What is it?
The ‘Pearl Advanced’ is a smart, easy to wear pendant with fall detection technology. If a fall is detected, or if the personal help button is pressed, ‘Pearl Advanced’ communicates bi-directionally with a SEVEN-D Lifeline Base Unit, which sends an alert to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), summoning help for the user. ‘Pearl Advanced’ has an elegant, discrete, casing that is water resistant and can be worn in the bath or shower. ‘Pearl Advanced’ automatically detects when a ‘hard fall’ has occurred and generates a fall alert to summon assistance.
Who is it for?
Those most likely to benefit from having the fall detector are:
- People who have previously experienced a fall.
- Living independently and not in residential care.
- Mobile, by themselves or with an aid, but are not in a wheelchair.
- People without significant cognitive impairment, so they can understand how to summon help and cancel a false alert.
‘Pearl Advanced’ has four available settings, and people can choose which one best suits their needs. People who are at high risk because of frailty, epilepsy or have diminishing cognitive abilities, benefit from the automatic ‘hard’ fall detection.
