Wrist Worn Panic Alarm

Product Information

Below you can find SureSafe’s guide to 6 of the best personal alarms for the elderly on the market. Special features: I tested features such as Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity, accompanying mobile apps, wind-down programs, and night lights to see if they were helpful and simple to use. They will then send alerts to family, carers or a monitoring service. Some systems can also adjust or turn off appliances if they detect a problem.

Personal alarms allow you to get help if you have a problem or a fall at home, or if you wander off when out of the home. The SureSafeGO works away from home using GPS and is the best way of staying safe when you are out and about. You can choose the family monitored alarm and when it is triggered it will call and notify up to three family or friends. There are no monthly fees with this option, but you do need to buy our pay-as-you-go credit. With our fully monitored personal alarms, you or your loved one can connect to one of our trained Response Centre Operators with just the touch of a button at any time of the day or night. Choose a device that lets you talk through the base unit or opt for one of our 'talking pendants' to speak to us from wherever you are. Personal alarms and monitoring systems can alert call centres or carers if you experience a problem, either at home or outside, such as a fall - you may hear this called telecare. Review our range of options below to compare features from some of the best personal alarms in the UK and select the one that's most suited to you or your loved ones.

Please note: the Minuet Watch functions exactly the same as our standard MyAmie pendant. It is not a fall detector alarm. MyAmie Pendant Cons: Requires regular charging, can't adjust the size, many phones need a third-party app to not disturb your partner I liked that this alarm was pretty customizable for the price. You can wake up with just the vibration or a buzzing sound or combine them. The tone of the buzzer can be changed, and you can opt to turn the flashing lights on or off. Wearing a lightweight and discreet personal alarm means that should your elderly relative feel unwell, or have an accident, they don’t have to rely on strangers to get them the help they need. They can press the SOS button and hear the reassuring voice of a family member or a trained SureSafe operator.

Just like the other alarms we've discussed, the Fall Detector can be worn on the wrist like a watch. However, unlike the Minuet and the MyAmie, it can detect when the user has a fall. It's programmed to the wearer's height and contains a sensor that will automatically raise the alarm when it detects a sudden drop. A key safe is fixed to an outdoor wall. You use a code – that you can choose – to open it. Buying a key safe Setup: For each alarm, I tried to set it up without reading the instructions to see how intuitive they were. I then set them up again after reading the manual to make sure the directions were easy to follow. There's an optional "smart wake" feature on the alarm that will detect when you're in a lighter stage of your sleep cycle and will wake you up then, up to 30 minutes before your alarm is scheduled to go off. This is supposed to make you feel less groggy than if you woke from a deeper sleep. If your goal is a completely silent wake-up, the Philips SmartSleep Connected light might work for you. Before your alarm is scheduled to go off, it dimly lights up then gradually brightens as your wake-up time approaches. There are sound options, too, if you need them, including FM radio.Our alarms are linked to one of two UK based monitoring centres. Having two separate centres means that we can always be online in the unlikely event that one of the centres ever experience a technical issue.

For complete peace of mind, we recommend our 24/7 monitoring on the SureSafeGO. This links straight to our response centre operators where your emergency call will be answered any time of the day or night. Knowing that someone is always available can help you feel safe in your own home. And should an emergency ever arise, you can be sure that no alarm call will ever go unanswered. You can buy a key safe online or on the high street. The more expensive key safes work the same way as cheaper ones but they're stronger and heavier. Some key safes are police-approved. Choosing a personal alarm, monitoring system or key safe smart systems that send updates directly to family or carers – you may also hear this called mobile health

When I did need to charge the headphones, I pulled the module out of a pouch in the headband. You can wash the SleepPhones, but you need to remove all the components first. Unlike some sleep headphones I tried, the pouch concealed any blinking light you sometimes get with Bluetooth devices.
