1 in 4 nurses experience a workplace violence incident. Hospitals are challenged to keep nurses safe, reduce turnover associated with this troubling trend, and continue to provide quality care, but most “solutions” fail to actually make nurses safer.
Equipping staff members with RTLS smart badges → mobile panic buttons → enables nurses to call for help instantly and discreetly, immediately dispatching assistance or security to their real-time location wherever they may be in the hospital.
As part of our full suite of staff safety solutions, Kontakt.io’s Smart Badge 3 Mini provides safety for clinical staff in a form and format that fits daily use and builds trust among staff members. Wearable duress buttons like the Smart Badge 3 Mini are highly versatile and can be programmed to trigger alerts across multiple channels, including security personnel, nearby staff members, and public address (PA) systems, ensuring that the right responders are notified instantly.
These devices also deliver location alerts in real-time, dynamically updated as the staff member moves, maintaining precise situational awareness. Furthermore, the system provides user-friendly analytics dashboards that support data-driven decision-making, helping administrators optimize staffing strategies and allocate resources more effectively based on historical patterns and response data.

- Lighter, smaller form factor for 24/7 wearability and comfort
