I’ve Fallen and I Can’t Reach My Medical Alert Button

We all remember the infamous “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” commercial. It’s the catch phrase that’s characterized the elderly and special needs personal emergency medical response (PERS) industry for the past 25 years… but what happens if you’re unconscious or you can’t reach the emergency button? Finally, after decades of the same old thing, there’s a better way to monitor the safety and wellness of your loved ones, helping them continue to live independently in their homes.

suretyCAM’s home health care monitoring service is a lot more than just a medical alert button. The idea is simple… utilize the security system infrastructure to monitor the safety and wellness of your loved ones like you never could before.

Traditional PERS systems depend on the users’ willingness to wear a medical alert button at all times and their ability to press that button when they need help. Here’s the classic scene.

What happens if Mr. Miller is unconscious? What happens if Mrs. Fletcher isn’t wearing her alert button? If you’re depending on a traditional PERS system then it’s not much help.

suretyCAM’s home health care monitoring service uses sensors around the house to detect inactivity as well as an active medical alert button press. If, instead of having chest pains while standing up, Mr. Miller had failed to get out of bed in the morning then suretyCAM would detect the problem and automatically notify his primary caregiver. If Mrs. Fletcher was knocked unconscious or wasn’t wearing her medical alert button when she fell then after a programmable amount of time suretyCAM would detect the problem and notify her family member.

Upon receiving these notifications you might call your loved one to check and make sure everything is OK. Or, if you prefer, you can even look in and see that everything is OK on live security cameras. suretyCAM’s home health care monitoring service brings you closer to your independently living loved ones than ever before, right from your computer or smart phone, from anywhere in the world.

Here are some benefits you get with suretyCAM that aren’t available with a traditional PERS system. Get an automatic notification on your mobile phone when your loved one…

• fails to get out of bed in the morning.
• hasn’t moved around the house for a given period of time.
• goes outside when they normally wouldn’t or shouldn’t.
• doesn’t open the medicine cabinet when they should.
• doesn’t open the refrigerator all day.
• leaves their bed or chair for an unusually long time.
• presses their medical emergency panic button.

Sometimes, instead of waiting for a notification, you just need to check in for peace of mind that everything is OK. Use the live sensor activity chart on your mobile phone or tablet to see which sensors have been activated and when, throughout the day or even over the past couple months.

Need to look in and see for yourself? No problem. suretyCAM home health care monitoring supports live cameras, or even snapshot cameras that don’t require any Internet connection whatsoever. You don’t need a land line telephone either – suretyCAM home health care monitoring uses a built-in cellular phone to keep you connected.

Of course, our system does emergency medical button and response with 2-way voice and paramedic dispatch just like a traditional PERS system but with suretyCAM home health care monitoring you get lighting fast PERS monitoring and so much more!

Is it affordable? Absolutely. Monitoring is available for $30-$40/month depending on the level of service required. For no more (and often less) than a traditional PERS system you get far more functionality and peace of mind. If you’re so inclined, your suretyCAM home health care monitoring system doubles as a state of the art security system at no additional cost. We’ll even link your own home security system with the health care monitoring system at your loved one’s home so you can access both systems from the same smart phone app using the same login. Easy. Powerful. Safe. Secure.
