B7 Button Wristband
A wearable wristband with an emergency (SOS) button compatible with the Quuppa AoA system, enabling accurate location for personnel and patient management when integrated with RTLS (real-time locating system) solutions. It is the evolution of the B6 medical wristband, adding emergency call and NFC functions.
Built on a Bluetooth® 5.0 hardware platform with an nRF52 chip, it broadcasts iBeacon and Eddystone (UID, URL, TLM) and includes a built-in accelerometer sensor, delivering high value for Bluetooth® IoT networks.

How It Works
In an emergency (a fall, for instance), the user presses the help button. The signal, along with the device position, is sent to the responsible team to dispatch help. BLE gateways collect the wristband data and feed the tracking system, which can be integrated with digital maps to follow the flow of people by area.
Compatibility with Quuppa AoA and RTLS makes it possible to locate the wearer accurately indoors — essential for fast responses in emergency scenarios.
