Is the Personal Alarm Watch Suitable for My Community?
The DX-9mw Personal Alarm Watch is a lightweight, personal
emergency response device designed to enhance the safety and independence of
your residents. Weighing just 18 grams, this watch provides 24/7 access to
Daktel Australia’s dual Grade A1 Monitoring Centres, ensuring professional
support during emergencies.
Key features include:
- Two-way SOS communication: Enables real-time voice contact with emergency responders at the push of a button.
- Optional fall detection: Automatically triggers an alert in case of a fall, offering extra peace of mind.
- Advanced location tracking: Utilises ten-fold positioning technology for precise tracking, even indoors.
- IP68 water resistance: Safe to wear in the shower, where falls often occur.
- Health metrics reporting: Upon activation, the watch shares vital health data such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and body temperature, potentially assisting in faster and more informed ambulance dispatch.
In addition to its emergency functions, the watch supports
inbound calls on all plans and can make outbound calls on select
plans, operating much like a mobile phone.
The Personal Alarm Watch is not designed to replace community-wide
home monitoring systems typically facilitated under a General Services Charge.
Instead, it complements current solutions by offering personal alarm monitoring beyond residents' homes. This makes it ideal for residents using common
areas such as roadways and tennis courts. Further, the watch can be used
anywhere in Australia with mobile network coverage, such as in a shopping
centre or on holiday travels.
Residents can purchase the DX-9mw directly through MyHomeFone,
Daktel Australia’s retail arm, with eligibility for various
government-subsidised programs, making it accessible with little to no
out-of-pocket cost.
