Fall Detector Pendants and Fall Detection Devices

What is an intelligent fall pendant a.k.a “fall alert devices”?

An intelligent fall pendant or “fall alert device” is a small, lightweight device which can automatically detect if the wearer has fallen and raise an alarm call for help, via a paired Tunstall medical alarm unit. The pendant also provides the wearer with a means of manually calling for help from anywhere in their home 24 hours a day, and cancelling a call in the event of a false activation.

How do falls detection devices work?

Fall detection devices are normally worn as a personal alarm pendant around the neck or wrist. When the wearer loses their balance or experiences a fall, the pendant registers the sudden movement using a variety of intelligent sensors that tracks the wearer’s usual speed and altitude, and any sudden changes.

If your personal fall alarm detects you’ve experienced a fall, it will automatically trigger an alert so that Tunstall’s 24/7 Customer Care team can immediately respond, talk to you, and summon appropriate help. The alarm can also be triggered manually with a single press of a button on the alarm pendant.
