Smart lone workers

Guardian24, and DevelopIQ have launched a partnership to create a BlackBerry smartphone solution.

DevelopIQ will integrate its awardwinning digital pen solution, branded PaperIQ, with the Guardian24 Lone Worker Support application for the BlackBerry smartphone.

Any mobile worker will be able to trigger a lone worker alert by ticking the Guardian24 alert box printed on a paper form with their PaperIQ digital pen, rather than reaching for their mobile device - which could arouse suspicion when in a vulnerable situation. The Anoto digital pen technology allows a user to write information on a paper form and have it recognised and converted into electronic data.

Should the lone workers safety be compromised they can easily and discreetly summon emergency help.
