The Importance of GPS Tracking for Personal Alarm Safety

INS LifeGuard • September 26, 2024

In today’s fast-paced world, personal safety is paramount, particularly for older individuals or those with specific health needs and mobility challenges. GPS tracking technology has become an essential tool for enhancing safety and providing peace of mind to users and their families. At INS LifeGuard, we understand the importance of GPS tracking, which is integrated into the INS LifeGuardian® app — available on both Apple and Android devices. This app transforms your phone into a personal alarm, connecting you 24/7 to our on-call nurses. Additionally, our LifeGuard SmartTracker, a stylish pendant, and the LifeGuard SafetyWatch also ensures that users can maintain their independence while staying connected to vital support.


Understanding GPS Tracking

Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking utilises satellite technology to pinpoint the location of a device in real time. This capability allows caregivers, family members, and emergency response services to monitor a person's whereabouts, ensuring that help is readily available when needed. For individuals who may experience cognitive challenges, health issues, or are lone workers, GPS tracking can be a lifeline, providing reassurance that they are not alone.

How GPS Tracking Enhances Safety

Real-Time Location Monitoring

GPS tracking enables caregivers and family members to monitor the real-time location of individuals using INS LifeGuard’s mobile devices. This feature is particularly vital for those who may wander, become disoriented, have fallen, or feel unsafe, allowing for rapid responses in emergencies.

Geofence Alerts

INS LifeGuard products come equipped with geofencing capabilities, which allow users to set predefined safe zones. If an individual crosses these boundaries, caregivers receive instant notifications, enabling them to act swiftly to ensure the user’s safety.


Emergency Response

In the event of an emergency, GPS tracking helps emergency responders locate individuals quickly. This is particularly important for those who may be unable to communicate their location due to health issues or other circumstances.


Peace of Mind for Families

Knowing that a loved one is being monitored through GPS tracking provides invaluable peace of mind for families. They can trust that help is available at the touch of a button, whether their loved one is at home or out and about.


INS LifeGuard's Commitment to Safety

At INS LifeGuard, we integrate GPS tracking into a range of personal alarms and monitoring systems to enhance user safety. Our devices are designed to provide reliable support, allowing individuals to lead independent lives while having the security of knowing help is always within reach.


Our team of trained nurses is available 24/7 to respond to alerts and provide assistance. With access to users’ health information, our emergency response team can offer informed support, ensuring that every situation is handled with care and expertise.

Conclusion

GPS tracking is more than just a technological advancement; it is a crucial component of personal safety for individuals and their families. At INS LifeGuard, we are committed to leveraging this technology to empower users, providing them with the independence they desire while ensuring their safety is never compromised.
