Your SmartlinQ Mobile Alarm is monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.The mobile Alarm can be programmed with up to 4 numbers as speed dials, so you can easily keep in contact with key people in your life such as relatives, friends and carers.
What Will CarelineUK Monitor?
CarelineUK receive the following alerts automatically from a SmartlinQ Mobile Alarm. Additionally we can allocate anyone of your pre authorised contacts (also referred to as a Guardian) to also receive any of the following alerts either by Text Message or email.
• GPS Locations
The SmartlinQ Mobile Alarm automatically sends its location to CarelineUK in intervals ranging from every minute to every hour. This can be altered according to your requirements. CarelineUK can also access your up to date location at anytime.
• SOS Activation
The SOS key can be simply pressed if you get into any difficulty - this opens up an instant conversation to CarelineUK, where an operator can immediately assist you and has access to your exact location by GPS. If necessary, the Operator will request assistance from the Emergency Services but will remain on the line for reassurance until additional assistance arrives.
• Fall Detector
The Smartlinq Mobile Alarm has very advanced software that can determine if you have suffered a fall or a trip. This will immediately trigger an alarm to a CarelineUK operator who will then call you on the device to provide assistance where needed.
• Safety Zones
We can set up to 4 virtual safety zones to provide additional peace of mind, perhaps allocating a 500 m zone around your home for example. This is especially useful if you suffer with mild dementia, Alzheimers or suffer with other physical or mental ailments. If you exit or enter a pre defined zone, an alert is sent to CarelineUK.
