The Ascom Myco is designed around the needs of the nurse,
from its size, weight and toughness to the presentation of
information and the management of clinical workflows.
Ascom Wireless Solutions, a global provider of mission-critical
communication systems, has introduced a revolution in the working
practices of nurses with the launch of the new Ascom Myco
smartphone this month. It is the first nurse- and patient-centric
device, with unique features designed to make the nurse’s working
day easier, improve efficiency and give more time for hands-on
patient care. The Ascom Myco is the result of extensive research
looking at how nurses work, from patient- and colleague
interactions to information flows and mission-critical
communications. Ascom Design Engineers studied nurses in hospitals
around the world using qualitative interviews, observations and
shadowing the nurses as they worked on the wards. The findings were
fed into the design features of the Ascom Myco smartphone and the
user interface.

Less time on technology – more time with patients
According to the research a major issue with the nurse’s
environment is stress, which can make it difficult to overview a
situation and make an informed decision. Linnea Fogelmark,
Portfolio Experience Designer at Ascom, explained the value of the
user-centric design: “We want nurses to spend less time on
technology and more with the patient, so we developed a whole new
way of presenting information, which we call the patient-centric
interface. With the Ascom Myco the nurse will immediately see in
the home screen the patients assigned to her and which patients
currently need her special attention. The Ascom Myco also has an
intelligent segregation of essential apps from non-essential apps,
so that mission-critical communications always overrule- all other
applications.”
Reducing alarm fatigue
Ascom also found that one major issue in the nurses’ working
environment was alarm fatigue, due to the high amount of alarms
that nurses are exposed to from multiple devices for monitoring
patients. The Ascom Myco makes sure the correct alarm is sent out
directly to the responsible nurse. A unique top display shows what
type of alarm is going off, where it is and how important it is,
giving as much information as possible in a single glance, even
when the device is held in a pocket. The reduction of alarm fatigue
and stress ensures that the nurse can concentrate more on patient
care.
Ellen Österdahl, Lead Experience Designer for Ascom Myco,
added:
“We were quite shocked when we saw the amount of alarms that
nurses are exposed to and the extent of alarm fatigue. Nurses are
always occupied, so each time an alarm is received they are
interrupted. Not every nurse needs to focus on every alarm going on
around her. With the top display on the Ascom Myco the nurse is
notified in a discrete way, she can just look down to the device,
see what’s going on and decide how to react.”
Making life easier for the charge nurse
Ascom Myco is also designed to make the life of the charge nurse
easier. When combined with the Ascom Unite middleware, it extends
the reach of existing clinical systems by delivering time-sensitive
information such as alarms from medical devices and patient
monitors directly to the nurse’s mobile device. The middleware also
has a built-in patient assignment module so the charge nurse can
easily assign patients to the nurses and set an auto-escalation
chain of two or three nurses for responding to the patients’
alarms.
A good return on investment
The Ascom Myco has a rugged design to withstand the physical and
hygiene demands of the hospital environment. With multiple features
for nurse decision support and patient management, and at the same
time being so easy to use, it will become the essential nurse
companion.
Mwila Kapema, Product Marketer at Ascom, explained, “We put a
lot of effort into making the Ascom Myco extremely durable. It has
a much longer operating life than a typical consumer device, both
at the daily level, being available 24 hours a day, and passing
from shift to shift. The Ascom Myco will also last many years
longer than a consumer device, giving the hospital a good return on
investment.”
