Digital Personal Alarms

In the wake of Openreach’s Digital Switchover, digital personal alarms are becoming increasingly popular as technology advances and traditional landlines disappear.

Thankfully, Telecare24 has you covered with digital personal alarms that help you maintain your independence.

Future-proofing your safety

As opposed to traditional landlines, digital personal alarms use either mobile phone technology or home broadband to connect to a 24/7 careline monitoring service.

Order a digital personal alarm

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.

At Telecare24, we want to ensure you are as safe as possible, so the wearable part that you get with our Fall Alarm plan is wrist-worn only.

In an emergency, a wrist-worn digital personal alarm that has built-in fall detection is more accurate and accessible than a neck-worn device.

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 personal 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?

The importance of digital personal alarms lies in the fact that they are not affected by Openreach’s Digital Switchover since they use either mobile or broadband technology to connect to a 24/7 monitoring service.

This ensures continued safety and peace of mind even after your traditional landline is disconnected.

Switching to a digitally-capable personal alarm assures you that you’ll always be protected, even when your household’s traditional landline is disconnected.

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.
