Wrist Worn Panic Alarm

Product Information

You can also find them without them having pressed the button by using the Find Me feature on the SureSafeGO if you have the family monitored option. In fact, if you have fall detector the wearer doesn’t even have to press the button. The alarm will sense a fall and send out an alert automatically. For those who like to fall asleep to music or podcasts and wake up with sound cues, a comfortable pair of sleep headphones can be a great solution. AcousticSheep's SleepPhones are breathable and washable and can go days without you needing to charge them.

Falls are the largest cause of emergency hospital admissions for older people, and 1-in-3 people over 65 will have a fall this year†.

MyAmie Pendant

I liked that this alarm was pretty customizable for the price. You can wake up with just the vibration or a buzzing sound or combine them. The tone of the buzzer can be changed, and you can opt to turn the flashing lights on or off. If your goal is a completely silent wake-up, the Philips SmartSleep Connected light might work for you. Before your alarm is scheduled to go off, it dimly lights up then gradually brightens as your wake-up time approaches. There are sound options, too, if you need them, including FM radio. Personal alarms allow you to get help if you have a problem or a fall at home, or if you wander off when out of the home. Special features: I tested features such as Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity, accompanying mobile apps, wind-down programs, and night lights to see if they were helpful and simple to use.

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.The Fall Alert is also an immense help when you are away from home. The personal alarm can feel the change in air pressure and movement which is associated with a fall. Almost everything about the SmartSleep Connected is customizable. You can set over a dozen alarms with different light hues; several sound options, from waves to birds to Nepal bowls; and varying snooze lengths. You can choose how long before your alarm goes off you want the wake-up cycle to begin, between 5 and 40 minutes. Please note: the Minuet Watch functions exactly the same as our standard MyAmie pendant. It is not a fall detector alarm. MyAmie Pendant 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.

You'll need the accompanying SleepMapper app ( iOS and Android) for most of this functionality. The app is easier than the on-device controls, which could be a bit clunky. It will detect when you have had a hard fall and automatically call Taking Care's Emergency Resolution team. The SureSafeGO works away from home using GPS and is the best way of staying safe when you are out and about. You can choose the family monitored alarm and when it is triggered it will call and notify up to three family or friends. There are no monthly fees with this option, but you do need to buy our pay-as-you-go credit.

Knowing that someone is always available can help you feel safe in your own home. And should an emergency ever arise, you can be sure that no alarm call will ever go unanswered. 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.

I listen to audiobooks to fall asleep, and it was nice knowing that my alarm would play through the headphones in the morning. After the alarm went off, I would invariably leave the headphones on and paired to my phone by accident. Yet they lasted well over a week without me needing to charge them. 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. Our alarms are linked to one of two UK based monitoring centres. Having two separate centres means that we can always be online in the unlikely event that one of the centres ever experience a technical issue.Cons: Requires regular charging, can't adjust the size, many phones need a third-party app to not disturb your partner
