As a family member or caregiver, it is crucial to ensure the safety of dementia and Alzheimer's patients in advance. On our website www.alarmbands.com we offer a selection of emergency watches and mobile home emergency call systems that are specifically tailored to the needs of this patient group.
Many dementia patients become disoriented and may no longer be able to find their way home alone or to their acquaintances and friends. Our specially developed emergency call bracelets offer valuable support here.
Emergency call watch with base station: Ideal for indoor tracking, this watch is easy to use and simply plugs into the socket. It enables precise indoor location by serving as a fixed point for the set radius. This is particularly useful in buildings where GPS signals can be weak.
Emergency call bracelet without base station: This bracelet is intended for general applications where no specific indoor location is required. Without a base station, the bracelet will attempt to obtain a constant GPS signal, which may affect battery life. For dementia patients, we recommend the version with a base station to make orientation easier and to extend battery life.
Using a base station with our emergency bracelets expands the possibilities of monitoring by enabling reliable indoor location and extending battery life. This makes them an ideal solution for monitoring dementia patients indoors.
Alarmbands also offers an emergency call watch with an integrated GPS system that does not require the use of a base station. This model enables general monitoring of a larger area without relying on constant tracking via a base station.
Advantages and disadvantages of the GPS emergency call watch
Advantage: No base station required - This simplifies the installation and handling of the watch as no additional hardware needs to be set up.
Disadvantage: No precise indoor location possible – Without a base station, the watch cannot provide precise location information inside buildings. In addition, constantly querying the GPS location leads to higher battery consumption.
The decision for or against the emergency call watch with GPS should be made based on the specific requirements and circumstances. While the lack of a base station may be advantageous in some situations, the increased power requirements and limited indoor location accuracy should be considered.
The emergency call watch for seniors is an essential aid, especially for dementia patients. This watch not only offers the ability to make an immediate call in an emergency, but also has a built-in medication reminder function.
With a built-in microphone and a hands-free function, seniors can initiate emergency calls directly from the watch. At the same time, an SMS with the GPS location information is automatically sent to stored contacts. This allows family members or caregivers to respond quickly to the situation.
The watch is waterproof and sends an additional alarm to saved contacts if medication is not taken. This gives caregivers the opportunity to take immediate action if the patient is not taking their medication as intended.
In addition to emergency communication, the watch periodically reminds the wearer to take medication, which promotes independence while increasing safety.
Dementia patients' difficulties with orientation, particularly in new and unfamiliar places, can pose a significant challenge. In order to minimize the risk of running away, special runaway protection systems are available that enable continuous monitoring.
These systems, often referred to as dementia monitoring systems, use GPS technology to accurately determine the patient's position at any time. This enables relatives and nursing staff to react quickly to potentially dangerous situations.
It is important that these technical requirements are met to ensure that the system functions smoothly and effectively protects the dementia patient.
