LINUCARE HUB

Always active. Always online. Always an extra safety net.

The Linucare Hub is a stationary gateway that receives alarms directly from Linucare's Bluetooth devices – without depending on the employee's phone being nearby, charged, or switched on.

An extra layer of security

The Linucare Hub is built for environments where safety must not depend on whether an employee's phone is on, charged, or within range. The hub acts as a local, always-on Bluetooth receiver that picks up alarms from Linucare's buttons and forwards them directly to the alarm centre or designated responders.

In the healthcare and care sector in particular, we have seen a growing need for a solution where the alarm buttons are not tied to the individual employee's phone. This significantly reduces the risk of false alarms and Bluetooth confusion – and ensures that help arrives, even if the phone has been left behind at the office.

The hub also monitors its own connection. If it loses contact with the internet or the central, the system automatically sends a notification, so no one is left believing everything is fine when it isn't. To make the solution even more robust, the Linucare Hub can be fitted with a SIM card as backup, allowing it to keep sending alarms over the mobile network if Wi-Fi or ethernet should fail.

Together, this delivers a solution that is significantly safer, more operationally stable, and more reliable than a phone-only setup – an extra safety net that is always on guard.

How it works in practice

A typical Linucare Hub setup in a care environment.

Illustration of the Linucare Hub in use in a care environment.

When an employee presses a Linucare button anywhere in the building, the Linucare Hub picks up the signal and forwards the alarm – both to the central and to colleagues' phones, so the nearest can respond fastest.

The alarm contains precise information about who is calling for help, where, and when. Colleagues can confirm with a single tap that they are on their way, so there is no doubt about who is responding.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions we get most often about the Linucare Hub.

No. Linucare works fully without a hub – the button pairs directly with the employee's phone over Bluetooth. The hub is an optional add-on for environments where an extra, phone-independent security layer is desired.

When employees mainly work within the same four walls – e.g. in care homes, residential facilities, or offices – and where the alarm must not depend on whether the individual's phone is charged or within range.

Yes. Each Linucare button can be named individually – e.g. "Room 1", "Bathroom" or "Medicine room". When the hub receives an alarm, staff and the central immediately know exactly which button was pressed – and therefore where in the building help is needed.

Yes. Many customers combine both: one button in each room (named after the room) and a personal button for each employee. That way you see both where the alarm is coming from and who is calling for help.

Yes. The hub complements the existing solution. The alarm can go via both the hub and the employee's phone, giving you maximum redundancy.

The hub monitors its own connection and automatically sends a notification if it loses contact. If you have chosen SIM backup, the alarm signal continues via the mobile network even if Wi-Fi or ethernet should fail.
