Philips
Lifeline GoSafe Medical Alert Service **w Live
Philips is finally*releasing its
Lifeline GoSafe personal
Alert system after
previewing it at CES almost two years ago. Similar to other “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” devices, it lets the user press one button to quickly get in touch with emergency services, loved ones, or anyone else pre-arranged to help. Unlike most other systems, the neck-worn component works just about anywhere there is a cell-phone connection.
The necklace has a fall detector built-in, which will automatically call for help after a fall if the user doesn’t do it herself. Additionally, it will pass on location information, gathered using a combination of six different techniques, *to emergency services to make sure they get to the right spot expediently. The necklace allows you to talk with the emergency response folks*that pick up the phone to get the appropriate help needed.
The necklace runs for a week on a single charge and the stationary unit placed inside the house makes sure the communication link always remains strong.
