How personal alarms work

A personal alarm works by featuring a distinctive SOS button. When you press the button, it will trigger a call either to your nominated contacts or to a SureSafe operator, depending on which service you choose. You can the get the help you need. You can wear a personal alarm on your wrist or around your neck as a pendant.

Personal alarms are not all the same. Some have different features to others. Before you buy a personal alarm, we recommend you choose one with the features that suit your lifestyle.

The features include:

Do personal alarms work?

Yes, they do, because they get you the help you need quickly, and at the touch of a button. Wearing the alarm means it is always with you, unlike a mobile phone which is often left on a table or a kitchen unit.

When you fall ill or have a fall, minutes matter. The faster you can get medical assistance the better. If you are treated quickly for an illness such as a heart attack or a stroke you have a better chance of survival.

After a fall, you might also suffer from hypothermia from a cold floor, or dehydration if you’re left immobile for hours.

Wearing a personal alarm also means you don’t have to worry about having your mobile phone close to hand. You wear the alarm so pressing the SOS button is easy to do.

Our alarms are comfortable to wear. They are lightweight and discreet. You can even wear them in the bath or shower.
