What is a panic button for a veteran? How do I get the Alarm Bracelet? What documents are needed to register these services?
In Moscow, it is planned to provide a "panic button" for all lonely pensioners and disabled people. So far, the services of the "panic button" were provided only to single front-line soldiers.
As a rule, the panic button looks like a simplified mobile phone. It is enough to press any button to immediately contact the dispatcher of the Moscow House of Veterans. The dispatcher himself will decide which service to call - firefighters, doctor, police, etc. Sometimes such devices are equipped with a loud sound signal, designed to attract the attention of others.
A further development of the “panic button” idea for the elderly was the “panic bracelet”. Outwardly, it resembles a watch, only larger.
But the opportunities have become noticeably greater. The operator now monitors the patient in real time. Thanks to the use of modern technologies, the signal from the ward is displayed on an electronic map, so it is easy to determine where to send emergency services in the event of an emergency. The monitor can display the name, address, diagnoses, phone numbers of neighbors or relatives. There are also sensors that transmit body temperature, pressure and pulse. If a person falls, the fall sensor will react and the exact coordinates of the scene will be immediately known. The operator must immediately get in touch, if there is no answer - call an ambulance. There is even a strap open sensor.
In 2011, a social project "Alarm Button" was launched in St. Petersburg. Elderly residents of the city who have benefits have the right to free service "Panic Button".
"Panic button" is provided free of charge:
- invalids of the Great Patriotic War;
- participants of the Great Patriotic War (regardless of disability);
- former juvenile prisoners of fascism (regardless of disability);
- residents of besieged Leningrad with the 1st disability group;
- home front workers with the 1st disability group.
The service is issued in the regional Integrated Social Service Centers at the place of registration.
Details can be found on the website of the social support service "System of Care" (St. Petersburg).
How to get a panic button / bracelet on preferential terms?
You need to contact the center of social services for the population at the place of residence, providing the following documents:
- passport;
- health insurance policy;
- certificate of a participant or disabled person of the Second World War;
- pensioner's ID;
- a certificate of disability, if any;
In some cases, they may require a certificate from the polyclinic about the absence of contraindications to the provision of "panic button" services.
If it is difficult for an elderly person to independently draw up the necessary documents, this can be done by his legal representative with a notarized power of attorney.
Moscow beneficiaries promise to give out "disturbing bracelets" free of charge, at the expense of the budget. The rest of those who wish can connect to the system on a paid basis. By the way, this service is in great demand among the population, so some commercial structures offer their own alarm notification systems.
Commercial alarm systems
By itself, the "button" does not solve any problems - for the reliable operation of the service, you need a round-the-clock operator who will receive and process the incoming signal. It is the efficiency and competence of the attendants that determines the quality of each specific service that provides citizens with the services of an "alarm button", "emergency call", etc.
Among the largest organizations now working in this direction, one can name the 24-hour help center
"Button of Life". Among its advantages, one can name a relatively low monthly subscription fee and service not only in Moscow, but also in the regions.
Panic button services are also provided by some security organizations that maintain electronic home security systems.
Diy panic button
The simplest and most affordable option for many people is to buy and independently configure an individual alarm for your elderly relative or ward. In this case, the alarm signal is sent to the phone numbers you specified, and instead of a monthly fee for the service, you pay only for the selected tariff of the mobile operator.
In addition to saving, the convenience of this option is that you purchase a device that best suits your situation.
For example, an elderly person takes long walks, goes to the dacha, which means we choose a bracelet with a GPS tracker for him, which will always show the current location of the owner if something happens.
And if the health condition does not allow your ward to go out and he is uncertain about moving around the house, a device with a fall sensor will be the most useful.
The simplest and most understandable option is to buy a simple mobile phone for the elderly ("babushkophone"), which already has a separate large SOS button, a long press on which launches a call to several numbers you have specified. 
In principle, it is not technically difficult to organize a round-the-clock monitoring a lying patient at home,
monitoring the pulse, pressure, temperature and other indicators and sending this data to some remote device. You, of course, will see all the changes in the condition of the ward, but without special skills and equipment, you will hardly be able to help him in time. Therefore, it is better to entrust the observation of such people to professionals by concluding an appropriate agreement with a medical institution.
Mobile applications
Finally, an ordinary smartphone with a corresponding application installed can serve as an alternative to special devices. For example, the official application from the Russian Emergencies Ministry "Mobile Rescuer". When you press the SOS button, the program automatically determines the location of the person and selects the number of the nearest rescue service from the base, and your loved ones receive a notification that you are in trouble. You can download it.
There is an application from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia that locates a person and connects him to the nearest police station. If the GPS function in the mobile is disabled or the local ATS does not answer, the call is forwarded to a single number 112. You can send an appeal to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as a photo or video from the scene. Download.
Other programs can be found in the article.
What is a GPS tracker for an elderly person and how does it work?
The principle of operation of this device is quite simple. The device receives data on its location through communication with satellites, so the range is not limited. And with the help of a SIM card inserted into it, it transfers data to relatives. Data transmission can take place through two communication channels.
- The first communication channel is SMS mode. If there is a need to track where the elderly person is at the moment, it is enough to send a short message to the SIM card inserted into the tracker. The tracker, in a return message, will send the exact GEO data and a link to a Google map with a point mark where the object is located. This is the so-called beacon mode. This mode is very economical in terms of power consumption. You can work in this mode using a regular phone. No need to use a smartphone. You only need to pay for outgoing SMS from the tracker.
- The second mode of operation is the ability to connect the GPS tracker to the online monitoring system. Relatives will be able to track the elderly person using a handy smartphone or tablet app. It is also possible to use a computer. And all this can be done on all devices at the same time. This mode is characterized by high power consumption and you will need to pay for Internet traffic using a SIM card inserted into the tracker. In any case, you always have the opportunity to choose a convenient way to operate the tracker. All tracker settings are carried out remotely using SMS commands.
What to look for when choosing a GPS beacon for seniors?
These devices, basically, differ in form factor. It is also worth paying attention to the battery life of the device. This is primarily, it depends on the capacity of the battery, but also not an unimportant moment the components from which it is made. More expensive GPS chips use less power and are much faster and more accurate.
An important factor in choosing a device is additional functions. These include a fall sensor or an accelerometer, which, in the event of a sharp change in the position of the tracker, will notify you with an emergency SMS. The moisture-proof housing will serve as good protection in severe weather conditions. With the help of the GEO of the fence, you can set the territory, upon leaving which the tracker will notify you.
The main thing to remember.
When the battery charge reaches 20% response, the device will inform loved ones about this informative SMS. The device does not have a negative effect on human health, which cannot be said about a mobile phone. The variety of devices presented in our online store allows you to choose a model taking into account the age characteristics of a person, from a pensioner to an old man.

Last week, the Russian project Nimb launched crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, in five days managed to raise an amount three times more than required. Nimb is a high-tech ring with a built-in panic button that informs family, friends and rescue services that a person is in danger by sending a distress signal with coordinates.
Recently, there are more and more personal security devices, and the gadgets themselves help to protect themselves or attract the attention of others in a variety of situations. Some of them are needed to defend against an attack, others are designed to help in critical situations that arise at home, in nature or on the road, and still others are designed specifically to help children and the elderly.
Individual signaling devices
Some of the most common personal safety devices are individual alarms, which emit a loud sound that should scare off an attacker and attract the attention of passers-by. The simplest example of an individual signaling device is a whistle, but now more and more unusual devices that run on batteries are more common. Often such devices are disguised as key rings so that the attacker does not understand what exactly is in your hands. In addition, often signaling devices not only emit loud sounds, but also glow - so on a dark street they can also be used as a pocket flashlight.
There are other signaling devices - for example, the Siren ring disguised as a piece of jewelry. In order to activate it, you need to turn the upper part of the ring counterclockwise: after one and a half seconds, the ring will begin to emit a piercing sound - at this time, according to the creators of the device, you need to direct the ring in the face of the attacker so that the sound is louder, and the criminal is scared and runs away ...
Coasters that detect drugs in a drink
One of the biggest problems that personal safety devices struggle with is rape. Very often, developers are looking for a way to prevent date rape - the so-called date rape, when an acquaintance becomes the rapist or the rape occurs after a date or a party. This often happens because the victim is drugged into the drink. The American company Drink Safe Technologies sells drink holders and test strips that determine if there are any admixed substances in the drink. Two years ago, there was a lot of talk about a special one designed for the same purpose: it is assumed that a girl puts her finger in a glass of drink, and if there is a drug in it, the varnish changes color. True, the project remained a project: its page Facebook hasn't been updated for over half a year.
Such devices have a serious drawback: none of them is able to determine all the substances that can theoretically be mixed into the victim's drink, simply because there are too many of them - the products of Drink Safe Technologies, for example, detect only two of the most common substances. In addition, test strips are usually used outside laboratory conditions, so perfectly accurate results cannot be obtained. Which, however, does not mean that the test strips are not useful and that the technology will not get better over time.
Door stop with sound signal
Tracking devices are often created specifically for women - they are disguised as bracelets and other jewelry so that the attacker does not guess that the woman is holding a device with a panic button. In addition, there are quite a few applications that allow you to notify your loved ones or the police that you are in danger. However, it should be borne in mind that a smartphone is usually one of the most valuable things that we carry with us, so it is highly likely that the criminal will want to take it away in the first place.
Emergency call system
For elderly people who live separately from relatives, there is a separate category of devices - emergency medical call systems. An elderly person receives a small device with a panic button, which he must press if he becomes ill. The system connects a person with an operator who listens to the problem and decides how best to act: call an ambulance, call relatives or ask neighbors for help. Elderly people are offered to install devices with a panic button in different cities of Russia. This is often done by non-profit organizations.
The function of notifying multiple contacts when the panic button is pressed is built into some telephones designed for the elderly.
Universal protection device
In addition to devices that solve specific and fairly narrow problems, developers are also engaged in devices that can solve several problems at the same time. About a year ago, for example, a successful fundraising campaign was completed for the creation of AllBe1 - a device that has a motion sensor, a panic button and several sensors that measure various parameters, including temperature, lighting level and ultraviolet radiation. The device can be used as a fitness tracker, and you can use it to track the location of children and pets, send data about where you are by pressing the alarm button, or, for example, receive notifications that someone has sneaked into your House. In addition, you can program the device yourself and add new functions to it.
