- ✓Tripping: A person trips, for example over the edge of a carpet, and falls hard to the floor. Such falls are usually reliably detected by the watch.
- ✓Abrupt arm movement: If the hand hits a tabletop, for example, the watch may interpret this as a fall. However, if the watch then registers normal movement, the alarm will not sound.

1. Adjustable sensitivity: The trigger threshold can be adjusted in three levels – high (reacts even to slight vibrations), medium or low.
2. Protection against false alarms: If the sensor detects a potential fall, the wearer has 20 seconds to cancel the alarm directly on the watch. Additionally, JAMES automatically checks in the background whether it was actually a fall or whether the detected movement suggests something else.
To avoid unnecessary false alarms, the alarm will not sound if the arm continues to move after the detected event. Therefore, if the wearer is still able to move, the alarm can be manually triggered at any time by pressing a button.
