How Automatic Fall Detection works
- Sensors in the pendant can detect a sudden change in motion that would indicate a fall.
- If there is no motion after 10-15 seconds, the pendant will send a signal to the console to initiate a call for help. The signal is recieved at the Emergency Response Monitoring Center flagged as "fall detected".
For best results, fall detection pendant should be worn close to the body mid-chest level, by the breast plate. NOTE: Fall detection cannot detect 100% of falls and the user should always press the button if they need help and are able to.
Get Peace-Of-Mind With Our AutoFALL Fall Detection Pendant
The AutoFALL automatic fall detection* sensor pendant will detect a fall and automatically send a fall alert signal to the emergency response center.
Even if the user cannot speak, the operator will dispatch help.
The fall detection Pendant is OK in the shower, highly water-resistant so it can be used in the shower where many falls occur. User replaceable battery should last up to 18 months to 2 years with normal use.
How Automatic Fall Detection Works
Specifically, automatic fall detection detects movement changes that resemble a fall. The fall detection pendant will initiate a call to our emergency response center once a fall is detected. The signal sent to our emergency response center is labeled as “Fall Detected” so our operators already know your situation before they speak with you.
The motion detector is sensitive and may call in situations where you haven't fallen — this is called a false positive. Any quick elevation changes (like plopping down in a chair) may trigger the call response team, such as if you quickly lie in bed or get into a vehicle. Just let us know you are safe, and you are good to go!

Is Fall Detection Right for Me?
