New iHelp Device Geared Towards Seniors in Bermuda

Help on-the-go with iHelp+ 3G

In November 2017 ICSS unveiled their latest addition to its medical alert system family: the iHelp+ 3G. Manufactured by Digicel & BTC, it’s a fully mobile pendant with an emergency button on it. The lightweight pendant, made from a durable rubbery material, dons a stylish look while the large button is positioned in such a way that the user’s finger can instantly find it. The device additionally features a 72-hour battery life that can be charged on a separate station.

The button incorporates all necessary features for saving the wearer’s life. It houses a set of gyroscopes and sensors, for instance, therefore the pendant is capable of detecting whether the person has collapsed. After a distress signal is sent – whether manual or autonomous – the company’s operator will contact the owner through the pendant’s speakers. However, communication between the two are not one-way as the pendant’s built-in microphone allows seniors to respond, too.

What makes the iHelp+ a convenient personal alert solution is that it’s constantly connected to a 3G cellular network. This way the button is not only mobile and wireless but it also opens up possibilities for other features such as an in-built GPS that determines the user’s location, therefore helping the emergency services to find the senior wherever they are. What’s even better is that family members can set up a geo-fence around the house, and with this feature enabled they will receive a notification the instant the elderly steps outside this digital boundary.
