Latest wearable technology helps schools meet rising expectations for faster incident communications and responses

MADISON, Wis., March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Singlewire Software, a leader in solutions that help keep people safe and informed, today announced it will showcase its latest product, the InformaCast Wearable Alert Badge at ISC West 2026.

"In a crisis, a teacher's focus should be on their students, not on finding a phone or navigating a complex app," said Terry Swanson, president and CEO of Singlewire Software. "By eliminating the need to search for a device, we bridge the gap between a split-second recognition and a coordinated response."

Answering the Call for Alyssa's Law Compliance

Named in honor of Alyssa Alhadeff, a victim of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, Alyssa's Law is rapidly becoming the standard for school safety across the country. The InformaCast Wearable Alert Badge is purpose-built to meet these rigorous requirements.

When a staff member triggers the "emergency" alert (six or more presses), the system can deliver instant notifications directly to local first responders and dispatchers. This ensures fast and seamless communication to ensure that assistance arrives quickly when it is needed most.

Support for Every Scenario

In addition to emergency alerting, the badge also supports teachers with issues that occur daily in their classrooms and around the school (three presses). This flexibility offers teachers and staff the assurance they need that help will arrive without disrupting the entire school.

Features of the device include:

Location tracking: Provides floor- and room-level accuracy through nearby beacons when the badge is activated. This allows administrators to see exactly where an alert was triggered on a digital map— and even track if a staff member moves to a safer location.Comprehensive integration: Works seamlessly with existing school communication technology, delivering text, audio, and visual alerts to InformaCast-connected desk phones, mobile apps, digital signage, and speakers, offering added value and cost-saving for districts.A proven foundation: With over two decades of experience developing cutting-edge safety software, Singlewire provides a proven foundation through InformaCast, which serves over 1 million users with 99.99% system uptime.See Singlewire Software at ISC West
