Touch Personal Pendant

Overview

A modern looking Personal Pendant that doesn't have a big red button, which eliminates the stigma associated with traditional call buttons.

The Personal Pendant is worn by the user - around the neck, on the wrist or on a belt - to allow an emergency alarm call to be made from anywhere in or around the home. In residential housing, calls can be made from anywhere on the scheme.

An alarm call is made by simply pressing the button once to activate a flashing LED light that reassures the user the call has been made.

Carer Pendant

Overview

Overview

The Attack Pendant can easily be pressed if the user feels threatened or uneasy with a visitor, and when triggered will send a silent alarm call through to a monitoring centre.

Wrist Worn Fall Detector

Overview

The wrist worn fall detector provides reassurance when it’s needed most. It has an optional vibration setting that can be programmed to vibrate if a fall is detected, has a range of sensitivity settings and can be used as a wrist worn pendant in addition to it’s fall detection capabilities.

Using intelligent algorithms, the device constantly monitors the activities of the individual and automatically raises an alert should it believe that the user has fallen.

How does the Fall Detector Work?

Worn on the wrist, the fall detector automatically detects a change in acceleration that is related to trips and stumbles, it then monitors for the subsequent impact associated with a fall. The large SILVER button can be pressed to raise an alarm call at any time, if it is pressed within 10 seconds of a fall being detected a fall alarm will be transmitted immediately – the light will flash RED.

Due to the complex nature of falls it may not be possible for the fall detector to automatically detect all falls. Users should be advised that if they are able, to press the silver button on the fall detector if they need help.

Wearing Options

The fall detector is worn on the wrist like a watch. To minimise false alarms it should be worn on the least dominant side; i.e. a right handed person should wear it on their left wrist and vice-versa.

Setting Up & Testing Your Device

In order to determine the most appropriate sensitivity and configuration settings for an individual user, we recommend that the service provider carries out a user assessment prior to the device being deployed. Regular test calls should be made in accordance with the guidelines set by the service provider.
