Why WSPER Panic Buttons Beat Calling 911
Whether it’s a customer collapsing in an aisle or a student having a seizure in class, medical emergencies demand immediate action. In these high-stress moments, dialing 911 often creates friction:
- You’re fumbling for a phone
- You're forced to describe the scene verbally
- You may be placed on hold or routed through call centers
- You’re stuck on the line instead of helping the person in distress
With WSPER panic buttons, that entire delay disappears. One button press instantly alerts the right responders with your location—no words, no waiting, and no need to abandon the scene.
✅ SOP: Responding to Medical Emergencies with WSPER
1. Push the Button
Whether on your lanyard, under the counter, or mounted on a wall, the WSPER button is always within reach.
- Takes 1 second
- Works even if your phone is lost or out of reach
- Alerts your designated emergency response team instantly
2. Location & Identity Are Automatically Shared
Our device transmits:
- The exact GPS location
- The room or store zone (e.g. “Nurse's Office”, “Aisle 4”, “Dressing Room 3”)
- The device name (like “Ms. Ramirez – Room 108” or “Register 2 – Mandeville Store”)
This enables security, management, or EMS dispatch to know exactly where to go.
3. Assist the Victim
With help on the way, you're free to:
- Begin CPR or first aid
- Clear the area or calm nearby students/customers
- Follow internal emergency protocols
- Avoid long, stressful phone calls
4. Monitor & Confirm Response (Optional)
Organizations using Solink or radio/SMS alerts can confirm the panic signal was received in real time.
