Benefits of a Fall Detector Alarm

Fall detection alarms use sophisticated sensors to distinguish genuine falls from everyday movement and alert a 24/7 operator or designated family contacts immediately in the case of an incident.

As soon as a fall occurs, the device calls a monitoring center or loved one through its two-way speaker to assess and offer assistance. Many medical alert systems offer this feature for an additional monthly subscription fee.

Peace of Mind

Fall detection alarms provide elderly users and their families with invaluable peace of mind, assuring them that help is available should they fall or become injured, as well as providing them with confidence to enjoy independent living again.

Medical alert devices with fall detection utilize accelerometers to sense movement, with an algorithm distinguishing normal movement from an accident. Accelerometers are found in many everyday devices like smart phones, children's toys, and Wii systems - so most people are familiar with them.

If a fall is detected, the device will automatically call for help without intervention from its wearer. They may also press the SOS button directly if needed to request assistance if triggered accidentally; in any event, any alarm triggered can easily be cancelled by pressing the clear button on their device.

Many of our personal alarms with fall detection feature adjustable sensitivity settings that enable you to achieve the ideal balance between thorough coverage and false alarms. They also feature one-touch cancel SOS calls for added control over your safety.

Enhanced Safety

Fall detection devices provide peace of mind to those living alone who have fallen, or fear they might. Their presence offers peace of mind for those who may have fallen or who fear falling.

Sensors equipped with motion detectors are capable of recognizing when someone falls, alerting a 24/7 monitoring centre immediately that assistance may be required. Such sensors may also prove beneficial for athletes who have a history of falling as well as those living with long term conditions like Parkinson's or epilepsy.

Some fall detection devices come equipped with GPS tracking capabilities to allow family or caregivers to track the location of an elderly loved one who may have fallen outside of their home and cannot explain where they are. This feature may prove invaluable should someone become scared or confused after experiencing an incident outside the home and be unable to explain where they are.





Two-way communication is an essential feature in any medical alert device, but particularly those that include automatic fall detection. While it is easy for an alert to be activated when no fall has taken place, manufacturers strive to create systems with as few false alarms as possible; YourStride offers an easily pressable 'Cancel Call' button so the wearer can cancel accidental triggers by themselves.

Confidence

If the person using the device falls, they are automatically connected to a 24/7 monitoring centre where emergency contacts (or SureSafe operator) can contact them and speak with them over the phone to make sure they're okay. A human voice will reassure them they have fallen, are okay and that help is on its way - giving them peace of mind knowing they won't be alone if something does happen at home.

Medical alert systems provide sensors that will not only detect falls but can also pick up sudden movements that indicate you may have fallen, like when slipping in the shower or moving slowly out of your chair. While sudden movements will likely trigger alarm, slow ones might go undetected - for this reason it would be wise to get one with an emergency button should something unexpectedly occur that doesn't set it off immediately.

elderly alarm bracelet The best medical alert systems are discreet, lightweight devices designed to be worn discreetly anywhere around the house or outdoors. Many waterproof models make them suitable for use in bathrooms where falls can occur; alternatively they can also be equipped with key safe features that ensure only your designated carer, family or emergency services can gain entry if necessary.

Help is on the way

Fall detection alarms provide one of the greatest benefits for individuals living alone: immediate assistance will be sent immediately. These devices will alert your loved ones or a 24/7 response centre immediately even if the user cannot press their own button, saving time waiting for help while expediting medical treatment faster than before.

Our core lone worker devices with built-in fall detection are designed to alert medical assistance in the event of a fall, even if a user cannot manually activate an alarm (and hence may not be able to push its button themselves). Even if an unconscious worker falls, an alarm will still sound so emergency medical assistance can be dispatched immediately.

This feature can provide peace of mind to those at risk of falling at home, such as older individuals with mobility issues or chronic conditions, individuals living with Parkinson's disease or stroke and people who take certain medications that cause dizziness, drowsiness and falls; also workers in outdoor environments - like cleaners - as well as manufacturing and warehousing workers who could face risks due to slippery surfaces or dangerous machinery. Our alarms also offer two-way communication so our monitoring centre or loved ones can confirm it was indeed a fall and give assurance they help is on its way. For additional peace of mind we offer alarms with two-way communication so we can check and assure them help is on its way if needed.
