How It Works
How the LifeFone Emergency Response Service Works
Summon Help
Press the personal help button on your pendant, wristband or
wall-mounted help button. A
signal is sent to a small base unit in your home, and then to the LifeFone
monitoring station.
LifeFone’s “On The Go” Service includes a small mobile device
that provides GPS (Global
Positioning System) services to locate you in case of an emergency away from
home. When
you press your help button, the mobile device contacts the LifeFone monitoring
station, and
notifies LifeFone of your location.
LifeFone’s Fall Detection Service includes a pendant which can
summon help for you
automatically in case of a fall. The Fall Detection Pendant will connect to
either the LifeFone
base unit or mobile device, which will contact the LifeFone monitoring station
for you.
Immediate Assistance
Your personal Emergency Care Instructions are
displayed to the LifeFone Care Agent, who summons
help for you. LifeFone will stay in contact until the
medical emergency is over
Help Comes to You
LifeFone dispatches your local EMS or a loved one,
depending on your situation and personal preferences.
We notify your designated family, friends and physicians
according to your Emergency Care Instructions.
