Wrist Worn Panic Alarm

Product Information

Wearing a lightweight and discreet personal alarm means that should your elderly relative feel unwell, or have an accident, they don’t have to rely on strangers to get them the help they need. They can press the SOS button and hear the reassuring voice of a family member or a trained SureSafe operator. A personal alarm can help you or your loved remain living safely and independently. With so many alarm options available you might find it difficult to decide which one is right for you.

But for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, a physical alarm that isn't sound-based could be useful if a light-based alarm isn't reliable enough.Fall alarms for older people offer several benefits. Most importantly, having an alarm system in your home means you can always call for help with just the touch of a button. You won't need to worry about what might happen in the event of a fall or other emergency. They will then send alerts to family, carers or a monitoring service. Some systems can also adjust or turn off appliances if they detect a problem. Just like the other alarms we've discussed, the Fall Detector can be worn on the wrist like a watch. However, unlike the Minuet and the MyAmie, it can detect when the user has a fall. It's programmed to the wearer's height and contains a sensor that will automatically raise the alarm when it detects a sudden drop. For complete peace of mind, we recommend our 24/7 monitoring on the SureSafeGO. This links straight to our response centre operators where your emergency call will be answered any time of the day or night. In addition to the Minuet Watch and the MyAmie Pendant, we also offer an automatic Fall Detector alarm. This device provides an extra layer of reassurance for the user and their family.

I evaluated how easy it was to set alarms, whether the alarm consistently woke me up, and how difficult it was to shut off and snooze the alarms. For at least one night, I put the alarm on my partner's side of the bed or had him use it so I could see if I was disturbed when he woke up.

You can choose the family monitored alarm and when it is triggered it will call and notify up to three family or friends.
