Personal communication between medical staff and patients is essential for the healing process, but it can be quite time consuming. Maintaining a communicative bedside manner is even more challenging in times like the Covid-19 crisis, as attending to patients in their rooms requires frequent changes of the personal protective equipment.
Video Intercom Stations
Staying in close contact with patients from a distance
Maintaining personal contact
Our id5 Intercom Stations with touch screen are a proven recipe for maintaining personal contact with patients in sound and vision. Seeing the person one is talking to conveys a much better sense of closeness than a common microphone/loudspeaker solution would. This way, it is possible to maintain a high level of bedside care even from a social distance.
Especially in an emergency patients must be able to call for help easily and from any physical position. To enable extra-easy call activation, the Intercom terminals are equipped with signal inputs for classic call push-buttons and pull strings. If required, the device can also control indicator lights, and its user interface can be tailored to individual requirements.
Digital doctor's rounds
Doctors, too, can contact their patients more quickly and easily from their in-house office to save time and avoid contamination.
Thanks to their touch screen, the terminals allow additional functions to be offered as well (e.g., choosing from a lunch menu) or for providing on-screen news and information to patients Further functions can be added as needed.
Hygiene is key!
The devices’ glass front panel is easy to clean and can stand even hospital-strength cleaning agents.
Loud and clear in medical environments
The outstanding audio quality of Commend’s communication equipment is essential in the acoustically challenging environment of healthcare facilities. Extra-high speech intelligibility makes it easy for patients and staff to make themselves be heard. This works even at a distance from the microphone, so patients won’t have to sit up to make a call. Best of all, they can even answer calls (e.g., from a nurse’s station) without lifting a finger.
- High speech intelligibility even at a distance from the device itself, thanks to 2 built-in microphones
- Background noise suppression (e.g., air purifiers, medical equipment, etc.)
- Extra-high volume capacity and automatic volume adjustment
- Easy, intuitive operation
Quick, easy to install and connectivity
An IP cable is all it takes to get the Intercom Station going. Each device comes pre-configured and can easily be adjusted to individual needs via a remote connection.
The stations’ extensive connectivity support includes the ability to:
- connect with Commend or SIP servers and/or telephone systems (SIP-PBX)
- integrate with video management software (VMS)
- connect to other equipment via I/Os, KNX or Modbus and more
