Quick help in old age thanks to the alarm system

It can happen at any time. You fall and need urgent help. If you are alone, this can quickly become life-threatening. In this case, alarm systems can also be a lifesaver.

In emergencies, every second counts

In an emergency situation, every second counts in order to quickly avert life-threatening situations. The risk of a dangerous accident within your own four walls increases, especially with age. Statistically, around a quarter of all people between the ages of 65 and 79 fall at least once a year. This proportion is almost a third for people aged 80 and over. The cause of falls can be very different and may also be due to underlying illnesses. However, falls primarily occur during everyday activities without loss of consciousness or the influence of external forces. Especially when such a fall results in serious fractures, quick help is essential for the patient's complete recovery. But what do you do if you live alone or there is no one around you?

Small lifesavers from senior telephones to home emergency calls

So that seniors can quickly call for help in an emergency, technical assistance options already exist, such as the German Red Cross's home emergency number. By pressing a button on the bracelet, a direct voice connection can be established to a home emergency call center. In an emergency, they can decide what to do and also send help. An emergency button can significantly lower the inhibition threshold for calling for help.

However, seniors or people in need of help can also take off the bracelet and forget to put it back on. If you fall, you cannot call for help via the emergency number. Others don't want to wear this button. Another point you should keep in mind is that the button on your body alone does not send an emergency call in the event of an accident. The person seeking help must press it. If he forgets to press the button or is not conscious, help cannot be summoned this way

Combination with the LUPUSEC 24 alarm service

If you have a surveillance camera installed, you are not only protected against break-ins, but you can also connect it to your relatives' smartphones. You can arrange “check-ups” with your loved ones at regular times. If you cannot be seen, need help or are looking beamingly into the camera, your relatives can react accordingly. Additionally, the LUPUSEC 24 alarm service can provide support for such emergency situations. If this is alerted and you cannot be reached via your phone, the security staff will check on you and inform the emergency doctor at the same time.

With clever tools such as a motion detector in a central location in the apartment, you can also implement automatic monitoring. For example, if no movement is detected within an adjustable period of time, the motion detector sends a message to an XT Smarthome central unit, which then forwards this directly to your smartphone. You then have the opportunity to check directly whether everything is OK.
