How Does It Work?

There are three simple parts to the TraceCare GPS Medical Alarm system - the clip, wristband and dock.

The Clip

The clip lives on the dock at home and must be carried when you’re out-and-about. It can easily be attached to a key ring or slipped into a pocket or purse.

It has an alert button which, when pressed, will send your location by using the latest GPS mobile technology to your friends and family. They will receive this via text and email.

The Wristband

The wristband is waterproof and designed to be worn at all times. It senses motion and detects falls as it has an accelerometer. The wristband communicates wirelessly with the clip. By pressing the button, you can send an alert.

The Dock

The dock charges the device and can help you find a lost clip or wristband within your home.

 

The Tracecare GPS Medical Alarm is great. I have recommended it to quite a few of my patients. Its perfect for those people who might wander and get lost when out and about. It means family members can see where their Mums or Dads are at any time and not worry about whether they are going to make it home. Anyone who is active but has a physical or mental health issue should consider one of these – the devices that just work at home are not useful for everyone. I have recently got one for my mother as she is very active but has a physical issue and I feel much more relaxed about her now. We can find her if she is out and gets into trouble.
