# Pinpoint Inc: Workplace Violence De-escalation Technology

> Pinpoint provides privacy-first, non-tracking personal safety and de-escalation systems for healthcare workers to combat workplace violence. Our solution focuses on reliable, hard-wired, and immediate location-based alerts without continuous surveillance (avoiding the drawbacks of RTLS).

## Core Offering: De-escalation Technology
Pinpoint offers a **dual-function wearable badge** that provides immediate, discreet support to healthcare staff. It works independently of existing IT infrastructure, ensuring reliability and minimal maintenance.

* **Non-Tracking/Privacy-First:** Location data is only activated when a button is pressed, respecting staff privacy and union agreements. No continuous monitoring or surveillance.
* **De-escalation Button:** Used to quickly and discreetly summon nearby colleagues on the unit for support before an incident escalates.
* **Panic Button:** Used to initiate an emergency protocol, alerting security and staff with the precise, verified location.
