What is the Best Personal Alarm to Buy in 2022?
INS LifeGuard • Dec 14, 2021
Are you an older person and want to maintain your ability to live independently? Perhaps you are a lone worker who is looking to ensure your safety while out on the field? Or maybe you have a disability or medical condition that needs to be supported? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then a personal alarm might be worth considering.
What is a Personal Alarm?
Personal alarms are devices that give you the ability to get help if anything bad happens. Whether you fall down at home, feel unsafe, get lost, become injured, or encounter any problems that require immediate help – all you have to do is press the emergency button on the device.
The good thing about personal alarms, especially the newer ones, is that they work regardless of where you are. Most have GPS tracking enabled, which allows them to provide reliable location-based data to your loved ones or emergency personnel so that they can find you.
What is the Best Personal Alarm in 2022?
INS LifeGuard offers featured personal alarm devices the LifeGuard SmartTracker and LifeGuard SmartMobile App. These two are on-the-go solutions that have their own unique features (refer to the feature comparison below for more details), but what they have in common is that 24/7 emergency response is provided by nurses and other health care professionals. We know of no other company that can make this claim.
INS LifeGuard also offers a range of other devices that can be used as a personal safety solution by the elderly, lone workers, or those with medical conditions or a disability. In addition to providing safety features, these devices also have other features that can improve your quality of life.
Take a look at the feature comparison table below for more information on which features are available in each device.
