Fall detection
- The fall alarm sensor uses an algorithm to recognise the difference between ‘hard’ falls and other movements. Like many similar devices on the market, it cannot guarantee to detect all falls because it is dependent on where it is worn and the amount of shock or impact from the fall. If you fall and can press the emergency button then you should do so.
- Fall detection in the Taking Care Anywhere and Taking Care GO works with the location-aware GO alarm in pendant mode only. If you have a pacemaker this option has to be turned off.
GPS coverage
- The Taking Care Anywhere and GO location-aware pendants will work in the UK, excluding the Channel Islands, and where there is a 3G or 4G cellular network to communicate
- The Personal Alarm Watch and Dementia Tracker Watch will work in the UK where there is a 4G cellular network to communicate
- All GPS devices subject to atmospheric conditions, radio interference, buildings, or other forms of interference that can block the GO’s connection to GPS satellites.
Heart rate monitor
- The Personal Alarm Watch and Dementia Tracker heart rate monitor is not medically certified and for guidance only.
