Psychiatric emergencies: how to anticipate and act without delay?

Each alert is sent via several channels (SMS, email, voice call, push notification) in order to ensure rapid response. The system prioritizes internal emergency services, but can relay information to a remote monitoring center if necessary.

The discreet listening function allows doubts to be removed without disturbing the work environment. Neovigie is not limited to reacting to incidents.

Thanks to detailed analysis reports, it is possible to identify recurring risks and optimize security protocols for enhanced prevention.

Caregiver protection: intelligent and automated activation

Choosing Neovigie means offering your teams protection for isolated workers at the cutting edge of innovation.

No need for manual manipulations: the  system is activated automatically according to service schedules, thus avoiding omissions in start-up.

For greater security, it is also possible to program alarms in the event of a delay in service delivery or the end of service.

Unlike standard systems, Neovigie's fall detection uses artificial intelligence. Neovigie differentiates as follows:

  • Automatic validation: Caregivers who pass near the bluetooth beacons automatically validate their point of passage
  • Automatic reminder: In order to avoid false alarms, it is possible to program an automatic reminder, so that the user thinks about validating his crossing point.
  • Alerts in case of non-completion: If a scheduled attendance declaration is not made within the time limit, an alert is sent to verify the situation.
