The Revolutionary In-Touch Fall Detector
|
Advantages of Getting Immediate Help
Once you've fallen, we can get help to you immediately. Falls can lead to major changes in your life. They can cause a loss of confidence, a fear of going out, and can compromise your personal independence. If you are at risk of falling – especially if you live alone – one of the best steps you can take is ensuring that reliable and immediate help is available to you at all times.
Just consider these facts:
• More than one third of adults ages 65 and older fall each year.
• Of those who fall, 20% to 30% suffer moderate to severe injuries such as hip fractures or head traumas that reduce mobility and independence, and increase their risk of premature death.
• A study on fall victims reveals that 67% of those who fell and remained helpless on the floor for more than 72 hours without getting assistance suffered premature death, compared to only 12% who were helpless for less than one hour.
Wearing the In-Touch Fall Detector with its automatic, instant connection to our Monitoring Center operator ensures you'll get the medical help you need immediately after a fall – allowing you to take advantage of medicine's "Golden Hour" in which a patient's chances of a good outcome are increased if he or she receives treatment within the first hour of being stricken.
