Guardian MediWatch 4G Fall Detection Personal Alarm (With Lanyard)

The MediWatch (Lanyard) Version comes with the coveted IP67 certification which makes it showerproof and dustproof.

It operates on Android v 8.1.0.

Voice Prompts in Any Language

Like the Guardian Lingo pendant, we use our own custom voice prompts for this device. Simply let us know the language you'd like and we'll put it in there! Anything other than English costs an extra $30.

Calls and Messages up to 10 Emergency Contacts

When help is needed, simply press and hold the side SOS button for 2-3 seconds until it vibrates. The MediWatch (Lanyard Version) will sequentially call your contacts so you can tell them what help you need. Contact will be sent a link showing your location on Google Maps. If your emergency contact does not answer within a short period of time, the device will automatically call the next contact.

If the SOS button was pressed by accident or to cancel the alarm, the voice prompt will announce that the user simply needs to press the SOS button again to avoid alerting the contacts.

Once answered the user can speak with their contact directly – just as with a mobile phone.

GPS Tracking

There are 4 ways in which the MediWatch (Lanyard Version) provides its location:

1. Send a text code to the number of the pendant. A reply text will provide a link to Google Maps.
2. During an SOS sequence (SOS press or fall triggered)
3. When it notifies contacts of a low battery
4. When it notifies contacts that the device was powered off

Fall Detection

Easily switched on or off, there are 10 sensitivity settings.

If the device senses what may have been a fall, a call is made to emergency contacts, similar to the SOS button being pressed. The difference being that the voice prompt identifies the alarm as a fall alert.

Note: Due to the varied nature of falls, some falls may not register. We can adjust the sensitivity if necessary. However, in the event of a fall, do not wait for the Fall Alert alarm sound but press and hold the SOS button if you are conscious.

Speed Dial up to 10 Contacts

The MediWatch (Lanyard Version) gives the user the option to speed dial up to 10 phone numbers. Simply access the contacts using the menu navigation and swipe until the desired contact is highlighted on the screen, then tap the screen.

Low Battery Alert

When the battery percentage remaining drops to 20%, a voice prompt warns the user that the battery is low. The screen will also indicate that the battery is low.

Avoiding unwanted Incoming Calls

When the MediWatch (Lanyard Version) phone number is called it will answer automatically. If you prefer, the MediWatch (Lanyard Version) can be programmed to either:

1. Allow anyone who knows the phone number to call and speak to the user.
2. Allow only the emergency contacts to call and speak to the user. This blocks unwanted scam callers.

Magnetic Charging

The MediWatch (Lanyard Version) has a simple magnetic charging cradle. When connected, a voice prompt announces that the device is charging. If the device was off before being placed in the cradle, it will automatically turn on within a minute.

2-Way Voice Communication

Once answered the user can speak with their contact directly – just as with a mobile phone. Volume is increased or decreased by positioning the MediWatch (Lanyard Version) closer to or further from the user’s ear.

Limitations

• The device has a touch screen and is sensitive to touch; beware of false activations.
• The SOS call system rings each contact one at a time with a message in between each call asking if the user wishes to cancel the SOS from calling through the list. This means it's in the user's hands to cancel the alert from calling the next contact.
• The settings app is available but also has an option within it to reset all programmed settings.
• All apps need to be determined upon purchase and can only be installed/uninstalled from our office in Warwick. Changes of mind for apps are the responsibility of clients (i.e. GSP will not cover postage costs for changing apps).
• Voice prompt files are determined upon purchase and can only be installed/uninstalled from our office in Warwick. Changes of mind for voice prompts or their length of time playing are the responsibility of clients (i.e. GSP will not cover postage costs for changing voice prompt files).
• If worn on the wrist like a watch, the fall detection is less effective compared to being worn on a brooch or lanyard. This is due to the fact that fall detection is based on acceleration being built up over a short period of time. Since the wrist/hand movement is less consistent and unpredictable during a fall, the automatic fall detection may be less likely to activate.
• The device is showerproof but cannot be worn while swimming or in a bath.
• Droplets of water in the shower may trigger the touchscreen as it is quite sensitive. If this is a concern, our screen protector will reduce the touch screen sensitivity to reduce accidental phone calls from the shower.
