Introducing SafeAlert™
Introduction to SafeAlert™ and Pilot Program
The SafeAlert™ technology is innovative and cost-effective. When the system detects a resident, visitor, or other individual in a fallen or stranded condition in a stairwell, our SMARTer building solution promptly alerts the appropriate building personnel. The responder’s prompt intervention significantly improves the outcome of a safety or medical incident which can also mitigate costs for the building operator. SafeAlert™ is secure and thoroughly protects individual privacy & dignity.
