Healthcare

There are more than 18 million healthcare practitioners in the United States, and a percentage of these workers provide a service that are outside an office or hospital environment.   While caring for patients on the streets or providing a service in a patients home, healthcare workers are vulnerable to violence while in duty. Healthcare workers can use lone worker technology such as a check-in system as part of their risk assessment strategy or declare an SOS alarm discreetly should they face aggression while working alone or with other colleagues.
