My Home Call is a personal safety and emergency call solution designed to provide rapid identification, real-time location, and access to emergency information for vulnerable individuals and general public in critical situations.
It addresses the growing need for faster and more effective intervention such as dementia-related wandering and severe allergic reactions, while also offering broader applications for personal safety and communication.
At its core, My Home Call is built around the principle of instant access to critical information. In situations where every second counts, knowing who someone is, where they are, and how to contact their loved ones can be the difference between a positive outcome and a tragic one.
Current solutions, such as MedicAlert bracelets, medical cards, or relying on memory, often fall short in providing this information quickly and reliably. My Home Call aims to bridge this gap with a user-friendly and technologically advanced approach.
For individuals living with dementia, wandering is a common. When someone living with dementia becomes disoriented and wanders away from home or their care setting, the resulting anxiety and search efforts can be incredibly distressing for families and caregivers. The longer an individual is missing, the greater the risk they face from exposure, accidents, or other harm.
My Home Call offers a solution by providing real-time identification and location sharing.
An individual living with dementia using My Home Call can be instantly identified, their designated contacts are immediately alerted and provided with their precise location, allowing for a swift and safe return. This rapid response minimises the time spent searching, reduces the risk of harm, and provides invaluable peace of mind for families.
Similarly, for individuals with severe allergies, rapid identification and access to medical information are crucial in the event of an allergic reaction. Anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, requires immediate treatment.
Delays in identifying the allergen and accessing necessary medical information can have fatal consequences. My Home Call addresses this by providing instant access to a user's saved medical information, including a detailed list of allergens and emergency contacts. In the event of an allergic reaction, bystanders, first responders, or even the individual themselves (if able) can quickly access this information, facilitating prompt and appropriate medical intervention.
Beyond these core use cases, My Home Call offers broader applications for personal safety and communication.
My Home Call achieves this through a combination of user-friendly technology and robust security measures. Users create a secure profile containing their essential information, including emergency contacts, medical details (such as allergies and medical conditions), and other relevant data. This information is protected behind their biometrics ensuring that only authorised individuals can access it.
In an emergency, a passer by, a first responder or the user can activate My Home Call. This triggers a series of actions:
My Home Call is designed to be accessible on any device with an internet connection, including smartphones and tablets. This ensures that users and their contacts can access the system regardless of their device preferences or availability.
In essence, My Home Call allows individuals and their loved ones to take control of their safety in emergency situations.
By providing instant identification, real-time location, and immediate alerts, My Home Call reduces response times, minimises risk, and provides invaluable peace of mind. It’s a proactive safety net designed to protect those who need it most.
