Benefits of Fall Detection

Fall Detection is an invaluable feature that provides peace of mind to you and your loved ones. When you fall, the fall detection technology in your medical alert pendant automatically connects you to an emergency responder.

Precision

Most common movements are accurately detected through automatic fall detection technology, including walking up and down the stairs or sliding off the couch. This technology is also waterproof so falls can be detected in the shower or bathtub, which is particularly helpful for older adults who have more medical conditions that increase their risk of falling.

In some cases, your fall detection device will send GPS data to a monitoring center, which can help emergency responders find you in the event of a call from the sensor. This can be especially helpful for seniors who may be in a wheelchair or other mobility device.

Ease of Use

Fall detection systems may be a bit complex, so it’s important to ensure that the system is easy for you or your loved one to use and understand. It’s also a good idea to test the device with your loved one or family members before you go to install it in their home.

Privacy Concerns

Many fall detector systems collect data on their users, which can be highly sensitive information. This has led to concerns over privacy, which is why it’s important for systems to be robust enough that they don’t report too many false activations.
