Assure Connect | Personal Emergency Alert | Who is Assure Connect for?

Older people living independently
With an increasingly aging society more people are finding themselves needing to rely on others to help them through unexpected situations.

Assure Connect™ extends independent living unobtrusively by enlisting the support of close friends and family.

Assure Connect™ communicates with family and friendship groups providing older people with an easily accessible support network. Assure Connect™ will recognise both the home phone and mobile numbers providing reliable emergency contact both in and out of the home. Friends and family are just one button press away.

Not every situation is a Triple Zero emergency. Worse, many people have trouble deciding if a situation warrants a call to emergency services. Assure Connect™ allows quick consultation with a friend or family member who can help to make that decision.

If it is agreed that emergency services are required, the friend or family member can bring Triple Zero into the conversation by simply pressing the zero key on their phone creating an immediate three-way conversation.

The three-way conversation is immensely powerful. It allows the friend or family member to guide emergency services to reach the caller providing information or interpreting.

Assure Connect™ is ideal for helping people to resolve their problem when they are distressed, worried or too confused to dial a number.

People living with disabilities
Technology can greatly assist disabled people to cope with everyday challenges and unexpected situations.

Calling for assistance using Assure Connect™ enables friends, family members, and even healthcare professionals to remain immediately accessible and provides a built-in escalation system should the designated care provider be unavailable.

The three-way conversation feature provided by Assure Connect™ allows other people to be brought into the conversation as required. These are people that can be trusted to handle the call for help.

Children outside the home
Parents manage the balance between being over-protective and allowing children to experience the world. That doesn’t stop us from worrying.

Assure Connect™ provides some comfort knowing that if they do get into trouble Assure Connect™ will allow them to make contact with at least one family member or friend even if we just happen to be unavailable at the precise moment that they call for help.

Assure Connect™ helps families to take control of emergency situations and to put in place an effective emergency response plan.

Lone workers
Employers have an obligation to ensure that people who work alone are kept safe and that means providing them with a way of calling for assistance if they get into difficulties.

Assure Connect™ greatly improves the utility of a mobile phone as an emergency alert system thus increasing its effectiveness for meeting duty of care requirements.

The ability of the Assure Connect™ system to call multiple people means that more than one person in an organisation can be tasked with the responsibility for receiving the call.

People living and working in rural areas
Farms and rural areas are some of the most dangerous work environments.

Farms and rural communities rely greatly on friends and relatives to provide assistance because emergency services are often delayed by distance.

Assure Connect™ provides a convenient enhancement to a mobile phone to raise the alarm reliably and inexpensively without resorting to more expensive security systems.

People living with episodic illness (for example allergies, diabetes, Parkinson's, epilepsy, heart conditions etc.)
Many people in society manage illnesses with serious symptoms that can occur at any time will little warning. Assure Connect™ can raise the alarm with only one press of a button on their phone. Even if only momentary contact is achieved all family or friends are alerted. Through a mobile phone Assure Connect™ is available both inside the home and outside – anywhere mobile coverage is available.

Non-English speaking people
Australia has an increasingly growing population of people who have little or no English language skills. Worse, people who speak English as a second language are likely to revert to their mother tongue in times of stress.

Assure Connect™ allows the friends or relatives of people with poor English skills to set-up a reliable contingency plan by providing the means for them to contact family or friends who can understand their language and act as interpreters when using the three-way call facility with emergency services.
