Press the Button — But Smarter
The button at your hospital bed calls the nurse. New systems also let you say what you need — through a microphone or a few extra buttons. Things like 'I need water' or 'my line beeps.'
AI sorts the requests. A 'water' request can go to a helper. An 'I feel weird' request goes straight to a nurse, fast.
What the system can route
Water, blanket, snack — to a helper
Pain or feeling weird — to a nurse, fast
Bathroom — to whoever can come
Family question — to the front desk
The big idea: the smarter call button means help shows up faster and from the right person.
