What is a medical alarm?

It is a small, portable personal alarm device that can be worn around the neck or wrist or can be carried around with you wherever you go. It has a button that can be pressed in case of a critical situation and is usually connected to an emergency response centre that will dispatch help to a user’s location. There are also personal alarm devices with an option to send a medical alert to a user's emergency contacts when the button is pressed. Personal alarms can be used by people of all ages but are especially useful for seniors who may have difficulty reaching a phone in an emergency, as well as for persons with disabilities whose physical limitations may make it difficult to call for help in the event of a life-threatening medical emergency.

What are the benefits of using a medical alarm?

Mobile medical alarms offer a simple, cost-effective way to stay safe, independent, and connected — especially for those with health risks or who live alone. These discreet, portable personal alarm systems can quickly alert emergency responders in a crisis, providing peace of mind for users and their families. Easy to use and wear, personal alarm systems support active lifestyles without the need for complex home setups or constant supervision. Whether at home or on the go, personal alarm systems help ensure help is always within reach.

Which is the best medical alarm for carers?

The best medical and personal alarm is one that meets the user’s needs and gives carers peace of mind. It should have a simple alert button, fast emergency response, and features that support safety and independence. INS LifeGuard’s personal alarm systems go beyond basic alerts. These features include automatic fall detection, GPS tracking, two-way communication, TeleHealth services, medication reminders, and geofence alerts. Supported by our 24/7, our personal alarm systems ensure help is always available—whether the person is at home, in an aged care facility or out in the community.

What are the features of LifeGuard's medical alarm systems?

Fall detection - Available in the LifeGuard SmartTracker, this feature automatically detects falls and sends alerts to emergency contacts or our response centre. It’s ideal for those who may struggle to get up after a fall. GPS tracking - Our personal alarms include GPS location tracking to monitor a user’s whereabouts, which is especially helpful if they wander or get lost. Carers can check their location at any time. Two-way communication - Many of our systems allow users to speak directly with carers or emergency contacts, even if they're incapacitated or are not near their unit. This can be critical in an emergency, as it allows users to call for help even if they aren't able to respond. INS LifeGuard’s personal alarms offer peace of mind for seniors, people with disabilities, and their carers. By providing peace of mind and security, our personal alarm systems can help anyone live independently and safely in their own homes.

How do LifeGuard's medical alarm for carers work?

In the event of an emergency, your patient should press the button on their LifeGuard SmartHome LGX, SmartLink Medi Guardian, or mobile medical alarm. We can also supply a Fall Sensor that activates an alarm when a fall is detected. The alert will be received by a nurse at our 24/7 emergency response centre. A two-way speaker on your patient’s emergency unit will be used to interact with them by the nurse, who has access to your patient’s personal information and medical history. Your patient doesn’t need to be close to their personal alarm to be heard by the nurse. The nurse will assess the situation to determine what kind of help is needed. Depending on the severity of the problem, the nurse will contact either you, a family member, neighbour, friend, or emergency services. If the nurse is unable to establish verbal communication with the patient, an ambulance will be dispatched to the area. Whatever the situation may be, both you and your patient may rest confident that help is on the way. * INS LifeGuard’s personal alarms offer peace of mind for seniors, people with disabilities, and their carers. By providing personal alarm devices that deliver security and confidence, our solutions help individuals live independently and safely in their own homes.

For Carers

INS LifeGuard is a Registered NDIS Provider dedicated to helping those in your care live safely and independently at home

With a secure portal or mobile app, you can interact with the system to receive alerts and reports, monitor vital signs, and update details — all with their permission.

Our response centre is staffed 24/7 by highly experienced Australian nurses, guaranteeing immediate access to expert emergency support whenever you need it. This exceptional combination allows our team to do more than respond to emergencies. They can clinically assess, triage, and provide immediate medical advice.

Step 1

Press the Button to Trigger an Alarm

In the event of an emergency, press the button on your personal alarm system. We can also supply a Fall Sensor that automatically triggers an alarm when a fall is detected.

Step 2

Communicate with our INS Nurse

An alarm is sent to a nurse in our emergency response centre, who has access to your personal details and medical history. The nurse will call out to you over a two-way speaker on your emergency unit. You need not be near the unit to be heard.

Step 3

Assistance Arranged

The nurse will assess the situation and send whatever help is required – whether that be your emergency contacts (family member, neighbour, or friend), or emergency services.

Step 4

Dispatched Help if Necessary

If the nurse is unable to make voice contact, an ambulance will be dispatched to your location. No matter what the situation, rest assured help is on the way.

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.

On behalf of our independent living village I must pass on our sincere thanks as your team have been really impressive lately with responding to emergencies, especially regarding one of dear residents who required an ambulance yesterday whilst having lunch in our clubroom...response time was fantastic…..well done!

I want to thank two of your staff members who I spoke to recently. They were both so kind and understanding during what was an incredibly difficult time for us. Staff who are so caring, especially during such tough times, are truly a credit to any organisation. Thank you so much.

— Debra N.

I’m the manager of one of our new village sites, and I wanted to share some positive feedback with INS. The residents have been very complimentary of our team, especially the nurses who respond to the emergency alarms. They were lovely, and it’s clear we’re doing a great job. Well done, everyone!

Your phone and wrist button made me feel safe and secure in my home when through illness I felt vulnerable. The fact that I knew that I only had to press a button to have someone on the other end talk to me and arrange an ambulance allowed me to stay independent for as long as possible.

— Barbara

I want to extend my gratitude for your continued excellent service. My daughter shared that the old unit worked perfectly on Monday, helping secure an ambulance for Mum. The person from INS who assisted us was extremely calm and helpful. I thought you might appreciate this positive feedback.
