Most elderly people and those with medical conditions or physical disabilities prefer to live an independent life in their own homes. That independence is made possible with our ER-1 personal emergency response system.
The ER-1 has been specifically designed for medical alert applications for the infirm and the elderly. In the event of a medical emergency, the user presses a button on their emergency pendant, wristwatch, belt clip, or main console, and the ER-1 will call a monitoring facility.
The water-resistant personal emergency transmitter (PET) may be worn permanently, even in the shower. The PET confirms an alarm transmission to the console with a red indicator light and an audible beeper. Extended transmission range means the signal reaches the console, even when outside in the garden. The PET is also continuously monitored by the console, alerting the user when the ultra long life battery is running low.
The ER-1 may be programmed to send automated emails to inform family, caregivers and medical practitioners after an emergency activation has been dealt with by the monitoring station. It even has an automated 'pill reminder’ function.
On receiving the emergency signal, the monitoring station can talk to the end user via the ER-1 console in one of three hands free modes, as selected by the central station operator. Communications can be hands free duplex, one way speak only or one way listen only. These communication modes are dynamic and are selected to ensure communications are clear and accurate.
After an emergency activation has been dealt with by the monitoring station, ER-1 can automatically send up to three emails to caregivers, family or medical practitioners. The ER-1 can be sited on a table top or mounted on a wall. For the visually impaired, each button on the ER-1 is embossed with a universal symbol to identify the button's function.
A user activated medication reminder function beeps the console for up to thirty seconds, at a predetermined time every 24 hour period. This function helps ensure important medication is taken at the correct time, each day.
