By the time Byham arrived, the patient had escaped to the stairwell and was surrounded by six hospital staff, each of whom had been automatically notified that a nearby colleague was in distress. Once security arrived, the patient was returned to their hospital bed, and staff resumed rounds uninjured.

“Had it not been for that proximity notification, that patient would have been able to go out the fire escape and run out into the street,” Byham said.
