All Crucial Functionalities for Enabling Mission-Critical Communication in One Dependable Device

SECTOR UPDATE - Ascom

Healthcare providers are aware of digital technology's potential to help reduce ascending costs galvanised by persistent industry challenges, such as staff shortage and increasing care demand.

In the thick of acute staff shortages in healthcare, streamlining on-site communications and addressing information gaps at the point of care are also crucial to boosting staff productivity and improving patient outcomes.

Ascom has released a new professional smartphone that provides effective communication, better coordination, and improved efficiency. Combined with the Ascom Healthcare Platform (AHP), the new device further elevates Ascom’s healthcare solutions, allowing seamless workflow continuity and care delivery. Thereby adding significant value to the clinician.

The Ascom Myco 4 is more than just a phone; it combines the features and functions of several devices into a single rugged, enterprise-grade smartphone – an ideal interface for staff and management who are looking for smarter communication and collaboration at work:

• Helping care facilities and businesses reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) with a single device that meets the use cases of multiple work devices, such as separate use of barcode scanner and workstation
• Reducing replacement and repair costs, resulting from a robust design and a much longer lifetime
• Longer battery life with hot-swap functionality to maximize workflow continuity without interruption
  

With a larger and more vivid 5.5-inch multi-colour and full HD LED display, Ascom Myco 4 allows users to easily determine alert types and priority levels and quickly access relevant and business-critical information. Thus, increasing the user efficiency, saving time, and making better decisions in their daily work.

It enables mission-critical communications with highly optimised wireless technology that ensures consistent connectivity for mobile staff. Its operating system, built on the Android Open-Source Project, embraces open industry standards that allow greater and seamless interoperability.

This new model features a man-down alert function when a user is debilitated, and an optional pull-cord alarm to prevent the device from getting seized. Besides, the device has multiple built-in location technologies, including GPS, IR location, and Bluetooth Low Energy location, to pinpoint the user's last known whereabouts and direction in case of emergencies.

Additionally, the safety of patient health information is more than ever ensured with enhanced Android security with app sandboxing. It also has better water, dust, and shock resistance and a higher-performance barcode scanner with LED illumination.

With a robust design meant for shared and continuous use across multiple shifts and a much longer lifetime, Ascom Myco 4 not only improves operational efficiency and productivity but also helps reduce the total cost of ownership.

Ascom CEO Nicolas Vanden Abeele: "Ascom is committed to providing mission-critical, near real-time solutions for highly mobile, ad-hoc, and time-sensitive environments. The Myco 4 has been developed to offer our customers superior business value, providing new and innovative features to enable greater workflow efficiency, and improved safety and support for staff and patients."
