Studies have shown that the two most common threats to independent living of seniors are falls and mistakes in taking medication. This is why Philips has introduced its own line of medical alarm bracelet. In addition, they offer a Medication Dispensing Service as well. Both of these products can help to provide peace of mind so you or a loved on will be able to live an independent life in retirement. Because there are a wide variety of companies out there offering this type of device, Philips acknowledges that when making your decision about which to purchase that dependability will be high on your list.
Philips currently offers two different types of medical alarm bracelet: the standard model and a new option that features an auto alert option. There standard model allows you to call for help at the push of a button so even if you cannot get to a phone you will be able to alert others to your situation. It is estimated that each year 13.5 million people ages 65 and older will experience a bad fall. This is why it is so important to be able to call for help 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You have the choice of either a pendant or bracelet and each is comfortable and small. They are designed to look like a simple timepiece.
The version of this medical alarms bracelet which offers the auto alert function can even further help to keep you safe as it will go off without your even having to push the button. This way if you are knocked unconscious help will be on the way. Sometimes it is tempting to simply carry a cell phone around with you in case of an accident. However, there are several reasons why this is an inferior solution. A emergency transmitter is usually waterproof so it can be worn anywhere. In addition, because it features only a single button it can be used even when you are disoriented. The auto alert function even makes it possible to receive help without your having to do anything.
The Life Line offers a simple three step process by which you can receive help in case of an accident. First of all, you simply have to push the button on your. If the auto alert version is chosen it will simply detect that you have fallen and immediately call for help. At this point you will hear the calm, reassuring voice of a Life Line response team member who will try to keep you calm and will assess the best way to handle the situation. Depending on your needs, a friend or family member will be called, or an ambulance will be sent to your home. There will be a follow up to make sure help has arrived.
