A Current Affair has just run a story on nurses being assaulted at work. Watch it if you have not.

There is a part of that story that rarely gets told.

When a nurse is cornered by a violent patient, the thing between them and help arriving is usually a duress button. A pendant, a badge, a phone app. They press it and they trust it.

In Australia, there is no standard for those devices. None.

Nothing defines how quickly an alarm has to reach a monitoring centre. Nothing requires it to carry a location. Nothing requires the wearer to be told when a transmission has failed. Nothing sets a battery life that has to hold up under real operating conditions rather than on a spec sheet. Nothing says where the data is allowed to be stored.

A hospital, an aged care provider or a lone worker fleet buying one of these systems has no benchmark to buy against. A manufacturer building a genuinely good one has nothing to prove it against. Both problems have the same cause.

So we drafted a standard.

Five months of work has gone into it, and it is still only a draft. That is deliberate. Those five months went into reading across the international standards that already exist, mapping every requirement against Australian and New Zealand work health and safety, privacy and radiocommunications law, and working through the practical detail with operators, monitoring centres and the organisations that deploy these systems every day. What it does not yet have is the scrutiny of everyone else.

DR AS/NZS 5765.1:2026 sets minimum requirements, performance criteria and conformity testing for mobile duress, lone worker and personal alarm systems. It builds on the German DIN VDE V 0825 pre-standards, adapted for Australian and New Zealand conditions and law.

It was issued for industry consultation on 1 September 2026 and is open for public comment until 14 December 2026, before submission to Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand.

We are a participant in this market and we say so plainly in the document. That is precisely why it needs to be argued with, in public, clause by clause.

Nurses, WHS reps, unions, aged care and disability providers, manufacturers, integrators, regulators: please make a submission.

Hospitals still running on pager-only clinical communication often defend the decision on reliability grounds. Pagers work when the network is down. Fair point.

But reliability of delivery is only one part of the communication equation. The other parts confirmation, escalation, and audit trail are where paging fails the modern clinical environment.

Consider the difference:

TRADITIONAL PAGING:
- Message sent no delivery confirmation
- No acknowledgement required
- No escalation if ignored
- No audit record of what was sent, received, or actioned
- Cannot route to an on-call schedule in real time

SPOK SECURE MESSAGING:
- Delivery confirmation with timestamp
- Read receipt logged automatically
- Escalation triggered if acknowledgement threshold is missed
- Complete audit trail for every communication event
- On-call schedule integration message reaches the right clinician, not a role

For routine communication, the difference is operational efficiency.
For a critical result or a code event, the difference is patient safety.

Many hospitals use both Spok supports hybrid paging + secure messaging environments, making the transition manageable without a rip-and-replace approach.

Hospitals are still running on pager infrastructure from the 1980s. The hardware has changed slightly. The limitations haven't.

One device for alerts. Another for access. Another for messaging. A separate duress button. Multiple systems, multiple failure points, multiple things for staff to carry and manage on a 12-hour shift.

Infrafon changes the calculus entirely.

At HIMSS 2026 APAC, inTechnology will be introducing the Infrafon CC2 a credit card-sized smart badge that replaces the pager, the duress device, the access card, and the messaging terminal. In one centrally managed device. No app installation. No end-user configuration required.

Staff safety alerts with precise location. NFC access control updated remotely in real time. Secure messaging. Full audit trail. All managed from a single operator platform.

For hospital operations leaders, security managers, and clinical informatics teams ready to retire legacy infrastructure this is the conversation to have.

2,200+ hospitals. 70 million messages per month. More than 30 years of clinical communication innovation.

When we say Spok is trusted by the world's leading hospitals, that includes institutions regularly recognised as the best in their countries facilities where the standard of clinical communication directly reflects the standard of patient care.

For APAC healthcare leaders evaluating clinical communication infrastructure, that track record matters.

It means:
- The platform has been tested at scale, across diverse hospital environments
- The integrations with EHR, LIS, nurse call, and building management systems have been refined over decades
- The compliance architecture HIPAA, HITECH, NSQHS aligned is built into the platform, not retrofitted
- The implementation methodology has been refined across hundreds of deployments
- The outcome data is real: reduced communication delays, improved clinician satisfaction, documented compliance evidence

Bringing that track record to APAC is what inTechnology Distribution does. We are the authorised APAC distributor for Spok, with implementation capability across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.

The question for APAC hospital leaders is not whether Spok works. It's whether you're ready to have the conversation.

We'll be on the floor at HIMSS 2026 APAC in Singapore.

We're heading over with four healthcare technology solutions that address some of the most persistent operational challenges in hospitals and health networks across the region:

- Clinical communication: Keeping care teams aligned and response times down
- Clinical mobility: Devices built for the ward, not the boardroom
- Real-time location: Knowing where your people and assets are, precisely
- Staff safety: Replacing pager-era infrastructure with something that actually works

If you're attending HIMSS and want to see any of these solutions in action or if you'd like a focused conversation about how they apply to your environment now's the time to reach out.

Our team will be at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, 23–25 August.

Send us a message. Let's make the week count.

In a hospital, knowing where people and critical equipment are in real time can directly impact clinical workflows, staff safety and patient care.

That’s where Quuppa BLE 5.1 RTLS comes in.

Using Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) indoor positioning, Quuppa combines BLE tags, ceiling-mounted locators and the Quuppa Positioning Engine to deliver sub-metre, real-time location intelligence across healthcare environments.

One location platform can help enable:

• Staff safety and faster duress response
• Asset tracking for critical equipment
• Patient flow and movement visibility
• Location intelligence for staff, patients and equipment

BLE tags transmit location signals. Ceiling locators detect signal direction. The Quuppa Positioning Engine turns that data into actionable, real-time location information.

It’s more than knowing where something is. It’s about connecting people, assets and spaces with the location intelligence healthcare teams need.

See Quuppa RTLS in action at HIMSS 2026 APAC.

Not all mobile devices are built for hospitals.

Enterprise smartphones weren't designed for clinical workflows infection control requirements, 12-hour shifts, alarm integrations, and environments where a dropped connection isn't just inconvenient, it's a clinical risk.

At HIMSS 2026 APAC, inTechnology will be showcasing the Spectralink Versity portfolio enterprise-grade handsets purpose-built for the clinical environment.

IP67 rated. Antimicrobial housing. Seamless alarm integration. Designed to operate on clinical-grade Wi-Fi infrastructure and tested against the demands of acute care, aged care, and community health settings.

The Versity isn't a consumer device in a hospital. It's built from the ground up for the people and environments that need it most.

If your clinical workforce is still carrying consumer devices on the floor, there's a better way.

The workforce that drives healthcare, retail, hospitality, and manufacturing doesn't work from desks.

They work from wards, shop floors, hotel corridors, and loading docks. They move continuously. They need their communication tools to move with them without breaking, without dropping calls, and without requiring a charging break mid-shift.

That's exactly what Spectralink's Versity range was designed for.

Deskless workers deserve the same communication capability, the same data access, and the same security as their desk-based colleagues.

The Versity 97 delivers it in the most rugged, reliable, and capable enterprise smartphone form factor on the market.
