Help teams achieve even better patient outcomes. Get more from existing resources and infrastructure. Help improve clinicians’ well-being and productivity. The Ascom Healthcare Platform offers seven, vendor-neutral highly interoperable clinical communication solutions. Each of them supported by global support and training programs.
Modern acute care is characterized by alerts—vast numbers of them. The Ascom clinical monitoring and alarm management solution helps ensure none of them are overlooked.
The Myco 4 is a rugged, Android Enterprise Recommended, easy-to-integrate smartphone that is purpose-built to deliver value. Designed to withstand harsh working environments and be shareable across staff and shifts, it helps you consolidate devices and lower the total cost of ownership. While helping you boost operational efficiency, improve patient-centered care and keep staff safe with advanced personal alarm features.
The Ascom clinical surveillance solution enables continuous yet discreet patient monitoring. A full spectrum of physiological and other data (unusual patient movements, leaving bed, etc.) is sent to relevant caregivers and/or monitors, nurse stations and PCs. Alerts, too, go to designated staff members. The result? Clinicians can keep an eye on all patients. Especially the ones they can’t see.
The Ascom solution has allowed us to make the patients visible to the nurses, no matter where they are in the building
Ascom has been at the forefront of clinical communications solutions for half a century. All Ascom solutions are rigorously tested, and meet all applicable standards for uptime, system redundancies and data protection: GDPR, HIPPA, the EU’s MDR, FDA regulations, etc
Ascom clinical communication and collaboration systems are interoperable with infusion pumps, ventilators and other medical devices. And as our solutions are modular, it’s easy to scale them for every size of facility from specialist clinics to entire health systems.
