Your loved one can go where they want, when they want − all while staying connected!

Features include:

Fall Sensor – Calls for help whether you push the button or not!

This unit is specifically designed to detect a fall and automatically dial the Central Monitoring Station to ensure your loved one receives help promptly.

If no sudden movement is detected within 10 seconds, an “unconsciousness” alarm will be raised. Help can also be reached 24/7 by pushing the button.

Automated Medication Dispenser – Rest assured meds are taken correctly

Approximately 25% of all nursing home admissions are related to improper self-administration of medicine!3 

This unit provides a simple, reliable solution to managing multiple medications by dispensing medications at preset times. If a dose is not taken on time, the Care Center will call to remind your loved one.  No more worries about:

  • Forgetting to take a dose.
  • Taking a double dose.
  • Taking at the wrong time.
  • Opening and closing pill bottles.
  • Identifying pills or bottles.
  • Privacy of type and quantity of medications.
Vital Signs Monitoring – Relax Knowing Mom & Dad are Safe & Healthy!

Save time and money and reduce unnecessary hospital and ER visits by monitoring chronic conditions, such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, hypertension and COPD, from home!

Did You Know? 

  • A Department of Veteran Affairs study found a 25% reduction in the average number of days hospitalized and a 19% reduction in hospitalization costs for patients using Telemonitoring.
  • Chronic disease constitutes roughly 75% of all health care spending.
  • Approximately 18% of patients are readmitted within 30 days of their hospital discharge (New England Healthcare Institute).

When vitals are taken with Direct Link’s vital signs monitoring units, all the data is transmitted and displayed via a secure website that allows healthcare professionals to monitor the results. 

If the vitals are not taken within a specific time frame and according to a care plan, The Care Center will call to remind your loved one. We then follow up as necessary with caregivers or healthcare professionals.
