Fall Detection and Prevention

Why a Fall Detector Is Worth It

Published 17 November 2025 Updated 16 June 2026 2 minute read

Falls happen fast and can be devastating. That’s why many people are upgrading their personal alarm systems to include a fall detector.

Unlike standard pendants that must be pressed manually, our fall detectors use motion sensors to automatically detect sudden movement, like when someone trips or collapses. If the alarm senses a fall, it sends an alert to our 24/7 monitoring centre. If there’s no response from the user, we’ll escalate the call; contacting family, carers, or emergency services.

It’s ideal for:

  • People recovering from surgery or stroke
  • Older adults who live alone
  • Individuals with conditions like Parkinson’s, MS or low blood pressure
  • Anyone with a history of falls or mobility issues

One customer shared:

“Dad slipped in the bathroom and couldn’t reach the button. The fall detector triggered an alert and they got help to him in minutes.”

Fall detectors give everyone peace of mind, the wearer knows they’re protected, and loved ones feel reassured from a distance.

If you already use our monitoring service, fall detectors are available as an easy add-on. You can also bundle them with other products, like bed sensors or smoke alarms, to build a complete safety setup.
