Ruf aid bracelets: Your lifesaver for more security in old age!

The quality of life of older people alone at home is often at risk, but an innovative system should now help. Seniors living today in Upper Austria can fall back on the practical call help bracelet of the Red Cross, which was specially designed for this target group. Klaus Kieslinger, the head of Rufhilfe in Upper Austria, explains: "The bracelet is intended for people who have no immediate help in the area." With over 17,500 active bracelets, the Red Cross offers around 28,000 help a year, an important leash for many. The price of only 30 euros a month makes it affordable for many, and it is associated with reimbursements due to the tax compensation, which makes use even more attractive.

technological support in emergencies

The call aid device includes a base device and a portable emergency call station that can be worn in the form of a waterproof bracelet. According to the information of the Red Cross , the alarm works uncomplicated in an emergency: a simple pressure on the alarm button immediately sends an emergency signal. Even if the user cannot speak, a trained specialist receives all the necessary information in the emergency control center and can send help immediately.

If you want, relatives can also register as emergency contacts. If the contact person is not available, paramedics come: immediately used in the inside to provide help on site and, if necessary, carry out an emergency check. If necessary, the person concerned is transported to the hospital. If everything is fine, the senior remains of course in his familiar environment.
