Why People Use It
When help is needed, a phone isn’t always within reach.
One press, instant alert.
Contacts get a phone notification within seconds, with the location of the button that was pressed.
Someone always gets it.
If the first contact doesn’t acknowledge the alert, it moves to the next person on the list.
Silent when it needs to be.
Staff can call for help without sounding a siren or drawing attention.
How It Works
Pressed in the room, delivered to your contacts.
Home Help Buttons
● 3 buttons ready
Worn on the wrist or a lanyard, or mounted where help is most likely needed.
The press is received on-site; a siren or chime sounds if you want one.
Each contact gets the alert with the location; if nobody acknowledges, it escalates.

Worn or mounted?A wearable button goes everywhere; mounted buttons are never misplaced.
Who responds, and how fast can they get there?Contacts should be people who can actually come.
