FallCall Solutions, LLC is a health technology startup that developed a mobile-first personal emergency response system (PERS) delivered via apps for smartphones and smartwatches. The company addresses the issue of falls and delayed emergency response among older adults by providing a modern, discreet alternative to traditional, often stigmatizing, medical alert hardware. Its platform integrates users, their 'Care Group' of family and friends, and professional monitoring services into a connected safety ecosystem.
FallCall Detect is a comprehensive medical alert application designed for the Apple Watch and iPhone. It incorporates patented technology to intelligently distinguish between high-impact falls, which can trigger an immediate call to an emergency monitoring service, and lower-impact falls, which alert a pre-designated group of caregivers. The service integrates user health data and provides a complete safety net for active older adults.
It solves the problem of non-use and stigma associated with traditional medical alert systems by offering a discreet and powerful safety solution on devices that older adults already own and use daily. This provides peace of mind for both the user and their caregivers.
The platform addresses the tendency for older adults to not use traditional medical alert devices due to their stigmatizing appearance and inconvenience. It also alleviates the anxiety caregivers feel about their loved ones' safety, particularly concerning falls and the speed of emergency response when living alone.
