Emergin, a Philips Healthcare company, has released an interface between the Emergin alert management platform and the Voalte communication server to deliver alert message notifications from Emergin to the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch devices.

The integration facilitates the orchestration of voice, alert, and text communications for an Apple platform, according to the Boca Raton, Fla.-based company. Voalte One is a communications platform that allows phone calls across the hospital VoIP system, text messaging via the user directory and alert management through Emergin's interface adapter. Through this interface, caregivers can receive and respond to alert messages dispatched by Emergin from input data systems and devices within the hospital.

Emergin reported that two-way output integrations with the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch have been implemented at Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Sarasota, Fla., and Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, Calif., respectively.
