PERSONAL ALARM FOR ELDERLY/FRAIL PERSONS IN SOUTH AFRICA

  The ‘Anywhere’ Alarm is a fully mobile personal alarm for the elderly, including a GPS tracker feature. This device provides protection both at home, and away from it, for example at the shops, walking, fishing, etc. It includes a two-way communication talking pendant, call and text alerts when activated, ‘find me’ feature and automatic fall detection. Stay safe with an Anywhere alarm, wherever you are! How does it work? When the wearer needs help they simply press the SOS button on the front of the device: 1. An SOS text message alert is sent to the nominated contacts. The text includes a Google Maps link which shows the location of the wearer at the time of activation. 2. The alarm then calls the 1st SOS contact. The alarm’s two-way speech allows the wearer to talk into the pendant and directly communicate with their contact. 3. If the first number doesn’t answer, the alarm will continue to call the 2nd contact, and then the 3rd. Additionally, you can find out where the alarm is at any time by simply sending it a text message. The device will then automatically reply with an update on its location with a Google Maps link. * Please note that as the nature of a fall can vary dramatically the pendant does not detect 100% of falls but significantly increases the wearer’s protection. Soft falls e.g. a slide down the wall, or from a chair, may be harder to detect than hard falls e.g. a trip while walking.
