Call4Care Goes Mobile
Call4Care, in conjunction with NEAT Electronics, has made elderly care available on the move. This is thanks to the mobile emergency phone called NEMO. This small, light and durable GPS cellular phone allows you to access emergency assistance even when you are not at home. The GPS allows operators to track your location in the event of an emergency, and the simple button layout makes it extremely easy to use. NEMO can send an alarm with the push of a button on the face of the unit, as well as through an external alarm trigger.
In Torrevieja, Spain, 40 pensioners who were living alone were given a mobile device like NEMO and immediately allowed them to communicate directly with two different contacts in an emergency. This will provide complete peace of mind for people who have elderly parents or relatives who are still able to head out to town for shopping or other tasks. The GPS on this mobile for elderly people relays a map to the person on the other end of the call, allowing you to quickly track the person in need of help and arrange proper assistance. This can save valuable time in the event of an accident or emergency, especially if your loved one is out on their own.
Aside from the panic button on the phone, the other buttons can be assigned to other mobile or landline numbers which you can call by simply pressing the assigned button. Call4Care will make further announcements about the future availability of this mobile emergency phone based service.
"I felt my wife was slipping into unconsciousness. It was touch and go. Had it not been for Call4Care she would not be here today. The medics stabilized her before taking her by ambulance to hospital. Today she’s baking me a cake!!"
