When does an emergency phone evolve into something more? For Code Blue Corp. it begins with rethinking how the device functions and interacts with other systems from the ground up.
With the rollout of EmerComm, a new device operating system, Code Blue is challenging the idea of what an emergency communication product can be. With advanced security and functionality, EmerComm brings intelligence to the edge by giving emergency phones and other communication devices the capabilities of a full computer. This means creating a system that views its platform as an agnostic system of sensors and indicators, with phone functionality just one of the many layers it is capable of managing.
“The Internet of things provides tremendous potential for innovation and growth, but as we have seen in the consumer marketplace there remains a deep security issue that safety devices must overcome,” CEO David Cook said. “With EmerComm, Code Blue is building what might be called the Emergency Communication of Things (ECoT), a platform that provides our customers with the same kind of flexibility and durability that they receive from
our Help Points.”
Using this new operating system, Code Blue will be able to offer new products that provide a wide range of applications and functionality. EmerComm will be available in select
models beginning this summer, with a larger rollout coming in 2018.
