NEW TECHNOLOGY: AuTOALERT BY LIFELINE

Only one medical alert pendant can call for help even when a subscriber can't.

Introducing our new breakthrough service innovation, Lifeline with AutoAlert.

Lifeline with AutoAlert not only provides all of the benefits and functionality of our standard service, but it also provides subscribers with an added layer of protection. Lifeline with AutoAlert automatically places a call for help if a fall is detected and the subscriber cannot press his or her Personal Help Button (PHB) because they are disoriented, immobilized, or unconscious after a fall. Additionally, Lifeline with AutoAlert can help support earlier intervention in cases when someone falls, cannot get up from the fall, and chooses not to summon help immediately.

The new service offering is enabled by an easy-to-wear pendant-style Help Button (FD100) that has unique embedded technology to determine when a fall has occurred and to automatically initiate a Help Call if the fallen individual has not gotten up within 30 seconds. This functionality is based on a microprocessor in the AutoAlert PHB, which uses a sophisticated algorithm and proprietary technology to receive data from multiple sensors that detect changes in the subscriber’s movement. It is designed to accurately detect falls while minimizing false alarms.

The AutoAlert PHB is similar in size and weight to existing PHBs and is designed to be worn around the neck. The AutoAlert PHB is also waterproof, allowing subscribers to have continuous protection. In addition to providing help at the push of a button, the Lifeline with AutoAlert option now offers subscribers an added layer of protection!

Personal Emergency Response

Lifeline with AutoAlert protocol will be similar to that of our standard Lifeline Medical Alert Service, with several distinctions.

  • A new alarm, “Fall Detected,” will occur if a fall has been detected and the individual did not get up within 30 seconds, whether the Help Button was pressed during that 30 seconds or not.
  • Personal Response Associates will initially respond to “Fall Detected” alarms as they do for alarms generated by a standard PHB: by calling out and asking if help is needed. If no clear contact is made, they will hang up and call the subscriber. An additional protocol has been created for when a “Fall Detected” signal has been received and no contact can be made with the subscribers; in these situations, the PRA will immediately call EMS

Smart Power

SmartPower battery management in the AutoAlert Personal Help Button preserves energy by functioning in a low-power mode during normal activity and then ramping up when a fall is detected. This provides a comparatively long, 18-month wearing life with little maintenance.

To ensure maximum battery life and an optimal user experience, all new subscribers should receive a NEW AutoAlert Personal Help Button.

Some GE and Conair brand telephone answering machines may interfere with the help button signal. Moving the answering machine away from the Lifeline unit will remedy the conflict. Please let your Lifeline installer know about your answering machine at the time of installation. Testing your button and range once a month and after adding new telephone equipment is recommended to all users.
