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.

During a recent medical emergency, my husband and I were immensely reassured by the prompt and professional response from INS LifeGuard Service. Robyn, a team member at INS, provided calm and effective support, quickly notifying the ambulance team and offering assistance over the phone.

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.
