VoiceFriend LLC has released StaffAlert™, a voice-activated assistance alert solution designed specifically for senior living communities.
The system’s StaffAlert™ allows seniors to alert the on-duty staff of their need for assistance by saying, “Alexa, ask VoiceFriend to get help,” to their Amazon Alexa-enabled device, said CEO Bruce Baron.
The goal is for residents to alert staff when they cannot locate or reach their call button or phone.
“As a leader in automated notification and communication solutions for senior living communities, we continually strive to develop innovative solutions that help communities improve the safety and well-being of their seniors, while making their staff more efficient and effective,” Baron said. “While StaffAlert is not a replacement for Emergency Alert Systems or call button notifications, it provides an added layer of security and protection by offering seniors a hands-free option for alerting on-duty staff personnel through simple verbal commands.”
There is no additional cost for communities using VoiceFriend Automated Notification Solution, he said.
