Telezorg

When the care home market in the Netherlands asked for a central IT control system that could connect multiple homes, Telezorg, was first-to-market with a solution. Telezorg, an experienced manufacturer of IP-based nurse call communications and automated home healthcare systems, selected Stratus’ ftServer platform to run its critical ComServer system software. The software’s button alarm systems, neck cord alarms, acoustic monitoring, wander prevention tagging, access control and video intercom promote the security, safety, and wellbeing of patients being cared for in smaller, personalized healthcare settings. ftServer systems answered Telezorgs need for guaranteed 24/7 uptime and support of these advanced call and monitoring features.
