Anyone can fall - practically everyone is exposed to this risk. However, our balance often protects us from falling, so a serious fall is unlikely in everyday life for younger people. However, statistics show that around a third of all people over 65 years old fall at least once a year.
A fall in old age can have a lasting impact on the life of the affected person. Injuries such as bruises, fractures or sprains severely limit mobility and reduce the quality of life of those affected. The loss of mobility almost always also affects the psyche: many seniors suffer from the realization that their usual level of security is increasingly decreasing.
Unfortunately, it often happens that seniors who have fallen are no longer able to get up on their own. It can sometimes take hours for the help you need to arrive, especially if you fall in your own house or apartment. Such an experience puts additional strain on the psyche and can have a negative impact on the healing process.
Unfortunately, the fact that seniors fall can only be prevented with a few tools. A rollator, a walking stick or professional support from geriatric nurses can partially reduce the risk. In order to be able to rush to help in the event of a fall, an emergency button as a bracelet or in the form of an emergency call watch is very helpful for seniors. The emergency call bracelet from Alarmbands contacts the relevant people via the associated app or SMS when the integrated emergency button is pressed. The emergency call watch with fall sensor from Alarmbands also helps seniors get help quickly if they fall.
The integrated SOS button on the smart emergency call watch calls pre-saved contacts. In case of doubt, emergency services can now also be contacted. The emergency call bracelet or emergency call watch with GPS and intelligent fall detection is the ideal companion for seniors. Older people feel significantly safer and their relatives can also trust that they can get help quickly if they fall.
