Staff management smartwatch for hospitals, hotels, airports & govt. WachMe offers indoor tracking, controlled communication & data security.
Modern organisations face growing pressure to manage staff efficiently while maintaining safety, accountability, and data protection. Traditional tools like CCTV, smartphones, and pagers only solve fragments of this problem. Enterprise wearables introduce a more controlled and intelligent approach. WachMe represents this shift by combining tracking, communication, and security into a single-purpose smartwatch platform.
WachMe is not designed and engineered as a controlled enterprise wearable system intended for regulated, security-sensitive, and operationally demanding workplaces. Instead of giving users full device freedom, WachMe follows an employer-governed model where behaviour, communication, and features are centrally managed.
A dedicated-purpose wearable endpoint connected to a centralised command and policy engine
This design mirrors enterprise mobility management (EMM/MDM) concepts, but adapted specifically for wearable devices.
Unlike consumer smartwatches, WachMe prioritises predictability, compliance, and operational reliability over entertainment or personalisation.
Complex institutions share similar workforce management difficulties regardless of industry.
Administrators often lack real-time awareness of staff movement, especially indoors. CCTV coverage is limited to line-of-sight areas. Manual supervision is inconsistent. GPS fails inside buildings. This creates blind spots affecting duty compliance, response coordination, and auditability of staff presence.
Dependence on phones, intercoms, or pagers introduces delays. Smartphones cause distraction and policy violations. Pagers lack voice and contextual intelligence. Uncontrolled calling channels create noise, misuse, and reduced operational discipline.
Lone workers, night shifts, and dispersed staff remain vulnerable during emergencies. Delayed distress reporting increases incident severity. Traditional systems rarely provide instant, wearable-based SOS escalation with location awareness.
Smartphones enable unauthorised photography, recordings, messaging, and social sharing. Sensitive environments struggle to enforce no-phone policies without disrupting communication needs. Insider misuse becomes a persistent risk.
WachMe uses Wi-Fi proximity detection for indoor positioning and a hybrid stack of GPS, LBS, and Wi-Fi for outdoor tracking. This layered approach enables continuous staff visibility across buildings and open areas, improving movement awareness, response coordination, and operational accountability without relying solely on satellite signals.
WachMe enforces communication governance through centrally managed contact whitelists. Only approved numbers can call or message. It supports GSM, M2M SIM, and Wi-Fi calling modes. This reduces distractions, prevents unauthorised interactions, and ensures staff communication remains aligned with institutional protocols and security requirements.
WachMe integrates a dedicated SOS mechanism enabling immediate distress alerts with live location transmission. Automatic escalation rules can notify supervisors or security teams. This wearable-based emergency response shortens reaction times, enhances lone worker protection, and supports faster intervention during medical, safety, or security incidents.
WachMe restricts social media, third-party apps, and unauthorised data transfer channels. The locked operating system prevents configuration tampering. Absence of USB data mounting limits file extraction risks. These structural controls minimise insider threats, reduce sensitive information exposure, and support compliance-driven workplace security policies.
| System | Functional Limitations | Operational Risk |
| Smartphone | Distracting, user-controlled, unrestricted apps | Data leakage, misuse, non-compliance |
| Feature Phone | Voice/SMS only, no intelligence | No tracking, limited coordination |
| Pager | Text alerts only, no voice/context | Delayed response, no location awareness |
| CCTV | Static, line-of-sight only | Blind spots, passive monitoring |
| WachMe | Integrated tracking + controlled communication + SOS | Designed to reduce misuse & improve oversight |
CCTV provides passive observation.
WachMe provides active, mobile, wearable-based awareness.
Rather than replacing CCTV, WachMe extends visibility beyond camera coverage.
Healthcare environments benefit from reduced distraction and faster coordination.
Wearable communication improves responsiveness without disrupting guest experience.
Large facilities gain improved workforce orchestration.
Critical infrastructure demands predictable, restricted devices.
WachMe operates on a proprietary operating system engineered for restricted enterprise usage. Unlike consumer Wear OS devices, the environment is locked, settings are controlled, and application access is limited. This reduces attack surface, prevents unauthorised modifications, and enforces predictable device behaviour aligned with organisational policies.
Indoor tracking leverages nearby Wi-Fi routers using proximity detection techniques such as RSSI analysis, triangulation, or signal fingerprinting. This enables positioning where GPS fails. Accuracy depends on router density and calibration. The advantage lies in utilising existing infrastructure without deploying dedicated beacons or sensors.
Outdoor tracking combines GPS, GSM-based Location Services (LBS), and Wi-Fi positioning. This layered approach increases reliability across varying signal conditions. If one positioning source weakens, others maintain continuity. Such redundancy is critical for staff working between buildings, campuses, or field locations.
All WachMe devices connect to a centralised Controller dashboard. Administrators configure communication rules, approved contacts, tracking parameters, SOS routing, and feature restrictions. This transforms the smartwatch into a policy-driven endpoint governed by organisational requirements rather than individual user preferences.
Data protection within staff management systems must address both external threats and insider misuse. WachMe applies structural controls instead of relying solely on user discipline.
This design philosophy resembles hardened enterprise terminals and secure communication devices used in regulated sectors.
Technology adoption often fails when staff perceive monitoring systems as intrusive or complex. Wearables succeed when they simplify rather than interrupt workflows.
Because the device is single-purpose, it removes common distractions associated with smartphones, including social media, browsing, and non-work communications.
WachMe can operate using GSM SIM, M2M SIM, or Wi-Fi-only campus deployment. This flexibility allows institutions to design communication and tracking strategies aligned with coverage, security policies, and operational constraints.
Indoor tracking uses already installed routers. No additional hardware is required. Organisations may enhance accuracy through calibration and mapping. This significantly reduces deployment complexity and capital expenditure.
Administrators manage all devices from the Controller dashboard. Contact whitelists, SOS routing, restrictions, and communication policies are defined centrally, ensuring consistency, compliance, and reduced configuration drift across the device fleet.
Deployments can begin with specific departments such as nursing teams, housekeeping, or security staff. Controlled pilots allow calibration of tracking accuracy, battery management, and staff acceptance before scaling organisation-wide.
Staff orientation ensures clarity on usage, privacy boundaries, and operational benefits. Transparent communication reduces resistance and builds trust. Wearables perform best when positioned as safety and efficiency tools rather than surveillance devices.
WachMe’s value extends beyond tracking. It influences operational efficiency, supervision overhead, and risk mitigation.
Return on investment is often realised through efficiency gains and incident prevention rather than direct labour reduction.
Institutions increasingly prioritise lone worker protection and rapid emergency escalation. Wearable SOS mechanisms ensure immediate alerts and location sharing, improving response times and reducing severity of workplace incidents.
Hospitals, airports, and government facilities require communication tools without smartphone risks. WachMe enables voice and alerts while enforcing approved contact policies and preventing unauthorised usage.
CCTV remains static and line-of-sight limited. WachMe adds mobile awareness through wearable tracking, helping administrators understand staff distribution, response patterns, and zone occupancy.
Rather than relying on behavioural compliance, WachMe restricts recording, apps, and data transfer at the device level. This reduces insider threat vectors common with unrestricted personal devices.
Planned Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness signals long-term communication security planning. This is particularly relevant for defence, critical infrastructure, and high-security installations.
