FOR GP PRACTICES
Your staff deserve better.
When a patient turns, your receptionist shouldn’t have to raise their voice or hope someone hears. SUMn puts a duress alarm on every practice PC, and you can set it up yourself in minutes.
Free for 30 days. Nothing to pay today.
See SUMn in action
A double-click at reception, and every other PC in the practice alarms at once, showing exactly where help is needed.
Help shouldn’t depend on being heard.
Reception is where tempers rise. When a patient becomes agitated or aggressive, picking up a phone or calling out isn’t always possible, and a wired duress button is slow and costly to install, and often in the wrong place.
The RACGP Standards (C3.5) suggest a duress alarm the practice team can use. SUMn gives you one on every desk, with the computers you already have.

Not just emergencies
Reception can quietly ask the back office for a hand when the waiting room fills up.
Built by a Perth GP.
“After one too many tense moments at our own reception desk, I built SUMn: a duress alarm my team would actually use, on the computers already on every desk, that tells everyone exactly where to go.”
Dr Stuart Arbuckle, GP and founder. SUMn is used every day in a busy Perth general practice.
PRICING
Free for 30 days. Then one small price.
$50 + GST / month
for the whole practice, however many PCs. Nothing is charged for 30 days; cancel before then and you pay nothing. Prefer annual? $500 + GST a year.
Your staff deserve better.
Give them a duress alarm on every PC this week. Set it up yourself, in minutes.
SUMn runs on Windows 10 and 11 PCs on the same practice network. It is a staff communication tool that helps colleagues get help to each other quickly. It is not a monitored alarm service and does not contact police, ambulance or security. In an emergency, call 000.
