Communication to enhance school safety and security

Equip teachers, administrators, security personnel and others to communicate quickly and broadly.

Go beyond walkie-talkies and panic button point solutions with Stryker’s lightweight, wearable Smartbadge. It brings together hands-free voice calling, secure messaging, notifications and a panic button in one device.

• Broadcast to a group or everyone in a facility to follow a protocol such as lockdown or shelter in place.
• Press the panic button to open a direct communication channel to a response team or 911.
• Say, “Okay Vocera” to wake up the device and initiate conversation.

Stryker's communication technology integrates with other campus safety technologies to help speed law enforcement response and allow broad communication in the event of a threat or environmental emergency.

Discover how Stryker's solutions can equip staff to communicate quickly and broadly every day – and to take fast, appropriate action to help protect students and each other in an emergency.

Hands-free communication for long-term care communities

Equip staff to be connected, protected and responsive

Make it easier for staff to locate and reach each other across long-term care communities with Stryker’s lightweight, wearable Smartbadge. The Smartbadge brings together voice calling, secure messaging, notifications and a panic button in one device.
