| One less thing to worry about when traveling. |
Many seniors want to travel the world, but worry about
medical and other emergency situations when they travel. This can be a huge
concern, and one that detracts for the excitement of being able to go new
places and see new things. Fortunately for seniors, there is a new tool called
My Health Phone that allows access to health information from anywhere in the
world, and provides many other benefits that help eliminate many health and
emergency concerns when traveling. Here’s what you should know:
Travel is easier when you don’t have to worry about
emergency situations. Rather than worrying about whether or not you have all
the necessary information for emergency personnel in a different country to
treat you properly, you can just grab your My Health Phone and go enjoy your tours. You also do not have to stress
over what you would do if you were to fall, get hurt, or an emergency situation
were to arise. The My Health Phone has you covered.
Medical Emergency Lock Box:
My Health Phone stores electronic copies of living wills,
HIPAA releases and medical directives for ready access in emergencies. This
means that if you are a senior who is traveling, you do not have to carry a
binder full of emergency and medical information with you at all times.
Instead, you can access Proximiti’s My Internet Lockbox service, from your My
Health Phone (it is a complimentary service with My Health Phone’s service
plans). This service provides key medical information such as doctor’s names
and contact information, caregiver names and contact information, blood type,
allergies, living wills, medical surrogates, and official documents like HIPAA
releases. There is also a Personal Lock Box, where you can also store
non-medical emergency information, such as which medications you are on, and
the dosage, passport and driver’s license numbers, credit card names and
numbers, insurance contacts, and the like.
Beyond the travel benefits of the My Health Phone, and the
lock box that stores personal and medical information, this device offers many
other useful benefits for seniors and caregivers alike.
It is good anywhere you have cell phone service. Unlike many emergency response systems, this is a fully-functional cell phone which means you are not tethered to the range of your emergency response base in order to use it to call for help should something happen. The emergency function is large, easy to use, and prominently placed on the phone to make it accessible in emergency situations.
Check-in and Medication reminders:
The phone software was programmed to aid seniors in their
daily lives, it can be set up to provide specific or generic medication
reminders, to check-in on them, and more.
Peace of mind:
Provides peace of mind to caregivers with confirmations,
etc. The device offers check-in and medication reminders to the user, which is
extremely useful, and helps them feel safe, and helps them to keep track of the
medications they are on, and when they need to take them. They are asked a
question via email, text, or phone call, and their response (or lack of a
response) is sent to the caregiver, making it so they can stay on top of their
care without nagging them.
This tool is like the Swiss army knife of Personal Emergency
Response Systems. It is great for the active, on the go senior, who doesn’t
want to be tethered to their home.
