True but if the person had collapsed and was still alive but slowly deteriorating.. then it would help them. No system can ever catch all scenarios 100% of the time. A button on a phone is pointless if the OAP is laying at the bottom of a stair case with broken bones and can't move.
I get what Peter was saying.. it's not a 100% guarantee and perhaps he was nervous people would consider it one and get angry when it "failed" them. But I still think it's better than nothing and looked so simple. |

In other words, Koreans are rude and impatient.

So if it wasn't available that means someone else has got it and could quite legally trade on it.
Find a name that hasn't been used or buy-out an existing one. BEFORE you even start. |

If there was an App they could press on the phone to alert someone during the night that would be better.
Peter's point was "What if the person suffers an issue at 3am and has died by 5am" .. the system wouldn't help that person.. fair enough. But if the person has an accident for example and is laying on the floor unable to move but still alive.. then the system would give them a chance when the following morning arrived and their family didn't get the signal. I think that's better than nothing personally. |

It's no better or worse IMHO. Every system would have failings. If someone suffers ill health during the night there is no guarantee they'd be awake let alone able to move and press a button on a phone.

Why do all these people that have food and sauces always try and get in to the supermarket?
They must know they will be squeezed so hard they will end up making pittance profit! |

I think the only way it would work if the person could contact someone for help themselves. But I think there are already panic buttons you can wear round your neck that do this already.
I get what Peter meant.. but I still think the kettle solution is better than nothing. If a frail person falls down the stairs in the morning and has a broken pelvis.. a system connected to the kettle gives them a chance. No system? They could be laying there for 24 hours.. even longer depending on how often someone calls in on them. That's the point of the system. It's a once a day green light. Not a guarantee their loved one isn't going to die.. but better than nothing if there is a risk of collapse/falling/accidents. |

I think it's great. You get a text each morning to say your elderly relative is OK. No text.. you think "Hmm thats odd" and you give them a ring just to make sure they're ok and not collapsed on the floor. It's genius.
Of course they could also use the technology so that parents know that their children, who never call home, are OK. |

But again sorry to bang on but what if the person can't operate a button? What if they don't even wake up? No system is going to be 100% effective. That doesn't exist.

There are already pendant alarms that are worn round the neck or the wrist 24/7. My mother is 95 and lives alone and has had one for years.
Snap. I just said that.

Yes, I think it's a great idea too. I have an 80 year old mum who lives alone since my dad died but she's 250 miles away. It would be nice to get a regular alert that she is OK and if not then I could call a neighbour to check on her.
Of course they could also use the technology so that parents know that their children, who never call home, are OK. |
