Digital Personal Alarms

Digital alarms are an increasingly popular solution for people who want to maintain their independence as technology advances. Especially in the wake of Openreach’s Digital Switchover.

Thankfully, Telecare24 has you covered.

Future-proofing your safety

Instead of the traditional ‘analogue’ landline telephone network, digital alarms utilise either mobile SIM technology or home broadband in order to connect to the 24/7 monitoring service.

Digital personal alarms can be worn in the form of bracelets or pendants. They offer a number of benefits, including peace of mind for both the elderly and their loved ones, and the ability to respond quickly to emergency situations.

Why should you own a digital personal alarm?

Owning a digital alarm can be especially beneficial for elderly people who live active lifestyles, have chronic health conditions, or simply want to live independently. There are several reasons why owning a digital alarm can be beneficial, especially for the elderly.

Firstly, digital alarms can help ensure the safety and security of the elderly. Digital alarms can allow for quick responses to potentially life-threatening situations.

They can detect falls, and provide alerts to our monitoring centres in the event of an emergency. This means that help can be quickly summoned, potentially saving the person’s life or preventing serious injury.

Secondly, digital alarms can provide peace of mind for both the elderly and their loved ones. Knowing that help is just a button press away can alleviate anxiety and worry about potential emergencies.

Thirdly, digital alarms can help maintain an elderly person’s independence. With the knowledge that they have access to help if needed, the elderly may feel more confident and able to continue living on their own.

Lastly, digital alarms can be relatively inexpensive and easy to use. Many models are affordable and require little to no installation, making them a convenient option for many people.

Why are digital personal alarms important?

Digital alarms are important because they provide users with peace of mind while also allowing them to maintain their independence.

Digital personal alarms, in particular, are compatible with at home broadband technology or mobile SIM cards, which are now commonly used technology throughout the UK.

Switching to a digitally-capable personal alarm assures you that you’ll always be protected, even when your household switches from an analogue to a digital (broadband) telephone system.

As people age, they may be more prone to falls and other medical emergencies and may not be able to reach a phone or call for help on their own.

Digital alarms provide an extra layer of protection by automatically detecting falls and providing alerts to the monitoring centre, who in turn can contact emergency services if needed.

This can help them receive prompt medical attention, which can be critical in emergency situations–even save their life.

Benefits of Digital Personal Alarms.

Digital personal alarms offer numerous benefits for older people, including:

Peace of mind

Digital personal alarms can help the elderly maintain their independence by enabling them to live in their homes for longer, and providing a sense of security and safety.

At Telecare24, we offer two types of digital alarms:

Alarms which work with broadband internet connections

A white Novo careline alarm base unit and a blue Vibby fall sensor from Telecare24

The equipment you receive on our pendant alarm and fall alarm plans can either be plugged into a traditional home landline, or it can be customised to work with your broadband router instead.
If you have been upgraded by the digital switchover and you no longer have a traditional telephone line, give us a call free on 0800 180 85 40 and we will arrange for your alarm to be configured to work with your broadband router.

Alarms that work using mobile SIM technology

Our GO! GPS Alarm plan is centred around a device that features built-in SIM technology that uses the mobile phone network in order to function. Therefore it is unaffected by traditional landlines being deactivated as part of the digital switchover.

How do Digital Personal Alarms work?

Digital personal alarms use either mobile SIM technology or home broadband in order to connect to a 24/7 monitoring service. Depending on the specific device, digital alarms may include features such as automatic fall detection or GPS tracking.

Typically, these alarms have a clearly visible panic button, which can be pressed manually in case of an emergency.

When a fall is detected, a digital fall alarm will automatically send a notification to a monitoring centre, which in turn can contact keyholders or the emergency services as needed.

Many digital personal alarms are designed to be worn as discreet pendants or bracelets, making them convenient to wear and ensuring that they are always within reach.

Digital personal alarms offer a comprehensive solution for monitoring well-being and providing alerts in emergency situations.

By using advanced technology to detect falls and other emergencies, these devices can help promote the safety and well-being of users while also allowing them to maintain their independence and enjoy greater peace of mind.
