Personal Response Systems
What Is Health Watch?

Health Watch is a personal monitoring system that provides immediate response to any situation 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week at the push of a button. That response could be responding to an emergency call for help or providing ongoing social reassurance.

How Does It Work?

The Health Watch personal response systems offer subscribers new, innovative technologies for advanced telecare, including remote medication dispensing, fall detection and state-of-the-art monitoring. The system can monitor medication compliance and physical activity, and will automatically self-test all system components every 24 hours for functionality and battery status.

When the help button is pressed, a trained operator at the Health Watch Response Center answers the call and communicates with the subscriber to assess the situation and dispatch professional help immediately. When the subscriber is having a minor problem, a neighbor or family member may be called to help. For more serious situations, an ambulance can be dispatched immediately. Whatever the situation, subscribers receive the assistance they need right away.
