Notable Features of Our GPS Mobile Medical Alert Systems
At Medical Care Alert, we take your and your loved one's safety very seriously. To get you the help you need during an emergency situation, our medical alert systems include these notable features.
Cellular Communication:
- HOME & AWAY MINI uses the T-Mobile 4G LTE cellular network to allow users to get help across the US, both at home and away. Neither you nor your family need to purchase T-Mobile cellular contracts; the cellular coverage is included in the monthly service fee for the HOME & AWAY MINI medical alert system with GPS.
- No personal cell phone is required - the MINI has it's own cellular chip (SIM Card) built in.
Automatic Fall Detection:
- Automatic Fall detection is an optional service for HOME & AWAY MINI and uses patented algorithms to detect falls.
- If a fall is detected, users will be connected to specialists who can dispatch emergency services if needed. Users will be able to tell specialists if they do not need assistance.
- We cannot guarantee that the service will always accurately determine a fall. It is advised that users always press the button if they need help.
- The fall detection feature can be enabled and disabled by calling customer service at 877-913-3680
GPS Location Services:
- HOME & AWAY MINI utilizes A-GPS technology. A-GPS stands for Assisted Global Positioning System. It enhances the performance of a basic GPS’s location time and accuracy.
- Compared with regular GPS systems, A-GPS provides much faster positioning even when GPS signal conditions are weak. A-GPS takes less power (saving battery life) and time to acquire satellite and cell tower signals and finds the user quicker.
- Under stand-alone GPS operation, a GPS receiver typically needs more than 30 seconds to receive the satellite position data and other satellite information required to compute a position.
- In weak signal areas such as urban canyons, building interiors or locations surrounded by tall trees, where the receiver has limited or no direct access to the open sky, determining a positioning can take much longer.
- A-GPS can locate a moving object within 5 yards in most cases, depending on the signal strength from satellites and cell towers.
- The MINI device reports its location every 30 minutes when out of the charging cradle. This is to save battery life.
- The MINI is NOT a “real-time” GPS tracker. Notifications are not sent instantaneously, but when the device reports its location. To obtain current device location, tap the “Locate” tile on the app.
WiFi Location Technology:
- HOME & AWAY MINI can detect Wi-Fi hotspots around the user to enable care specialists to locate the user in an emergency and to help determine if the user is at home. Wi-Fi and internet service is NOT required, but if you have it, the MINI will take advantage of it for location services.
Cellular Triangulation Location Technology:
- Cellular triangulation uses three towers to determine a phone location within three-quarters of a mile. While this may not be as accurate as GPS, it provides a better back-up location system with limited signal.
- Using cell towers to detect location is not as accurate as GPS. Locating a mobile phone based on a single cell tower can place the mobile phone in a broad area, but it cannot pinpoint it. As the phone connects to more towers, the accuracy improves. By using cell tower triangulation (3 towers), it is possible to determine a phone location to within an area of about ¾ square mile.
- In densely populated urban areas, the cell towers are close together, and a much closer estimation of phone location can be made than in a rural area, where the towers are far apart.
- If the nearest cell tower is busy, the cell signal would be picked up by the next nearest tower which could decrease location accuracy to beyond ¾ square mile or 30 meters of that cell tower.
NOTE: Fall detector does not detect 100% of falls. If able, users should always push their help button when they need assistance. System requires daily charging, and access to the T-Mobile Wireless Cellular network.
