Discreet mobile duress transmitter gives caregivers and staff instant access to help anywhere in a community

 

Westminster, CO (May 4, 2026) -- Inovonics, a leading provider of wireless solutions for life safety and emergency call systems, today announced the EN2242 Duress Card—a discreet, mobile duress transmitter now available to the senior living market. Designed to protect caregivers and staff in challenging situations, the Duress Card gives wearers a sense of safety in the knowledge that a response is en route to their specific location and incorporates a host of new features and capabilities along with Inovonics' proven 900MHz wireless technology.

 

"Caregiver safety is resident safety," said Alycia Ostby, senior product manager for senior living at Inovonics. "When staff feel protected, they can focus on delivering top quality care without concern for their personal safety. We know the role of caretaker is challenging and this card is just for them."

 

Ideal for use across communities of any size, the new Duress Card provides users with the ability to instantaneously report incidents or potentially harmful events. The thin form factor is packed with a unique combination of performance features including:

• The ability to discreetly activate up to three different alarm conditions, allowing responders to quickly react with the most appropriate action to a situation.

• Activation affirmation indicators including LEDs and haptic vibration to silently alert the wearer that an alarm button has been pressed.

• Proven Inovonics 900MHz wireless technology to ensure reliability and range. From high-rise independent living and assisted living communities to sprawling CCRCs and everything in between.

• Location and real-time tracking capabilities to help responders pinpoint precisely where an event is taking place. Especially on a specific floor or in a specific room.

• A waterproof casing allowing the device to be worn in a variety of environments where they may be exposed to water or moisture.

• A sealed long-life battery to ensure continuous operation at times when it's needed most.

Designed for both new construction and seamless upgrades to communities already leveraging Inovonics' wireless infrastructure as part of their emergency call system, the Duress Card is available only through Inovonics emergency call system providers and ships exclusively in packs of five for efficient rollout.

 

Inovonics will be showcasing the Duress Card at the 2026 Argentum Senior Living Executive Conference, May 18–19, Booth #529.
