Falls are the most common cause of medical visits in Sweden. According to the Public Health Agency of Sweden, around 100,000 people suffer fall-related injuries each year, which corresponds to 7 out of 10 individuals.
More than 2,000 people die annually due to falls, making it one of the most common causes of death among people over the age of 65. It's a well-known fact that the risk of falling increases with age, but there are solutions that can reduce the consequences when an accident occurs. In the event of a fall, a quick response is critical, and every minute counts.
Everyday Safety with the Help of Technology
Technological aids are becoming increasingly important in providing security for the elderly. This is where the MiniFinder Watch can make a difference. It's a safety watch equipped with GPS, a fall sensor, and a panic button. Designed to quickly alert relatives or emergency services in the event of an accident—whether the wearer is at home or outside. The watch is connected via the 4G network and features real-time positioning. If the user falls, an automatic alert is sent to designated contacts. Additionally, the wearer can manually trigger an alarm with the push of a button in case of distress or emergency. The user can also communicate directly through the watch’s call function.
Full Oversight with MiniFinder Live
Through the MiniFinder Live app, relatives gain access to vital real-time information. The app provides a clear overview of alerts and notifications from the safety watch, making it easier to act quickly if something unusual occurs. In addition to alerts, the app also tracks other health data such as pulse and movement patterns, offering deeper insight into the user's well-being.
Fall Sensor Saves Lives
The built-in fall sensor is a key feature that detects sudden movements, such as a fall. In the event of a suspected fall, the alarm is activated automatically, enabling a rapid response. This is particularly important in situations where the user is unable to call for help themselves.
For many, the Minifinder Watch can mean greater independence and a more active life—with the reassurance that help is always within reach.
