Fall detection systems

Automatic fall detection systems can be a lifeline for many people and can greatly increase the opportunity for independent living. Fall detection systems can send an immediate alert for help when someone has a trip of fall in the home. This means an individual will not be left alone if this type of incident does occur. This considerably relieves anxiety for anyone who has a fall and increases the chance of a faster recovery. 

Automatic fall detection alerts - day and night

There is no doubt that fall detection products save lives. We have first-hand experience of this each day in our 24/7 CareLink™ Monitoring Centre in Ireland, where many of the calls we receive are from people who have had a slip or fall in the home. Our fall detection products also lessons the distress when a fall occurs by sending an automatic alert for help and thus providing reassurance. 

Consequences of falls at home

The chance of falling increases as we get older and sadly falls are the main cause of fatal injuries among older people. Even non-fatal falls can have far-reaching consequences for people by reducing confidence and increasing dependency. For instance, many individuals recovering from a broken hip will need assistance with activities of daily living more than a year after the fracture. Fall detection systems can give confidence to someone who has already sufferred a fall, who might otherwise be reluctant to continue with daily tasks.
