Pagers and DECT phones
Traditional systems are expensive to maintain, do not scale and lack integration with smartphones. The result: delayed responses and unnecessary risk.

Background
What is nurse call?
Nurse call is a system that lets residents in care homes raise the alarm in an emergency, and lets care staff receive these alerts immediately and act on them. A well-functioning nurse call system combines sensors in the resident’s living environment with software that sends alerts to the right carer: at the right time, in the right place. Together, nurse call and assistive care technology form one intelligent safety net, from signal to action.
How does a nurse call system work?
A modern nurse call system registers a call, for example a press on a pendant or wrist transmitter or a sensor detecting that a resident is getting up, and forwards it in real time. With Daza Connect this happens through an app on the carer’s smartphone, with central logging and management in a web portal. This way the right carer receives the alert immediately, without a pager or DECT phone. Read more about the wireless nurse call system and the nurse call app.
Active and passive alarming
Nurse call comes in two forms. With active alarming, the resident presses the call bell themselves, for example the button on the pendant. With passive alarming, sensors take over the detection: an infrared bed sensor that notices someone getting out of bed, or a door sensor that detects the resident leaving the room. Daza Connect supports both forms in one system.
The nurse call challenge
Why traditional nurse call systems no longer work
Pagers, DECT phones and manual record-keeping no longer fit the way care works today.
Lack of clarity on the floor
Who responds to which alarm? Without central logging, care staff are always one step behind, resulting in duplicated effort or missed care.
No management information
How long did it take before an alert was picked up? Which ward has the most calls? Without data, improvement remains guesswork.

More than software: a noticeable difference in everyday care.
Immediate response
Alerts reach the right carer directly on the smartphone. No detours, no missed pager calls: action at the moment it matters.
Calm on the floor

Greater resident safety
Door sensors, bed sensors and pendant and wrist transmitters in one system. Residents know that help is always within reach, including at night.
Insight for improvement
Reports show response times, peak hours and alarm patterns. Make targeted adjustments based on facts, not gut feeling.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about nurse call
What is Daza Connect?
Daza Connect is a smart nurse call system that delivers real-time alarms straight to carers’ smartphones. It consists of wireless sensors from Daza, an app for care staff and a web portal for administrators.
What happens if nobody responds to an alarm?
Daza Connect then repeats the alert and escalates the alarm according to your organisation’s settings.
Which sensors work with Daza Connect?
Pendant and wrist transmitters, the Optiscan and Bedscan at the bedside, door sensors, panic buttons and pull cords from Daza.
Which devices does the Daza Connect app work on?
On any Android smartphone. Care staff use a shared or a personal smartphone, which can also be used for other applications. This way the carer only needs to carry one device.
How quickly can Daza Connect be up and running?
Within one day. The gateway is placed in a central spot in the building, sensors are paired via the app, the app can be installed straight away and the web portal is accessible from any browser.
How much does Daza Connect cost?
Pricing is tailored and depends on the number of locations, care staff and sensors. There is a fixed amount for purchasing the gateway and sensors; the other costs are covered by a monthly licence.
What is the difference between active and passive alarming?
Active alarming requires an action by the resident, such as pressing the pendant or wrist transmitter. Passive alarming works automatically through sensors, such as a bed sensor that notices someone getting up or a door sensor that notices a resident leaving the room. Daza Connect supports both.
Does Daza Connect support GDPR compliance?
Yes. Daza Connect is hosted entirely in the European Union, and all data is securely stored and processed there.
How do you prevent alarm fatigue among care staff?
By sending alerts only to the care staff who are responsible for the ward concerned. Everyone can see who has cleared which alarm: no duplicate responses, no unnecessary walking.
Does Daza Connect support ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 (the Dutch standard for information security in healthcare)?
Daza Connect has been developed with information security as a priority. Data is stored encrypted and processed on servers in the European Union, with privacy by design and by default, such as segregation of duties and access rights through an authorisation matrix.
How does it differ from a traditional pager system?
A pager system only tells you that something is happening somewhere. Daza Connect sends the alert to the right carer, with the location, room, alarm type and name of the resident, on the smartphone they already carry. Result: faster response, less walking and automatic logging.
