The strategic alliance between SafetyCare and Alarm.com represents one of the industry’s most innovative uses of “telemedicine” — the use of technology to monitor and care for individuals from a remote location. Here are the remarkable advantages of EMT Link Plus:
•
Independent seniors and disabled individuals can remain in their homes, while family members and care providers can check in on them and provide assistance if needed.
•
Sensors (door, window, medicine cabinet, pantry, motion, environmental, and others) send reports to Alarm.com’s wireless 24/7 two-way communications system. Family members and caregivers can check in via the web dashboard or a PDA to monitor sensor activity without invading loved one’s privacy.
•
No phone line is required; loss of phone service does not affect reporting.
•
Notifications of important sensor activity or prolonged inactivity can be customized and sent as cell phone and e-mail alerts.
•
Wireless panic buttons, pendants, and wristband transmitters can be used by seniors to send an alarm and connect via two-way voice link to EMTs on call at the SafetyCare Response Center.
•
SafetyCare EMTs have immediate access to the patient’s updated medical records, so they can share critical data with first responders en- route to the home during an emergency call.
•
Optional video monitoring feature enables loved ones to look in on the home in real time via one or more live camera feeds, as well as set up event-triggered recording rules to capture video clips of relevant activity.
•
EMT Link Plus system can be installed and up and running in 20 minutes. All sensors are wireless (no holes to drill).
•
Base console has a 24-hour battery in case power goes out; alerts for power out, low battery, and power restored can be sent via e-mail or cell phone.
•
Multiple users (family members) can check in via the web dashboard. Alerts can be sent to multiple family members and caregivers.
