For many seniors, trips and falls are a cause of worry. Whether it’s a simple fall or a serious one, falling can leave you in need of immediate medical attention. Fortunately, there are fall detection devices that can help you stay safe and get the assistance you need if a fall occurs. These systems use motion-tracking technology to detect sudden downward movements that may indicate a fall. When a fall is detected, the device automatically sends an alert to a monitoring center or to emergency responders directly. After the alert is sent, a trained representative from the monitoring center will contact you to determine whether or not you need help. While no system is 100% accurate, most devices are quite good at detecting abrupt movements that resemble a fall. [https://www.personalmedicalalarms.co.nz/ Personal Medical Alarms] Some have even incorporated calibration and machine-learning algorithms to improve their accuracy. The most important thing is to make sure you have the right medical alert system with fall detection in place. The best way to do this is to compare and shop around. Adding fall detection to your existing medical alert is a simple addition that can save you time and money in the long run. It can also give you peace of mind, especially for those who are prone to falls or have chronic conditions. While fall detection is not typically included in the base price of most medical alert systems, it can be an add-on for an extra $5 to $10 per month. Considering the cost savings, it’s worth paying that extra money to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Those who have a history of falling may benefit from medical alert systems with fall detection.<br /><br />Several providers offer options with the feature. These include mobile alert devices and at-home systems, as well as a number of add-ons.<br /><br />Peace of Mind<br /><br />Most medical alert systems have a button that users can press to call for help. Many of them also feature GPS location for added safety. This option is particularly important for seniors living alone. Getting help quickly after a fall can reduce the risk of serious complications, such as pressure ulcers, dehydration and pneumonia.<br /><br />In addition to helping with immediate emergencies, a fall detection device can provide peace of mind for seniors and their families. For example, some studies have shown that people who use medical alert systems are more willing to admit that they’ve fallen and seek assistance.<br /><br />Fortunately, medical alert systems with fall detection are available in a variety of forms, including pendants and bracelets. Some offer GPS, which is important for seniors who live alone or have a condition like heart disease that causes dizziness or Parkinson’s, which increases the risk of falling. Some devices have a camera-free imaging radar sensor that can detect a fall and alert caregivers, without intruding on a senior’s privacy.<br /><br />Safety<br /><br />A medical alert device that detects a fall offers a safety net for seniors who live alone. If they fall, they can press their help button and an emergency monitoring agent will contact them and dispatch assistance. This is an especially important feature for people who have fallen before, as they are twice as likely to fall again.<br /><br />Medical alert devices that include fall detection are available as pendants, bracelets and smart watches. Some devices require a monthly charge, while others are free to use with a service plan. It’s also worth checking with your health insurance to see if you can offset the cost of a medical alert device with flexible spending.<br /><br />Medical Guardian offers several different at-home and mobile medical alert systems with fall detection. [https://personalmedicalalarms.com.au/ Medical Alarms AU] They range in price from $30 to $120 per month plus a one-time $99 equipment fee. Their SOS Mobile and All-in-One devices are lightweight, compact and designed to be used at home or on the go. They are paired with a wearable help button necklace or bracelet and have optional location tracking and a built-in fall detector.<br /><br />Cost<br /><br />Falls are the number one cause of injury for seniors. A fall detection device can provide peace of mind for both the senior and their loved ones.<br /><br />When choosing a medical alert system, look for a company that offers a money back guarantee, lifetime warranty and a price lock guarantee. Additionally, look for a company that allows couples or roommates to split the cost of a plan. This way if one person falls, the other can push their help button and receive assistance.<br /><br />Finally, look for a system that has GPS. This will allow your loved one to be tracked outside of the home if they fall, which can be extremely helpful. The system should also have a waterproof pendant and be able to work in the shower or bathtub, where most falls happen. Additionally, look for a system that offers a free trial and allows you to cancel your subscription if you aren’t satisfied.<br /><br />Ease of Use<br /><br />If your loved one has a condition that increases their risk for falling, a medical alert system with fall detection is an excellent option. A device worn on the person’s neck or wrist sends a signal to the monitoring center when a fall is detected.<br /><br />To determine whether a fall occurs, the sensor measures various metrics including impact speed and distance, motion, and changes in barometric pressure. Many systems also account for movement after a fall and avoid false alarms by detecting small movements. Lifeline’s AutoAlert technology is calibrated to do just that and earned the Reviews Team’s “Most Accurate” designation.<br /><br />Using a device that automatically calls for help is important for seniors who have difficulty pressing their medical alert button or who might forget to do so. It’s also vital that they get help quickly after a fall because studies show 60% of seniors who don’t receive help within the first hour of a fall die or become permanently injured.
