Familyr is a wearable medical alarm for New Zealand seniors that sends SOS and fall alerts directly to trusted contacts with GPS location and two-way voice—without monthly monitoring fees.
Elderly individuals can greatly benefit from using a Familyr Medical Alert System (MPERS) Personal Emergency Response System (PERS). Familyr enables them to quickly call for help in case of a medical emergency, fall, or other crisis. A PERS device, typically worn as a pendant or wristband, allows them to press a button to alert caregivers, family members, or emergency services. This can be particularly helpful for elderly individuals living alone, as it provides an added layer of safety and peace of mind for both them and their loved ones.
It’s a vital tool for promoting independence and well-being.
