| Fast response = faster recovery |
How can you help insure that if you fall, you get the quick
emergency response that is needed? Having the right tools to help you maintain
a safe, but independent life is key. Should you take a fall, being able to
contact someone for help, or put in an emergency call is important. While there
are many services available for in home call buttons, what happens if you fall
while out tending to your garden? Taking a walk in the early morning? Or
traveling? Is there an emergency response system that is not limited by the
confines of your home’s walls?
My Health Phone is a new tool that can aid you in staying
safe, and help you get the fast emergency response you need, regardless of
where you are. It is a cell phone with pre-programmed access to help screens,
with a large button to help you call 911 in case of an emergency, such as a
fall. Here’s what you should know about My Health Phone:
More than a
traditional personal emergency pendant-
A traditional emergency response pendant is going to work
only in the home and sometimes only within a certain radius of the base. This
is great if a fall occurs within these boundaries, but should the fall occur
elsewhere, many emergency response systems would not be helpful. My Health
Phone is a fully functional cell phone, which means it works anywhere there is
cell phone service, providing greater range of use, inside and outside the
home.
Big 911 Button-
Seniors are often shy of technology, especially when it
appears complicated. This is why emergency response systems that are merely a
pendant are so attractive. My Health Phone, while sophisticated software to
provide so much more than just emergency response, is easy to use and
intuitive. The phone is pre-programmed with a large help screen, making it easy
to call even after a fall.
Extra benefits-
Important
information:
When a senior experiences a fall or other emergency
situation, having access to medical directives, living wills, HIPAA releases,
and other important information will make the jobs of medical personnel much
easier, and insure the senior has control over their treatment. My Health Phone
offers complimentary access to Proximiti’s My Internet Lockbox service, which
allows seniors to carry an Emergency Medical Information card with you that can
give emergency personnel immediate access by fax or computer to your critical
medical directives. In addition, these same documents are stored electronically
and can be accessed via the phone. Having information such as blood type,
allergies, etc. on hand and easy to access in an emergency situation can make a
significant difference in the care.
Alerts Caregivers of
possible problem-
My Health Phone software can be easily configured to
check-in with seniors, give medication reminders, etc. via text, email, or
phone call. The caregivers are then able to set up automatic calls, texts, or
emails to notify them of any problems, such as negative responses, or no responses
from their loved one. However, it does even more, it also provides the ability
for the senior to reach the caregiver when help is needed but 911 contact or
emergency help is not. These messages can be pre-recorded and send with a
simple push of a finger.
