This sensor will automatically and quickly place a call for help if it detects that the wearer has fallen. It is comfortable to wear, unobtrusive, robust and waterproof, thus making it unnecessary to remove when bathing. An integrated rubber button minimises the chance of accidentally triggering the alert, yet also allows for easy “blind” activation through clothing. The silver-coloured nylon neck cord rests comfortably against the skin and is easy to adjust for seniors with limited dexterity.
