Fall-detector watch/sensor – €90; used for only a few months but not needed any more due to admittance in an elderly home. Call/sms 79287467.
For those living alone who already have their telephone connected to the Telecare lifeline/Hub and wish to upgrade by adding a fall-detector watch/sensor worn on the wrist (new costs €188).
This sensor automatically detects serious falls in the home. It immediately raises an alarm, via the telecare hub, to the monitoring centre or a carer’s pager. The sensor, worn on the wrist, works with an innovative algorithm, which measures loss of altitude and speed and can detect if a person falls from an upright position.
The wearer can also raise an alert directly from this device. Any alarm raised is confirmed via vibration and an LED light. In case of a false alarm, the alert can be cancelled by the wearer. Additionally, the wearer can trigger it manually to call for any help or alert/speak to the person on call at the monitoring centre.

• Additional manual trigger to raise fall alert.
• Vibration and LED light confirmation.
• Easily cancelled alerts to minimise false alarms.
