The next thirty seconds

One press. Five things happen, quickly and in order.

  1. A healthcare worker in scrubs with a Firefly device clipped to her ID badge.Step 01 · Alert
    Step 1. Alert

    The press becomes a signal.

    One tap on the wearable initiates an alert with a haptic confirmation on the device. The clinician knows it went through before they look down — even with hands full.
  2. Step 02 · Locate
    Step 2. Locate

    Down to the room, not the wing.

    Firefly resolves position to the floor and room — not the unit or the building — using our proprietary mesh network. No external network required.
  3. A wall-mounted Firefly device with a glowing indicator on a dark panel, with a hospital security responder approaching down a glass-enclosed corridor in soft focus.Step 03 · Verify
    Step 3. Verify

    Context, before chaos.

    The alert is enriched with the responder's last known position, the unit's response plan, and the type of incident, before anyone is asked to make a decision.
  4. An empty, low-lit hospital corridor receding into the distance.Step 04 · Broadcast
    Step 4. Broadcast

    The right team, not all of them.

    Firefly routes the message to the right responders by unit, by time of day, by incident type — security, charge nurse, code response, behavioral health team — and can lock doors, broadcast over speakers, and notify Slack, Teams, radio, and more.
  5. A hospital security officer or charge nurse in scrubs walking with calm purpose down a clinical hospital corridor.Step 05 · Action
    Step 5. Action

    Hands free, eyes up.

    Responders move with a clear instruction set, a live operating picture, and a clean log. The clinician who pressed the button gets steady feedback the entire time — even if they can't look down at the device.
One quick line

Curious how this would route in your hospital?

We will follow up with a brief, no-pressure walkthrough.

In a hospital, the gap between alert and action is where things go wrong.

Firefly helps staff trigger a response that is confirmed, located, and routed with far less confusion — across staff duress, visitor incidents, and behavioral health.

And because the system runs on its own mesh, it keeps working when Wi-Fi or power don't.

Built for healthcare

What happens next is Firefly.

Hospitals don't have one kind of emergency. Firefly is designed for the full spread. Staff duress, visitor incidents, behavioral health, off-site coverage, without forcing each into the same workflow.
  1. 01

    Staff duress

    A discreet wearable for nurses, techs, and physicians. The first move is silent, not a public alarm.

  2. 02

    Visitor and behavioral incidents

    Different routing for different incidents. Behavioral health team for one, security for another, code response for a third.

  3. 03

    Off-site and visiting staff

    Home-health visits, outpatient sites, in-transit teams. The button works the same. The response adapts.

  4. 04

    Resilient when the building isn't

    If Wi-Fi has a bad day or power goes down, the panic button system should not join it. Firefly's mesh keeps running.

The Firefly difference

The button is the input.
The response is our product.

Most systems escalate everything the same way. Firefly does not. It can route by unit, time of day, incident type, and response plan, with clear feedback to the clinician who pressed the button and a much cleaner path for the people responding.
Routes by
Site
ED. ICU. Med-surg. Behavioral health. Outpatient. Parking.
Time of day
Day shift. Night shift. Weekend skeleton crew.
Incident type
Staff duress. Visitor escalation. Behavioral. Code response.
Response plan
Security. Charge nurse. Behavioral team. Off-site dispatch.
Make safety your advantage

The first seconds
are not the time
for guesswork.

Firefly gives clinical teams a faster, clearer path from alert to action — even when the building is having a bad day.
