Automatic Fall Detection plus Vital Health Monitoring & Reporting

Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury among seniors and the primary reason that most medical alarms / Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) are purchased today. Unfortunately, PERS pendants are not effective if your loved one is unconscious, unable, or  unwilling to press a button.  Studies have shown that in 4 out of 5 falls, manually activated medical alarms are never activated. This is where our Halo solution comes in. The Halo fall detection system is unique in that your loved one doesn’t have to press a button.  Our wearable device is equipped with state-of-the-art fall detection technology.  The devices use special sensors and proprietary, advanced motion signal processing techniques that allow Halo to detect falls in situations not previously possible such as:

1. Detecting falls that do not leave your loved one in a horizontal position (e.g. propped against furniture or a wall)
2. Eliminating the need to remove the device when reclining in a chair, sofa, or lying in bed.

In contrast, sensors based on older technology had a “horizontal lie” requirement, which means a senior user must remain inactive and horizontal. This is not always how people fall.   A fall can injure your loved one regardless of the final resting position.  Further, there are many normal activities that require you to be horizontal (such as reclining and sleeping). These activity restrictions limit your ability to enjoy life to its fullest.  myHalo fall detection technology addresses both issues.

In addition to fall detection, Halo automatically monitors other health issues and makes taht data available on a password-protected, secure website while alerts are delivered via text messages, e-mail, or a phone call from our 24/7 professional call center. It monitors sleep/wake patterns, mobility trends, heart rate, and skin temperature. Halo can automatically send alerts for a highly-elevated tempreature or an extended accelerated pulse rate, for example.

Imagine a solution that reduces your anxiety and allows the senior to age at home gracefully. With Halo they know their caregiver(s) will respond to problems instead of an immediate EMS response of a panic device action. Our solution allows them their independence, while offering you peace-of-mind knowing your loved one is okay. Imagine no longer having to worry when your loved one doesn't answer the phone. Imagine seeing they are okay by simply glancing at your smartphone, from anywhere in the world. Imagine a system so advanced that if they do fall, you will know instantly and automatically.
