What is a personal alarm?
A personal alarm is an emergency button you wear around your neck or on your wrist. At the touch of a button, you can send out an emergency alert so help is quickly on its way. You choose your own contact persons. There are different types and systems: from a simple transmitter in a bracelet to a device with GPS or a more advanced safety watch.
Would you like to continue living independently at home for as long as possible? Are you getting a little older, feeling less confident after a fall, or finding it harder to get around? Do you have a disability or illness? Or perhaps someone is worried about you? In all these situations, a personal alarm can offer reassurance and support.

Automatic alerts with sensors
Add smart sensors to your personal alarm with monitoring centre for extra peace of mind. The monitoring centre will then receive automatic alerts in case of danger.
