Real Stories, Real Impact
Gaining Independence: Poppy’s Journey with INS LifeGuardian®
At 25 years old, Poppy has faced significant medical challenges. She lives with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), which causes her to fall 5-6 times a week. She also experiences chronic low potassium, often leading to prolonged hospital stays—sometimes lasting up to 17 weeks.
Poppy first heard about INS LifeGuardian® through staff at Austin Hospital, who recommended the app to help her manage her condition. Now, with the support of her Apple Watch and INS LifeGuardian®, she can live independently. Her watch detects falls, while INS monitors her high heart rate, alerting her when her potassium levels may be low and when she needs medical attention.
Because of this support, Poppy was recently able to move out of her family home and into her own place. When I spoke with her, she was overjoyed to have gained this independence and confidence. She shared that one of her goals is to give her mother a break and, hopefully, a well-deserved holiday by shifting the responsibility of her care to INS.
Poppy’s story is a powerful reminder of how technology and support can transform lives. At INS LifeGuardian®, we are proud to help people like Poppy regain their independence and peace of mind.
How INS LifeGuardian® Made a Life Saving Difference For Margaret
We are proud to share real stories about how our technology is helping Australians stay safe and healthy.
While reviewing Margaret’s vital signs, we noticed her heart rate had dropped to a concerning level of 36 bpm. Acting immediately, we contacted her to encourage a doctor’s visit, despite the busy holiday season.
After visiting the Heart Hospital, it was discovered that Margaret’s medication dosage was too high, affecting her heart rate and kidney function. Thanks to INS LifeGuardian®, the issue was flagged early, allowing her to get timely treatment and avoid further complications.
Even the hospital staff were impressed by how effectively INS LifeGuardian® identified the problem! This is the impact we strive to achieve, helping people like Margaret and their loved ones feel safe, supported, and cared for.

Features
24/7 Personal Alarm and Emergency Response
Emergency assistance from trained emergency responders 24/7, no matter where you are.* Whether you manually trigger an alarm by pushing a button, activate it with a custom voice command, or rely on automatic detection for falls or car crashes, we've got you covered. Beyond emergencies, our healthcare professionals are always available for medical advice or even just a comforting chat, ensuring your mental and physical well-being are always prioritised. INS LifeGuardian® is your 24/7 guardian angel, providing peace of mind whenever you need it.
* INS LifeGuardian® requires connectivity for you to send alarms and receive a call back.
Geofence
INS LifeGuardian® lets you set Geofence areas, creating a virtual boundary around a specific location. If the wearer crosses this boundary, an alarm is triggered and sent to family or caregivers through the INS LifeGuardian® Connect app. This feature is especially beneficial for individuals with cognitive issues, like dementia, who may be at risk of wandering.
GPS Locator
When an INS LifeGuardian® alarm is triggered, the user's GPS location is automatically sent with the alarm, enabling INS to provide precise location information to emergency services if needed.
Voice Activation
You can set a custom Siri phrase to trigger an alarm, like “Hey Siri, send help,” to trigger an alarm, enabling you to request assistance even if you can’t press the help button.
Safety Check-ins
Whether you're an employer monitoring a remote worker's site departure or someone who enjoys evening jogs, INS LifeGuardian® lets you set check-in timers for added safety. If a check-in is missed, an alert is triggered to ensure someone can check on you and send help, if required.
Employers can manage and schedule these check-ins for their staff through our Manager’s Portal.
Fall Detection and Prevention
INS LifeGuardian® harnesses the Apple Watch's advanced capabilities to detect falls and alert our qualified healthcare professionals instantly. If a fall is detected, our nurses can communicate with you through your device and dispatch help, whether it's emergency services or your nominated contacts, even if you can’t respond. Additionally, INS LifeGuardian® monitors trends like gait and steadiness, alerting you to potential fall risks before they happen. This proactive approach can help prevent injuries and avoid unnecessary hospital visits.
Vital Signs Monitoring
INS LifeGuardian® utilises the health data collected by your Apple Watch to provide a comprehensive overview of your wellbeing. Vital signs like heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and respiratory rate are continuously monitored by INS LifeGuardian®. If any readings fall outside your personal thresholds, the app will alert you and offer suggestions, with the option to speak to a nurse if you wish.
For critical events, such as irregular heart rhythms or sustained abnormal heart rates, an alarm is triggered, prompting immediate contact from a nurse who can assess the situation and arrange emergency services if necessary.
Nursing Reviews
Each month, one of our Registered Nurses can reach out to review your vital signs, discuss your physical and mental well-being, and conduct a comprehensive health assessment. After the review, INS can generate a detailed report that can be sent to your GP, specialist, care provider, employer, or directly to you—only at your request and with your consent.
Crash Detection
Leveraging Apple's advanced technology, INS LifeGuardian® detects car crashes and triggers an alarm to INS LifeGuard. INS will then contact you and dispatch help to the crash location, even if you are unable to respond.
Concierge Service
Easily request assistance with booking appointments or finding service providers when needed.* Villages can customise service providers and fees for their residents through the Manager's Portal, ensuring tailored support.
* Coming soon.
User Privacy
Easily update your personal information directly in the INS LifeGuardian® app. You can set and manage permissions, allowing Emergency Contacts, Village Staff, or Care Providers to view or edit your details. You have full control to grant or withdraw these permissions at any time.

Now that my husband is recovering, we remain deeply appreciative of the compassionate and efficient service. We are so grateful for the reliable and comprehensive support provided by INS.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for the consistent high-quality service you have provided to The Willows Residents during 2023. Your team responds with efficiency and kindness at all times and we value the attention and care given through all the calls we have made to you. THANK YOU!!!
Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your time and patience on the phone today Nicole. As a virgin INS user, I emailed you. You called me right away and were so patient and took the time to learn a little of what our village required from this system. You then patiently explained the functions of the portal, paying attention to the functions which [our village] would find helpful.
I just wish to say thank you to the INS staff member who assisted us, Alison. She was very calm and caring and made the effort to check in on the situation over the several hours the call was active. She helped alleviate some of my distress, and I hope that you can note this on her file or at least pass on my thanks to her once more.
