Where Duress earns its place on a healthcare shift.
Each scenario maps to a Duress product and to an outcome we can show in the audit log.
-
App ›A nurse on a home visit at 9pm.
Single-handed visit, unfamiliar address, escalating client. One slide of the Duress App from a phone already in their pocket and a real operator is listening, locating, and dispatching. No second device to forget.
-
Falcon ›Aged-care worker between shower rooms.
Falcon on the wrist. Fall-detection auto-escalates if a worker hits the floor and doesn't respond in 60 seconds. Code-grey workflow handled before the team's pager has finished its first cycle.
-
Phoenix ›Outpatient clinic on a Friday afternoon.
Phoenix under the lanyard, hidden from view. Silent activation when a presenting patient becomes aggressive. No alarm sound to escalate the encounter, just a live operator on the line and a manager paged.
-
Falcon ›Acute ward, code grey.
Falcon's beacon-level indoor positioning tells responders which bed, which side of the curtain, which floor. Not just "third floor north". Exact bay, exact room, before they're out of the lift.
-
App ›Mental health crisis on a community visit.
Discreet activation, two-way voice from the device, the Operations Centre stays on the line while the worker walks to safety. Audio recorded for the incident report and clinical handover.
-
PathfinderAudit, end of quarter.
Pathfinder produces the entire activation log: time, location, video, audio, operator notes, escalation chain. AHPRA-style auditability without anyone reconstructing the day from memory.
Safety that escalates itself.

Maps to the acts your auditors quote in United Kingdom.
Primary obligation
Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974
UK employers must protect workers against violence and aggression under HSWA 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. The HSE's guidance on lone workers in health and social care sets the standard for response, recording, and review. Duress aligns with these requirements and supplies the activation log NHS audits expect.
