Location services

If you want to protect your users and ensure their safety outside of their homes, a location-based safety watch is a good solution. For people who are prone to get lost, for example people with memory disorders, a safety watch is a vital device. The safety watch can be used both to locate a lost person and to make two-way voice calls.

About location-based safety watches

A GPS safety watch is a wristwatch and a safety phone in one, that allows the user to locate their position within a few meters at best. The watch has a powerful loudspeaker and microphone for calling the Alarm Receiving Center. The watch also provides telephone functions that allow the user to call relatives. The watch is especially suitable for active elderly or for those who are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

In case of an emergency alarm, the users are instantly connected to a care professional who assesses the situation and initiates the appropriate assistance and support.
