Visiting hours, kept at the gate.
Patient-visit passes with the patient and ward, visiting hours enforced at the gate, visitor limits per patient and a full log of contractors, suppliers and deliveries.
What goes wrong without it.
Visiting hours ignored
Visitors arrive at all hours and guards have no consistent way to say no — or record why they said yes.
Crowded wards
Without a limit per patient, wards fill up with visitors and infection control suffers.
Who came to see which patient?
Visitor books rarely capture the patient or ward, so there is no trail when something goes wrong.
Contractors and deliveries
Engineers, suppliers and drug deliveries come and go without induction or a proper log.
Gate control built for patient care.
Visiting hours at the gate
Set your visiting hours. Guards are warned when a visitor arrives outside them and must log a reason to override.
Max visitors per patient
Cap how many visitors a patient can have at a time; the gate is warned when the limit is reached.
Patient-visit passes
Passes carry the patient’s name and ward, plus Google Maps directions to the right building on your hospital map.
Next of kin
Link next of kin to a patient with their own access and permissions.
Contractor & supplier passes
Engineers and suppliers carry passes with company and job, and accept your safety rules at the gate.
Deliveries log
Plate, driver, company, goods and time in and out for every delivery and vehicle.
Staff shifts
Record staff shift hours; guards check a name or staff ID to confirm someone is on shift.
Announcements
Send notices to patients, staff and next of kin with push notifications.
Emergency alerts
One tap sounds a siren on every guard’s phone and reaches the administrator instantly.
How the three apps work for hospitals.

Go live
Visitors show a patient-visit pass; the gate enforces your rules.
The Guard app warns the guard and plays an alert. The guard can turn the visitor away, or override with a written reason — for example a patient in critical condition — and that reason is stored with the guard’s name and the time.
You set a maximum number of visitors per patient at any one time. When that many are already inside with a patient, the gate is warned before letting another in, and any override is logged with a reason.
The visitor’s details plus the patient’s name and ward, so the guard can direct them and the hospital has a full record of who visited whom.
Yes. Contractors and suppliers get passes with their company and job, must accept your safety rules at the gate, and every delivery vehicle is logged in and out.
