What Happens When a Fall Is Detected?

1. Fall is Detected
Your fall detection pendant senses the fall and automatically notifies Alert1’s 24/7 Command Center. Does not detect 100% of falls - you should always press your button if you need help

2. Connect
A US-based operator from our Command Center comes on the line to assist you. Even if you can't speak– we follow the procedures set up ahead of time to make sure you get help

3. Send Help
We call for help and then stay on the line with you until that help arrives

Alert1 Reviews

My mom fell the other day and couldn't talk. Luckily, her fall detection pendant automatically called for help. Alert1 contacted our whole family about the situation and helped my mom within 15 minutes. I am so glad we got this system for her.

Who Benefits from Automated Fall Alert Systems?

Seniors who choose to continue living independently. They frequently make fall detection technology and a medical alert system part of their aging in place plan. Seniors comprise most of our user base.

Younger adults and children who are at risk for fainting or unconsciousness regularly add fall alert systems to their medical alert system.
Alert1’s medical alert systems have been protecting members aged 7 to 107. Give us a call if you have any questions about whether it is right for you
How Does Automatic Fall Detection Technology Work?
Fall detection technology follows basic physics principles. We won’t get too far into the weeds here, but we think it’s important for our users to understand how our fall alert systems work.
As a reminder from high school physics: Speed is how fast an object is moving. Velocity is how fast an object is moving and in what direction. The units for both speed and velocity are meters per second. Acceleration, a relative measure, is the rate of change in velocity. It is measured in meters per second squared.
Within your fall alert help button, there are four advanced “accelerometers.” Accelerometers are small devices that contain acceleration sensors. These sensors are designed to detect changes in motion and body position in three dimensions. Put simply, these accelerometers will detect if part of your body begins to accelerate in an unnatural way.
Isaac Newton found that an object's acceleration is the result of every force – speed and velocity – acting on it. On Earth, the main force acting on all objects is gravity, or g-force.
An Alert1 fall detection button sitting on your dresser has an acceleration of 1g, or the standard gravity level. The accelerometers in your fall device measure the change in g-force. In free fall, an accelerometer records zero g-force. Therefore, when fall alert systems stop their free fall, the accelerometer stops moving and records the sudden difference in g-force.
Software algorithms in your fall detection button interpret this sudden change in g-force as a fall event. Once the fall is detected, the button triggers a call to the Alert1 Command Center.
Remember that Alert1 buttons are tested to differentiate between a fall and everyday movements. This reduces the number of false alarms sent from our fall alert systems.
