Here's an example of how fall detection works. Bessie Sue lives in foggy New England - where the best and most hearty clam chowders call home. However, Bessie has diabetes. Her son, Rick, got Bessie a fall detection medical alert system after she broke her funny bone by falling down the stairs.
During the last Oktoberfest, Bessie Sue skipped her lunch because she was too busy cleaning up the tents from the annual fair. Bessie started feeling a little light-headed, an early sign of senior dehydration. But she ignored it, thinking it was caused by the heat - the sun was unusually bright that day. The dizziness was truly from the fact that Bessie has skipped lunch, but Bessie finished cleaning and headed home without grabbing a bite to eat.
While in her warm shower, Bessie fainted. Her fall detection pendant sensed her falling, and called theAlert1 Command Center. An operator came on the line, but couldn’t contact Bessie, who was still unconscious. The operator immediately called for an ambulance, which arrived within minutes to help. Bessie did not get any lasting injuries from the fall thanks to Alert1’s speedy response.
