How do panic button works

How an Atigo panic button works

In an Atigo panic button, as soon as the alarm is raised, the panel receives the signal from the various sensors within the room and sends it to the Atigo server, which in turn sends the message to the monitoring officer sitting at one of the strategic locations. He, in turn, informs the hospital or a medical clinic by messaging them or calling them instantly so that speedy action can be initiated. On the other hand, there is a simultaneous function that takes place as soon as the alarm goes off. The affected person’s relatives can give necessary medical aid before help arrives. This way there is an endless flow of signal to the end-user for the prompt reaction without any unnecessary hindrance.

Atigo’s panic button alarm works systematically and in a sequence and there is no margin for error at any point in time.

Why we need Medical Monitoring devices

We need medical monitoring devices to first detect and then prevent the occurrence of any medical emergency to an individual as and when it occurs. An emergency can take place without prior notice and unexpectedly. To avoid such circumstances, panic buttons have been designed to enable the person affected to raise an alarm so that necessary medical procedures can be provided within the stipulated time.

Panic buttons are devices generally used by the elderly to summon assistance when they have fallen or otherwise hurt themselves. Elderly adults use them at home, as an alternative to living in assisted care facilities. When the individual needs help, they simply press the panic button that immediately notifies a caregiver or loved one who can come to their aid

The following persons need medical monitoring device

Disabled Persons

Persons who are disabled or who are unable to move their body parts are in dire need of such a device to intimate their near and dear ones of any emergency so that help can arrive at short notice. It is hugely beneficial to persons permanently handicapped since they can notify the medical aid officer by simply pressing the button being stationed in one place.

Elderly people

Elderly and frail people can wear buttons like a wristwatch or hang it around their neck and use it whenever possible. They can send notifications to the local emergency monitoring station if there is a health-related risk and get medical help instantly.

Youngsters and Adults

Young girls, boys, and adults can carry the portable panic button in their shirt or trouser pockets and use it whenever there is an indication of any medical danger of serious nature.

The following places need a medical monitoring device

 Old age homes

Old age and caring homes are the most vulnerable areas where panic buttons for medical emergencies are a common sight. Due to significant cases of falls and other mishaps, occurring frequently there is an urgent need for such devices in such homes for better protection.

At homes, most of the elderly people complain of one or other ailments on a regular basis and such emergencies can be better tackled if there is a panic button installed or carried along all the time. Homes are the most common places where medical emergencies can occur anytime during the day and there is an intense need to have a panic button handy all the time.
