Help A Senior Or Elderly Person If They Fall
Improved Outcomes
If a senior or elderly person falls1, all designated CareGivers receive instant notifications and can be connected through a group audio phone call. This rapid response increases the likelihood of early intervention, which is crucial for reducing complications and improving recovery outcomes after a fall.
Additionally, timely assistance helps to minimize the severity of injuries by ensuring that medical evaluation and care can be provided promptly. Early response also reduces the risks of prolonged immobilization, which can lead to secondary health problems such as pressure sores, dehydration, or pneumonia. The ability for multiple CareGivers to coordinate instantly fosters a collaborative approach, enhancing the quality of support provided. Such integrated communication systems empower families and CareGivers alike, promoting peace of mind and improving overall safety and well-being for the elderly. Studies show that these interventions decrease hospitalizations and facilitate faster functional recovery, reinforcing the value of technology-enabled fall detection and CareGiver alert systems.
1 Fall detection requires the use of a fall detection capable smartwatch or other capable device that provides health data to Apple and/or Google platforms. Fall detection is not available in all countries and dependent on environmental factors and network connectivity. Fall detection with a smartwatch may not detect all falls. Users must grant health and location permission. Cellular and network data rates may apply. Fall notifications are not a substitute for emergency services.
