Nice, I wish they had a picture of the thing.
The transporter would be nice too, but I would rather have the phaser. Set only to "stun" of course.

The Vocera communicators allow nurses to reach staff simply by saying their name.

And no one sees a problem when people are gossiping about someone else.... and says their name... and the person being gossiped about is suddenly included in the conversations?
