The rise in home healthcare and nursing home facilities, combined with
technological advancements, has resulted in a significant increase in demand for nurse call systems. Wireless systems and pendants are being extensively used for geriatric patients and patients with restricted movement. Mobility is of extreme significance in cases where the patients locomotive conditions are restricted. Wires may pose some unseemly threats for
critical patients, or patients in the psychiatric ward, as well as geriatric patients. To combat this threat, the demand for wireless systems is growing at an exceedingly fast pace. Manufacturers are also emphasizing improved patient response time as well as the elimination of nurse exhaustion, as timely response to a patient s call is a critical necessity in inpatient care.
