The 5 Essential Features in Personal Alarms
#1 Mobile Personal Alarm
Mobile personal alarms operate off a SIM card, just like a mobile phone, ensuring the alarm works when you are out and about, not only at home.
#2 Monitoring Options
Family and friends: In this model, when the alarm is activated, it will contact the predefined emergency contacts on the list. It can contact family, friends, neighbours, and even Triple Zero. There are no monthly monitoring fees with this model, and it is recommended for those who can rely on emergency contacts, in case of emergency.
Professional monitoring: This model connects the personal alarm to a 24/7 monitoring centre, ensuring that you always get a response, at any time of the day or night. This model has a monthly monitoring fee, and it is recommended for those who do not have family and friends available or need extra support.
#3 Fall Detection
Fall detection technology automatically activates the personal alarm when a fall is detected, calling the elected emergency contacts even if the wearer is unconscious or unable to press the help button. Learn more about fall detection by clicking here.
#4 GPS Tracking
The GPS tracking feature allows family and friends or the professional monitoring centre to locate the wearer when the personal alarm is activated. This is helpful if the wearer is unable to speak or for those at risk of wandering.
#5 Showerproof Personal Alarms
Falls can happen anywhere, but the bathroom is the trickiest spot at home. Slippery floors can easily turn a simple step into a stumble. That’s why being showerproof is so important. This means you can wear your personal alarm in the shower, knowing that if a puddle trips you up, help is just a button call away.
If you are worried about a loved one, or perhaps even yourself, losing that sense of freedom due to health concerns or the occasional clumsy stumble (we have all been there!), personal alarms can be the solution.
