The company explained: “While our Annunciator directs staff to the precise location of an emergency call quickly, and helps with general wayfinding for patients and visitors at other times, the Touchpoint – a versatile compact touchscreen station featuring two-way
VoIP calling – helps reduce avoidable interruptions to nurses and care teams. Its suite of apps includes alarm list, workflow, and room
information, via HL7 messages. It is an ideal user interface for any digital transformation initiative, effectively reducing alarm fatigue and quietening the healing environment.” Touchpoint has been launched ‘as a lower cost alternative’ to the Application Station, but, Austco says, ‘is just as versatile, and requires less space for installation’. It added: “If mobile solutions are required, the iOS and Android-compatible Pulse Mobile app lets clinical staff manage alarms and workflow, and remote control the nurse call system – including VoIP – all from their smartphone / handheld device, so they do not need to be at the staff base.”

It added: “This milestone is not merely the result of recent efforts, but it culminates months of dedicated work and years of fostering solid partnerships with users, customers, and international dealers.”
