Domestic carephones are modern communications tools that make use of the telephone network to make immediate contact with neighbours, friends, relatives or an emergency call centre at the touch of a button on a wireless transmitter in the event of illness, accident or panic attacks.
... for those living alone
An ever growing number of people in our society – and not simply the elderly or handicapped - live permanently or temporarily alone. As a result, they are isolated from their surroundings, friends and relatives for at least a part of the time.
... for warden-assisted accommodation
Senior citizens and elderly persons live in small residential units, where they can be looked after, or they have their own living accommodation within a residential or nursing home are looked after. This provides people with a high level of independence for extended periods.
... for persons working alone
Laboratory and security personnel, IT specialists and operators of large computer installations, technicians in production and manufacturing facilities often have to carry out tasks that involve them working alone during the day and more especially if they are engaged on shift work.
The certainty that help is just a button’s touch away thanks to the carephone is greatly reassuring. An emergency call can be triggered at any time with the wireless wrist or pendant transmitter that dials the pre-programmed telephone numbers. The alarm recipient confirms the message and can speak to the person seeking help. This enables the helper to assess the situation precisely and provide the appropriate assistance.
