied health and medical staff

Integrate with existing systems

Ascom’s silent medical alarms solution can be connected to medical devices and other clinical technologies for seamless integrations and quieter patient rooms. Our solutions are vendor-neutral and modular, so it’s easy to scale them for every size of estate from specialist clinics to entire health systems.

We also provide in-house software engineering expertise and support for agile development of reliable medical device driver integrations.
