They usually consist of an emergency button that is integrated into a bracelet, necklace or smartphone app. In contrast to stationary home emergency call systems, mobile emergency call solutions work regardless of where you are – both at home and on the move.

  1. Quick help in an emergency: simply press the emergency button to immediately connect to an emergency call center or stored contact persons.
  2. Independence and safety on the move: older people can move around freely without the worry of not being able to call for help in an emergency.
  3. GPS positioning for precise location determination: In the event of an emergency call, the exact location can be transmitted to rescue services or relatives.
  4. Reassurance for relatives: family and carers know that help can be provided quickly in an emergency.
  5. Simple operation: Most devices are intuitive to use and do not require complicated settings.
  6. Integration into everyday life: Modern emergency call solutions can be integrated inconspicuously as a smartwatch or in a cell phone.

Thanks to mobile emergency call solutions, older people can enjoy their everyday lives with greater safety and independence.
