Buyer's guide · healthcare

The best lone worker device for healthcare.

Healthcare work runs on clinic hours and community visits, and the risk moves with it: from waiting-room aggression to a lone community nurse in a client's home. The best device is one a clinician can trigger without reaching for a phone, that keeps working when they are off-site, and that can raise the alarm on its own if they cannot.

The recommendation

Start with Falcon

Best fit

Falcon

A wearable 4G device that works with no phone, with fall detection and automatic check-ins for community and home-visit staff. A worker who is knocked down or goes quiet is covered even if they never press anything.

Also consider

the Duress App

For clinic and office-based staff who always carry a phone, the app turns it into a monitored safety device with slide-to-alert and a safety timer, with no new hardware to manage.

See the Duress App ›

Every Duress device includes accredited 24/7 monitoring with a seven-second median operator pickup. For a neutral, cross-vendor view see the buyer's guide, or compare the full range side by side.

Questions

Common questions

What is the best safety device for community nurses?
A standalone 4G wearable like Falcon suits community and home-visit nursing best: it works without a phone, adds fall detection and automatic check-ins, and reaches accredited 24/7 monitoring in a median of seven seconds with the nurse's live location.
Do hospital staff need a duress device or an app?
It depends on the role. Ward and clinic staff who carry a phone are well served by the safety app; community and lone visiting staff are better with a standalone wearable that works off-site and detects falls.
