Nightingale Duress

Nightingale Duress is a lightweight companion app designed to work exclusively with the Nightingale App, a critical nurse call and alerting platform used in aged care and hospital environments.

This app allows specific physical buttons on supported Android devices such as the SOS, PTT, or Fn keys to trigger duress alerts by launching this app in the background. When triggered, the app instantly sends a secure broadcast to the Nightingale App to initiate a duress call, then closes automatically without showing any user interface.

Key Features:
- Seamless integration with physical hardware buttons
- Invisible, background operation for rapid emergency activation
- Designed for use in staff safety and emergency response workflows

Important:
This app does not function independently and requires the Nightingale App to be installed and set up. If Nightingale is not installed, a message will appear indicating this requirement.

For more information about the Nightingale platform, please contact your healthcare IT administrator or support team.
