SSG and Broadtech unveil Acelo, a revolutionary IP Nurse Call system that delivers the most advanced feature set in an intuitive plug and play design

SSG (Static Systems Group), a global leader in advanced technological solutions, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Broadtech, a renowned technology solutions provider in New Zealand. Together, SSG and Broadtech are excited to bring the ground-breaking Acelo Nurse Call System to healthcare facilities across the country. Acelo is a “plug and play” nurse call solution specifically engineered to deliver timely and effective communication, enabling healthcare providers to deliver prompt, personalized, and efficient responses to patient needs.

The collaboration between SSG and Broadtech marks a significant milestone in the New Zealand healthcare sector. By combining SSG's cutting-edge Acelo Nurse Call System with Broadtech's extensive expertise in technology integration, the partnership aims to enhance patient safety, streamline workflows, and optimize care coordination.

Designed during the COVID pandemic to revolutionize the delivery of compassionate patient care while maximizing infection control, Acelo uses cutting edge, two-way speech-based communications technology to provide instant, touch-button reassurance for patients, as well as maximizing staff efficiency, in hospitals, clinics, and longer-term care facilities.

Acelo provides a unique, proprietary, layer of advanced analytics capabilities, enabling the monitoring of patient call patterns, staff response times, and other key metrics to perfect patient care while increasing staff efficiency, allowing managers to make informed decisions about staffing and resource allocation, to achieve peak efficiency and outcomes.

Installation time and serviceability are optimised, giving users the guarantee of low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), while maintaining the highest levels of equipment uptime. Acelo is robust and resilient, delivering unparalleled performance by offering scalable versatility to meet the rapidly changing needs of digitally enabled hospitals. LAN connectivity allows peer to peer communications, so all nurse call devices are interconnected and patients and health carers are directly connected via voice calls.

This seamless integration with existing hospital infrastructure provides a scalable architecture that ensures compatibility with future technological advancements and safeguards healthcare facilities' long-term investment.

"We are delighted to partner with Broadtech in introducing the SSG Acelo Nurse Call System to healthcare facilities in New Zealand," said SSG’s Commercial Director, Gareth Walsh. "Broadtech's deep knowledge of the local market and their commitment to innovation align perfectly with our vision of transforming healthcare delivery. This partnership represents a powerful combination of expertise and resources to revolutionise patient care in New Zealand.

“The timing for the launch of Acelo could not be better. Around the world, there are now seemingly unsurmountable pressures on hospital systems and staff that demand radical thinking and new technological solutions. Acelo delivers immediately deployable, state-of-the-art, resilient, communications technology to instantly reduce inefficiencies in hospital working practices to release staff time, while improving patient care and satisfaction.

“Instrumental for hospital staff being able to deliver optimal care is precise, real-time communications that allow the right person to be deployed to the right place at the right time. Acelo is more than just a way of communicating, it is a new way for healthcare assistants, porters, crash teams, specialists, catering teams, receptionists and nurses to focus on their specific role, and feel more in control, empowered and fulfilled as they deliver optimal patient care.

“For us, the most exciting element of Acelo is that it’s a core enabler for hospitals to connect with their patient meaningfully and quickly and for the hospital to both prioritise and streamline their communications and optimise their teams. Acelo can help manage patient needs faster than previously possible, whilst reducing alarm fatigue and other time and resource inefficiencies for staff. With Acelo, patients are enabled to speak to an appropriate person, who can arrive at the bedside faster and ready to care.”

By deploying the SSG Acelo Nurse Call System, healthcare providers in New Zealand can expect transformative benefits, such as enhanced patient safety, improved staff productivity, and streamlined care coordination. The system's advanced features not only facilitate faster response times but also contribute to a more patient-centred and efficient healthcare environment.

"We are excited to be introducing this innovative product into the New Zealand healthcare environment," said Merv Taylor, Managing Director of Broadtech. "The SSG Acelo Nurse Call System, combined with Broadtech's expertise and nation-wide support teams, offers a comprehensive solution for healthcare facilities across Aotearoa. This innovative system empowers healthcare providers to communicate seamlessly, respond promptly to patient needs, and ensure an environment that prioritises patient well-being, a real transformation in the delivery of optimal patient care.

“We remain committed to collaborating closely with healthcare institutions to improve patient outcomes, increase staff efficiency and to ultimately enable an elevated standard of care and equity across the country's healthcare sector. Acelo is a key enabler of this goal”.
