How it works
Welcome to MedAlert’s exclusive 24/7 Emergency Response Call Centre Service, where your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities. This optional service is an extension of our commitment to providing unparalleled support for you or your loved ones in times of need. With our dedicated team of professionals, you can rest assured that help is always just a button press away.
The 24/7 emergency response plan for MedAlert's smartwatch adds a significant layer of safety and peace of mind for users. This premium service ensures that in the event of an emergency—whether triggered by fall detection or a press of the SOS button—immediate action is taken to provide assistance.
1. Fall Detection or SOS Trigger Event
The smartwatch is equipped with advanced fall detection technology, along with an SOS button that users can press if they need urgent help. Either of these actions will initiate an alert to the 24/7 emergency response centre.
2. Automatic Call to Emergency Response Centre
Upon detecting a trigger, the smartwatch automatically places a call to the response centre. The trained respondent on the line has access to the user's vital information, including their medical history, live location from the watch, home address, and next of kin details. This ensures that they have a comprehensive profile of the user to make informed decisions.
3. Experienced Response Assessment
If the user can communicate with the call centre respondent, they will discuss the situation to understand the severity of the emergency. If the user is unresponsive, the respondent will quickly evaluate the situation based on available data and will escalate accordingly.
4. Appropriate Response Action
Depending on the severity, the call centre respondent will either contact the user's friends or family members listed as emergency contacts or, in cases where immediate intervention is needed, dispatch emergency services directly to the user's location. This flexible response plan ensures the right level of assistance is delivered quickly and effectively.
