Frequently Asked Questions
How does this help if they've fallen?
If they can't check in because of a fall, you're alerted. You call, they don't answer, you send help. Hours faster than waiting for someone to notice.
Wouldn't a fall detection device be better?
Fall detection devices are great but expensive and require wearing them. This is a free daily backup that catches any reason they can't check in.
What if they fall right after checking in?
True, it's not instant detection. But daily check-ins mean at most 24 hours before alert, not days. Combine with other solutions for comprehensive coverage.
This happened before. How do I prevent it?
You can't prevent falls, but you can ensure faster response. Daily check-ins dramatically reduce time-to-discovery.
