The Sparkgap system can be effectively used for alerting in hospitals for the following reasons:
- The Sparkgap system can be used to alert staff members to a code blue situation to anyone in the building.
- Since the messages are encrypted, the hospital can still maintain proper HIPPA requirements regarding transmitting patient information and electronic interference.
- With a roaming agreement from a national 2-way carrier, the nurses and doctors can carry their devices home with them for personal use.
