Signal for Help Instantly, From Anywhere

Wearable panic buttons are highly effective at decreasing response time during an emergency situation. The simplicity of a single-press button allows the wearer to signal for help in a matter of seconds. When combined with an emergency notification system, several people are informed of the alert as soon as the button is pressed, allowing them to enact a fast and coordinated response.  

Increased accessibility in medical emergencies or physical assault situations. During these situations, individuals are often unable to reach buttons placed on a wall, desk, or within a smartphone app. This leaves the individual in a helpless situation where they are unable to send out an emergency alert.

Decreased risk of escalating aggressive behavior. Reaching for and pressing mounted buttons or triggering alarms sends a clear signal to the aggressor that the individual feels threatened. This can cause aggressive behavior to escalate faster. The discrete nature of pressing a silent wearable button allows the individual to call for help without signaling to the aggressor that they feel threatened. 

Generally, smartphone connected wearable panic button devices are smaller, lighter, have a longer battery life and are more cost effective than standalone panic button devices.  

Standalone panic button devices connect directly to a cellular or wifi network whereas smartphone enabled buttons leverage your phone's network connection to send out alerts. This makes standalone devices more reliable if the user doesn’t have a cell phone with them throughout the workday but comes at the cost of being more inconvenient to carry/wear, more frequent charging requirements, and additional monthly fees for cellular data plans.  

No. The SolusGuard wearable panic button only shares the users location when the button is pressed, and knowing an individuals location is critical for effective emergency response. We take privacy seriously, and it is common for staff to have concerns anytime a device is capable of sharing their location. This is why we ensure a users location is only shared in critical situations and that the user is always aware when their location will be shared.
