'Sup? From Queens

#1

I’m an internal medicine resident physician, I get between 10-40 pages a day. A friend gave me a pagerduty sticker and I’d like to give some to my fellow residents.

Hi Logan! :wave: That’s awesome! Out of pure curiosity - are you still using physical pagers or do they utilize some other type of alerting hardware?

#3

Both. We have physical pagers and we use an app called “Cureatr” that displays the same pages on our phones as well as allows HIPAA-compliant text and photo communications between users.

That’s wild, thanks for sharing! Does the pager communicate with the app as well or are they silo’d systems? (just curious)

#5

I’m not sure I can fully answer your question being on the user end of both systems.

I can say that the pager can only receive pages.

The Cureatr app will receive the same pages and can also send text/picture messages to other Cureatr users. NB: These text messages will not show up on the user’s pagers.

So I wouldn’t say the systems are silo’d so much as the pager-system is “read-only” by the Cureatr app.
