System Improves Instant Voice Communication

Comprised of the Vocera System Software and Communications Badge, the Vocera Communications System enables instant voice communication throughout organizations.
A wearable device that weighs less than two ounces, the Vocera Communications Badge can be clipped to a shirt pocket or worn on a lanyard. It enables instant two-way conversation using natural spoken commands, without the need for remembering phone numbers or manipulating handsets.
When live conversation is not necessary, text messages and alerts can be sent to the LCD screen on the back of the Vocera Communications Badge. The system can also connect to the PBX in order to place and receive calls through the public telephone network.
Siemens is integrating the Vocera Communications System into its Soarian health information solution (HIS).
