A Health & Wellness Focused Personal Alarm for Women

INS LifeGuard • Sep 11, 2023

When it comes to health and safety, every woman who chooses to live an independent life deserves to feel secure and in control. With conditions like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes on the rise, it is essential for women to be able to get help when needed. Not to mention, falls and accidents can happen without warning, which can leave anyone helpless and vulnerable.


With this, it has become important for women to have the necessary protection they need to feel safe and secure in their daily lives. A personal safety alarm offers a reliable solution to help women protect themselves in emergency situations. While they may not directly prevent danger, personal alarms give women the ability to call for help should they need it.


In this blog, we'll explore personal safety alarms in detail, particularly the suite of health and wellness-focused personal alarm solutions offered by INS LifeGuard. We'll discuss how they work as well as the benefits of having them. Ultimately, we'll also recommend the best personal alarm for women available so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.


What is a personal safety alarm for women?

For women, there are personal safety alarm systems that are specifically designed to provide an extra layer of security in the event of an emergency or a potential threat. These are called self-defence personal alarms and they work by emitting a loud noise or producing a strobe light when activated to send an alert to someone nearby.

As these personal safety alarms are typically designed with the female user in mind, most of them are compact and easy to carry. They can be worn as a necklace or clipped onto clothing or bags like a keychain attachment for easy access and protection. In general, self-defence personal safety alarms are effective in helping women feel more secure and confident when walking alone, walking in secluded areas, or using public transportation remotely.


At INS LifeGuard, what we offer is different. Our personal safety alarm solutions aren't focused on self-defence. Rather, our personal alarms are focused on the overall health and wellbeing of the user. Keep on reading to learn more.

Are personal safety alarms worth it?

Personal safety alarms are without a doubt worth it for many individuals, especially for women who are living and working in high-risk areas, or women who have a medical condition. Since not all people can access help 24/7, having a personal safety alarm is essential to ensure that help is on the way in the event of an emergency.


If you are someone who works in an isolated area, travels a lot, walks late at night, or goes outside often to run errands, then personal safety alarms can be a worthwhile investment for you. Ultimately, if carrying a personal safety alarm gives you the peace of mind that you need to proceed with your daily tasks, then it is worth considering to have.



Takeaway

For women, carrying a personal safety alarm provides them with increased protection from potential threats and dangerous situations. Whether you're working remotely, going out for a run, or walking late at night, having an alarm with you provides peace of mind knowing that help is just a button away. Indeed, personal safety alarms are more than just an investment; they can be lifesavers.
