Go further with Multitone
We offer much more than just messaging. Thanks to the sheer versatility of our i-Message platform, we can drive digital transformation throughout your hospital. Here are some of the other cutting-edge solutions you can access with i-Message.
Asset tracking
Hospitals are immensely complex operations, with thousands of vital pieces of moveable equipment. Ensuring this equipment is ready for use and quickly located when a patient needs it presents a significant administrative burden. Our RFID or BLE-based asset tracking system automatically logs equipment location as it passes strategically located gateways. The system's workflow features digitise and simplify maintenance processes.
Personal safety alarms
Despite the incredible job performed by NHS staff, healthcare workers are subjected to some of the highest levels of workplace abuse and violence of any profession in the UK. The EkoTek staff safety system is fully wireless, and provides staff with portable alarm fobs they can trigger if they feel unsafe or are attacked. Thanks to a network of signal beacons, the alarm's location is immediately transmitted to designated responders.

Vaccine fridge temperature alarms
Vaccines need to be properly stored throughout their journey up until the point that they're administered. While medical fridges typically have alarms, these can be missed, particularly if they trigger late at night.
Thanks to Multitone's technology, we can link a vaccination centre's vaccine fridges to staff devices, including computers and smartphones. If a fridge suffers technical problems and the temperature rises beyond safe limits, an alert will also be sent directly to these devices, via SMS, email or smart app. This is achieved by connecting the fridge sensors to Multitone i-Message, either on-site or in the Cloud.
By ensuring malfunctioning fridges are attended to quickly, we can prevent vaccines from becoming unusable and ensure a smooth, efficient rollout to the general public.
EkoTek Staff Safety Alarms
NHS staff face high levels of verbal and physical abuse in the workplace compared to people in most professions. Unfortunately, with the vaccination effort aiming to reach the entire population, it is possible that some people turning up at vaccination centres may be aggressive towards staff or other members of the public.
Multitone's EkoTek staff safety alarm system provides staff with portable devices that allow them to call for help at the press of a button. The system automatically transmits their location to designated staff for a rapid response to potentially dangerous situations. Equally, it can be used for medical emergencies.
Another key advantage of the EkoTek system, particularly with regards to temporary vaccination sites, is that it can be installed as a battery-operated, wireless network, with no building rewiring required.
