The innovation of wearable technology brings a new level of independence for many individuals. Brands such as Senior Protection have created products that allow older adults and their caregivers to feel a sense of comfort knowing that they or their loved ones have help if they ever experience an accident, a fall, or need emergency support. Throughout this article, I introduce Senior Protection, the first brand in the space of medical alert devices that is available on Best Buy Canada. Plus, I discuss the benefits of smart medical devices, and who these products are designed for.
Why use a medical alert device?
A medical alert device is different from other wearables you may have seen on the market. The primary function of a wearable is typically to provide fitness and health tracking, whereas a medical alert device’s main purpose is for emergency responses with the added feature of wellness tracking. There are many benefits to using a medical alert device, especially for individuals who live on their own and want that peace of mind of knowing that if something were to happen, they have a way of getting into contact with their loved one or an emergency response team. These devices provide 24/7 emergency response, fall detection, GPS, and voice communication to make sure that you or your loved one can get help in the case of an accident. Let’s look at some of the benefits of medical alert devices in more detail:
Emergency response available 24/7
With the push of a button, or the detection of a fall, medical alert devices will start to call an emergency response team so that you can get help instantly. No matter what time of day, if something happens and you need help, smart medical alert devices give you peace of mind knowing that someone will be contacted right away.
Fall detection
Falls are one of the leading causes of hospitalization for older adults and can be extremely serious. That is why it is important to make sure that if you or your loved one experiences a fall, there is support in place. Medical alert devices include a sensor that can detect when the person wearing it has fallen and then it can contact either emergency services or one of the emergency contacts so that they can be notified right away and help can be sent.
GPS
The Senior Protection line of products makes it easier to share your location with your contacts through GPS (Global Positioning System). If someone were to get lost or experience an emergency and needed help, it would make it easier to locate the person by being able to see their location and respond to them quickly.
Communication
One of the most beneficial features of smart devices is that they allow us to communicate with one another from wherever we are in the world. Since all of Senior Protection devices include two-way communication, it allows the individual wearing the device to interact with the emergency response team or family members in the case of an accident. By having this feature included in medical alert devices, you won’t have to worry about not being able to get hold of someone for help.
Older adults can get support through medical alert devices
Senior Protection medical alert devices bring a whole new level of safety to the lives of older adults, without sacrificing the design of their products. Typically when it comes to medical alert devices, they can be somewhat of an eye sore, but the Senior Protection Smart Watch has a sleek design that provides both safety and style.
This device works by pressing a button in the case of an emergency and contacting the Senior Protection central monitoring station right away. If you are not into wearing smart watches, Senior Protection also provides a range of different products like pendants, smart wrist band, and an at-home smart device that offer the same level of support. There are trained operators who will be able to speak to you through the smart watch or pendant and assist you promptly. Since the devices come with built-in GPS, no matter where you are your exact location will be pinpointed so that the operator or your family member can send someone to help. These devices can provide a feeling of independence and safety, knowing that you can continue to do the things that you love to do while also having an extra safety net in case something happens that you may not have anticipated.
Set up and installation
If you are new to using technology or a device like this, Senior Protection makes it easy to get your device set up and ready to use. When you order either the smart watch or the pendant, the Senior Protection customer care team will reach out to you to confirm your device preferences so that it is ready to go as soon as you open the box. When you purchase a Senior Protection device, it comes with one free month of their emergency 24/7 response, which is their subscription that users will need to have the benefits that the 24/7 emergency response feature offers.
Caregivers can have peace of mind through medical alert devices
Medical alert devices have a lot of benefits for older adults, and especially their caregivers. Caregivers are the ones who support individuals with their daily needs. By using a medical alert device, caregivers can relax knowing that if their loved one were to suffer from a fall or have an accident, they have support right away from trained professionals. Furthermore, they can be notified if something does happen, so that they aren’t left in the dark and can get to their loved one or get help for them right away.
