EmCare, a company offering electronic and mobile care through the efficient use of technology, has researched and heavily involved itself in the development of active ageing. This has led the company to offer a range of products and services that provide continuous and real-time health and environmental monitoring.

Given the development of different technologies and devices, emCare helps empower men and women of all ages to be more independent, confident and secure through the control of their health and well-being.

EmCare partners with market leaders and distributes devices, such as the On-Wrist Fall Trigger, which raises the alarm with the 24/7 call centre once it senses a fall. Such a device has helped change people’s lives, empowering them to achieve a better and more independent quality of life.

Other home devices developed by emCare, which provide peace of mind, are the smoke detector and intruder alarm – which not only act as an alarm but inform the call centre so that emergency action can be taken.

For those on the move, emCare also provides mobile phones designed for seniors, which come with an SOS button on the back for emergencies. When pressed, the 24/7 emergency contact centre is alerted. The centre then immediately notifies the emergency services and next of kin with the exact pinpoint location of the user via GPS.
