» What additional services can a Medical Alarm provide?
Some Medical Alarm companies offer related services such as 'fall monitoring' and'call check-in' for additional monthly fees.
Fall monitoring involves wearing a special transmitter that detects falls, abnormal body movements, and/or extended periods of inactivity. These special transmitters distinguish between falls and normal movement. When a fall or an abnormal period of inactivity suggests that an emergency condition exists, the system will automatically summon assistance. These transmitters also have a button where the user can call for help manually.
Call check-in is a service where live operators from the monitoring center will attempt to call the end user once or twice a day. If the operator is unable to contact the user over a given period of time, the operator will contact family, friends, or other caregivers so that they can take appropriate action. There is a pre-designated list of caregivers.
