PERS (PERSONAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES)

What is PERS

PERS technology allows frail, elderly and/or disabled persons to remain in the comfort and security of their own home, thus avoiding inappropriate and expensive institutional care.

PERS systems mainly consist of a personal radio transmitter pendant and an automatic telephone dialler, typically located in individual's homes. When a client activates their PERS pendant the telephone dialler receives the transmission and commences a series of telephone calls to manned 24 hour emergency response centre. An appropriate emergency response is then initiated.We estimate the PERS Industry provides services to in excess of 100,000 clients widely dispersed throughout Australia in both urban and rural areas. PERS equipment is provided to a further 50,000 people (approx.) in residential aged care facilities (independent living and self care apartments) using staff monitoring of residents calls.

What is PERS ?

Romad has just entered into the PERS (Personal Emergency Response Service) market with Australia’s first premier medical alert system that integrates cellular and GPS technology, allows protected individuals anywhere in the nation to summon help while inside and beyond the home.

mPERS (mobile PERSONAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES)

Romad provides a technology platform that allows families and caregivers to always be in the loop, enabling them to locate loved ones real-time via the Web. The Romad personal emergency alert system, protects users whether they’re in their living room, garden or out to dinner, guarding their independence and relieving caregivers’ apprehension. Monitoring service staff is just a push of the button away from talking with the protected person as well as providing any necessary emergency services. Existing personal emergency systems only work in and just outside the home, while Romad is the first to use a national cellular network providing coverage nationwide

Romad Enterprise Server

Pressing the SOS Alert button will trigger a number of events:-

• Simultaneously a two way voice call is automatically opened between the ARC and the user to ascertain their situation and respond according to their predefined escalation procedure.

• These are transmitted to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) using the Romad ARC platform which will display the alert graphically,

identify the user and provide their location.

• GPS location co-ordinates are acquired by the Romad RSP-100

“Hello Mr Davis, is everything OK?”

• The Lone Worker platform is updated by the RES providing Administrators visibility of all alerts.

How the Device Works

Service Features – Pre Alert

•The Pre Alert feature is used inside some buildings where GPS coverage may not be available

•By holding down on the number 4 button, the user can record and transmit a voice message, leaving information that can be used in conjunction with location data.

• This could include a meeting time, place, persons details and the duration of the meeting.

•This is a requirement for the BS8484.

Pre-Alert / Amber Alert

Man down

setting within the Romad device that alerts the user at chosen intervals during a period of time they are working at risk. the duration can be set in 30 minute increments up to 24 hours. Once the user has defined the duration they can choose the desired interval. The interval increments are preset to 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes & up to 1 hour. Now the settings are complete the user can start work and at the interval selected the device will ring or vibrate and the user must acknowledge this by pressing the green call button. If the alert is not acknowledged after 3 attempts the device will raise an alarm with the ARC to alert them to the situation.  

The ARC can then make a phone call to the user, if this goes unanswered they can then make a special call to the Romad unit which will be automatically answered by the device so an assessment can be made and assistance sent if required. Full location information will also be provided to the ARC to pinpoint the whereabouts of the user.
