Communications Systems

Vocera Communications, now a part of Stryker Corporation, is a leading provider of clinical communication and workflow solutions for the healthcare industry. The company's platform integrates with more than 150 clinical and operational systems, including electronic health records, nurse call systems, and physiological monitors, to provide real-time communication and data to care teams. Its flagship products include the Vocera Badge and Smartbadge, wearable devices that enable hands-free, voice-controlled communication among clinicians. By streamlining workflows and reducing alarm fatigue, Vocera's technology aims to improve patient safety, staff productivity, and the overall experience of care. The company was acquired by Stryker in early 2022 for approximately $3 billion to bolster its digital healthcare portfolio.
