"I bought this product following a fall. I was on the floor for 24 hours and I don’t know how I fell. I had no means to contact anybody to say that I had a fall. So I bought this product, set it up with emergency contacts and I feel so happy wearing this 24 hours a day."

An emergency alarm for elderly people is a simple device designed to help someone call for assistance quickly in an emergency. Often worn as a pendant or wrist alarm, it connects to a 24/7 response team at the press of a button.
Also known as a personal alarm or care alarm, it is commonly used by older adults living independently to provide reassurance at home and in the garden.
A digital personal alarm connects using a mobile network, so it does not need a telephone landline. This makes it more flexible to place in your home and ensures it continues to work as the UK moves away from analogue phone lines.
An analogue personal alarm connects through a traditional telephone socket. As analogue networks are being phased out, these alarms may require additional equipment or may not work as reliably in the future. Digital systems are now the most reliable type of emergency alarm for elderly users, as they are designed to be more future-proof and easier to use in any home.
The UK is moving from analogue telephone lines to a fully digital network by 2027. This change is known as the Digital Switchover.
Many older personal alarms rely on analogue phone lines and may need adapters or upgrades to continue working. The Digital Personal Alarm is not affected by this change, as it uses a built-in mobile connection instead of a landline, making it a reliable choice now and in the future.
