SKeeper™: Wearable Personal Communicator with Distress Alarm
A New Level of Personal Safety
SKeeper™ has taken PERS (Personal Emergency Response System) and social alarm systems, to the next level. Fitted with a "Safety Call" button and built-in cellular communicator, it can activate a warning signal when needed, enabling wearers to be immediately contacted from any caller or via a secure Web interface, PDA, smart-phone or through a remote monitoring center.
Here’s a great way to keep tabs on Gramps or that little one. It’s called the SKeeper by Tadiran LifeCare, and it’s a wearable personal communicator with distress alarm. With its easy-to-use controls, it lets its wearer immediately contact predefined telephone numbers, such as a relative or emergency services. When the alarm is triggered, the unit can also send text messages to designated e-mail addresses. It can also track location and sound an alarm if its wearer goes outside a designated neighborhood. Plus, it can be remotely programmed from the Web. No pricing yet, but the unit will start shipping in the second quarter of 2006.
