Does exactly what is says and solves the problem of the big systems that dial out for any thing. Works perfectly and keeps me updated when needed and allows me to decide what the response should be – peace of mind for the wearer too and absolutely accurate in its fall detection. No false alarms – well done guys

Brought this for my mother who lives on her own but is getting less stable on her feet and had a recent tumble in the garden. She is amazingly independent at 92 and she doesn’t want this to change. The GPS system can’t be activated at the moment as she doesn’t own a smart phone, but I hope if she did fall when out and about someone would come to her aid. It was her falling at home, or in the garden and not being able to get up that was her main concern. I haven’t activated the ‘are you OK’ checks at the moment as she was a bit overwhelmed with the initial instructions of two buttons to call me )ie the SOS call), one button to cancel and potential false alarms. She missed the vibration, or just wasn’t reacting quick enough during the test calls we did together, but got it after a few try’s. I really don’t think even with a false alarm she would get to the phone in time, when it calls to see if she wants to cancel it, but it’s good that you can practise and even do a quick test to ensure it is working. So we are taking things slowly, and it’s nice that there is the option to activate the ‘are you OK’ for future. She hadn’t declined to wear it, which I did wonder may be a battle! She has worn it permanently since we got it, she seems to just forget its there now so it must be very comfortable, and not rubbing. I will start to check her skin when I visit to ensure it isn’t getting damp underneath. My mum isn’t able to put the wristband on herself, not to the extent of how snug it needs to be, although this could be a bonus as if she was able to remove it, I think she would forget to put it back on! We are just starting out with this alarm system, but my mum seems to be happy with it and likes that no-one else is involved but that it is me who would be alerted through a computer and can go round to check on her should she sound the alarm. This covers all of the potential concerns, as the alarm should go off by itself should she fall, she doesn’t need to keep her mobile phone on her (and she struggles to remember how to work the phone as she rarely uses it, preferring the landline). I can also check on the recorded band activity (movement) via my mobile, which is a reassuring bonus.

As a product it works great!
Easy to setup and a very good app.
BUT.. it has issues!
The watch strap rubbed my mothers skin to the point where it made her bleed so she was unable to wear it anymore making it useless.
The ‘are you ok check’ is a good feature but it only vibrates for a second and isn’t very strong so easy to miss.
I emailed tech support twice and got no response
Unfortunately I had to return due to the comfort reasons, a shame as this has potential to be superb

The strap length needs more options, one setting is way too tight, the next along and the watch slides round my dads wrist.
It constantly tells me it’s not heard from my Dad and it’s not connected, when it’s plugged in and his sat in the other room, this some times happens 4-5 times a day.
The morning alarms don’t seem to work all the time.
I’m not sure if there is a setting to stop it calling my Dad first when it’s activated but he answers it and then it never goes any further.. my Dads not tech savvy and struggles with his phone so this interrupts the call coming to me or my siblings.
I will stick with it and continue to work with it, as all my dad needs to understand is he needs to press both buttons to get me to turn up, but all the other features arnt working as well as I had hoped.

Easy to set up, took only an hour to set up the base station the wristband and 3 responders. Took a little longer to download and install the app onto an android phone.
Family’s mind is now at ease knowing that we will now if we are needed

Having an elderly mother living alone has always been a worry for us, especially after a fall during the night recently left her unable to get up and contact anyone. Fortunately she was ok after this incident but it got me worrying about what could have happened.
So I did some research to see what technology was available that help if something like this happened again. This is when I discovered the Acticheck wristband system.
After discussing with my brother we decided that it was the best option. A simple, no complications wrist band that could be worn all day, that had 1 year battery life (so no messing around charging it) and that was completely waterproof and generally robust.
We set the system up using the clear instructions and found a suitable location for the base unit and performed the clever range check the system incorporates, to help ensure the system works all around the house and garden.
We then configured the various responder phone numbers and tested them.
We configured the “I’m ok” request to buzz the wristband once a day in the morning, and all Mum has to do is simply press one of the side buttons to acknowledge.
And that’s all she has to do. Just wear the band and leave the rest to technology. We receive an email every morning with a status update and a quick look on the Acticheck portal shows that Mum is up and about and going about her business, safe in the knowledge that should she need help she just has to press and hold the two buttons together, and the system will do the rest.
It’s a very clever bit of kit that has given our family peace of mind.
