Personal security during home visits

Aggression during home visits is a serious problem for general practitioners and other healthcare providers. Incidents can range from verbal harassment to physical attacks, jeopardizing the safety of caregivers and the quality of care. Research shows that the situation is not improving. A Belgian study from 2019 revealed that 84.4% of doctors had already been victims of aggression or violence within the doctor-patient relationship during their career: 77.2% verbal, 41.7% psychological, 24.2% physical and 10.1% sexual violence.

In home care, aggression, inappropriate behavior and possibly even sexual misconduct appear to occur more often, both during and outside home visits. To address these troubling issues, we offer a specific solution. Healthcare providers can use a smartphone with an app that allows them to activate a personal alarm. Colleagues receive the alarm together with the exact location, making quick assistance possible.

This year we are also launching this service from the cloud, allowing small practices to better protect themselves during home visits. Our solution ensures that healthcare providers feel safer and can perform their work with peace of mind.
