Eastern DataComm Announces Webinar for School District Stakeholders Focused on Robust, Comprehensive Emergency Notification and Response, “Why Apps Are Not Enough”

Published

on

HACKENSACK, N.J., Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Eastern DataComm is doing its part to foster safer school environments with its latest efforts to inform school and district leaders on a recent emergency notification and response trend that has some serious limitations: Application-based emergency notification solutions. 

 

“…effective lockdown response goes far beyond just a phone app-based notification system.”

As our country grapples with school shootings nationwide, it is becoming a hard-learned, but valuable lesson for many school administrators and law enforcement officials that effective lockdown response goes far beyond just a phone app-based notification system.

In light of this fact, Eastern DataComm shares its insight in a webinar entitled, “Why Apps Are Not Enough”. This live, interactive presentation explores the complexities and vulnerabilities that many schools experience when it comes to their emergency response during events that warrant a lockdown like an active shooter event.

Whether those complexities include a building with poor cellphone reception (a common issue in many school buildings), access to applications by visitors or substitutes, limited phone access during classes like labs or physical education, or even guidelines for students and educators that impact their access to cell phones during the school day, the presentation will explore the many intricacies that make application-only solutions ineffective in providing comprehensive emergency notification.

The webinar also highlights how a holistic approach to creating the school safety ecosystem can make all the difference when every second counts. This complimentary educational program offers practical guidance for designing a lockdown and emergency response system that suits the unique needs of the school or district.

From choosing efficiency and effectiveness of response as the priority over so-called “security theater”, to identifying the key aspects of an effective, integrated emergency notification and response solution, the webinar highlights where app-only approaches fall short. Participants will learn what it really takes to keep a campus and school community safe.

Mark your calendars for any of the 3 dates/times listed below to participate in this can’t-miss educational opportunity – free of charge.

Tuesday, November 15th at 12 pm ESTWednesday, November 16th at 1 pm ESTThursday, November 17th at 2 pm EST

In addition to Eastern DataComm’s webinar, their team of safety and communications advisors have released a helpful handout and accompanying blog that serve as helpful supporting documents on the topic. We encourage educators, administrators, and families to leverage these assets to gain a greater understanding of what it truly takes to keep schools and districts safe and prevent future tragedies from occurring.

Specified Technologies Inc. Unveils Firestop Clash Management and Locator Updates

Published

By

SOMERVILLE, N.J., Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Specified Technologies Inc. has announced their latest Firestop Clash Management (FCM) and Firestop Locator (FSL) releases. FCM automates the process of locating and assigning firestop solutions to conditions within Autodesk® Revit®, enabling firestop novices to find firestop solutions like a firestop expert. In this latest release, STI has further expanded the capabilities of FCM by integrating it with their firestop documentation and compliance tool, Firestop Locator (FSL). FSL enables contractors and facilities’ teams to document the status, location, and products used for any and all fire life safety services across a building.

In the latest update for FSL, teams can now create custom items to track any service on their project beyond the base six (Penetration, Joint, Extinguisher, Door, Damper, and Barrier). Teams can also modify the base six items to include project specific inspection and maintenance requirements and any other details that they would like to be tracked.

With this new integration, decisions made during the design phase of a building using FCM are seamlessly passed into FSL during the construction phase, giving implementation teams a jump start on work to be done. This integration also improves data integrity and eliminates the guesswork in the field of determining what firestop systems and products are to be used where.

“We’re proud of the latest releases of FCM and FSL and look forward to continuing to support the fire life safety community,” says Justin Pine, Sr. Manager of Software & Services.

Specified Technologies Inc. promotes life and building safety by developing innovative fire protection systems and accompanying digital tools that help stop the spread of fire, smoke, and hot gases. Our SpecSeal® and EZ Path® product lines are engineered for easy installation and deliver powerful performance, often resulting in lower installed costs. Since firestopping is our only business, we concentrate all our resources on providing the highest quality, fully tested, innovative firestopping solutions.

Hankyung.com introduces: MecKare, Leading the AI-powered Innovation in Health Monitoring Solution

– Leading efficient care management for the elderly with unimpeded smartcare

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — JCF Technology is a startup that independently developed ‘MecKare’, a radar sensor that measures biological signals in a non-contact manner, and provides a platform service that automatically connects users and guardians in two-way emergency situations through an artificial intelligence analysis system. Since its establishment in 2016, it has developed a highly accurate non-contact multi-biological radar sensor through many years of technology accumulation, and succeeded in commercializing the product for the first time in 2021.

MecKare uses microwave radar and micro-Doppler signal processing technology to measure the user’s heart rate, respiratory rate, and skin temperature within 16.4 ft in real time. The sensor can measure human body movement patterns using precise and highly responsive thermal infrared rays and can detect falls through pattern analysis based on changes in human movement. In particular, the movement and change of thermal infrared rays within the measurement range are detected in real time, and the trend of biomarkers that appear as advance signs before a person falls can be checked through differential motion detection that measures the user’s movement pattern. It provides an alarm in advance by predicting before a person falls, enabling accuracy and quick response to accidents. As a result, it is possible to prevent safety accidents in the elderly by detecting emergency situations such as lonely death, cardiac arrest, breathing difficulties, and falls. Additionally, unlike other existing wearable devices such as smart watches or bands, MecKare does not need to be worn or attached to the body, so it can be used remotely via Wi-Fi without causing stress to the user.

MecKare can be installed in the bedroom, bathroom, living room, or entrance of a home or facilities(Assisted Living, Nursing Home, etc) to provide 24-hour monitoring without a camera and detect abnormal signs in advance using a biometric information analysis algorithm and deliver them to the guardian.

MecKare’s radar biometric sensor is recognized in the global market for its technology as a device that obtains precisely customized biometric information while overcoming spatial constraints and without risk of privacy infringement. MecKare is being supplied to senior care facilities in Australia, Germany, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and China. In 2025, MecKare plans to conduct verification of vital signs such as attendance, fall prevention, and asthma of elderly people living in hospitals or assisted living in conjunction with local PPOs/HMOs in the United States.

In summary, MecKare is a system that reduces user inconvenience and enables management of multiple patients. By being able to provide personalized health data analysis results, it will serve as an opportunity to change the market paradigm towards preventive smart care. We expect MecKare’s A.I to play a role as an innovator that complements, rather than replaces, humans in care settings.
