This October, Independent Healthcare Service is set to launch a new innovative falls detection system.

iFALL is a telecare wireless device with an incorporated fall detection system, GSM/SMS/GPRS communication capabilities and GPS positioning.

99% OF EFFICIENCY IN FALL DETECTIONS
Thanks to an optimized system based on a patented algorithm, the activity of the user is monitorized continuously and in real time in order to detect a fall and alert about it immediately.

AUTOMATIC HANDS-FREE COMMUNICATION
The device integrates a GSM/SMS/GPRS modem to send alarm messages and establish communication with a call-centre or an associated cell phone. Once alerted, the incoming call is picked up automatically without any intervention of the user and the communication is hands free.

USER POSITIONING
iFALL contains a GPS module, allowing to send geographical coordinates in every alarm or event. It is also possible to configure a security perimeter in order to generate alarms of inappropriate positioning, specially if the user has a cognitive deficit.

PANIC BUTTON FOR EMERGENCY ALARMS
One of the main features of the product is the panic button, a button with which the user can alert about emergencies to a call-centre or relatives. Pressing this accessible button, an SMS alarm is generated and it is re-peated every three minutes until a voice communication is established with the user.

iFALL IS COMFORTABLE AND EASY
The device is worn by the user at waist level (belt, skirt, trousers) during all day. The fastening system is com-pletely safe and does not affect to the mobility of user. It can be used indoor and outdoor.

OTHER EVENTS AND ALARMS
The system also detects when the user is wearing the device or not and offers other monitoring features and configuration of alarms.
