紧急求救设备能够定位需要帮助的人员

 
一种新型位置依赖型移动报警远程护理设备，能够有效帮助老年患者、关注安全的患者、慢性病患者和残疾人，在任何时候、任何地方都可以报警求援。

不到100克只有手机那么大，但是配备了很大很清晰可辨的按钮，这种MobilAlarm设备操作简便，使用便捷。 同时按下两个大按钮就能够呼叫服务中心。一个独立按钮能够呼叫预置的电话号码，可以是朋友、亲戚或者邻居，具有扩音功能而无需连接在耳朵上。第四个按钮用于取消正常的呼叫。

当紧急呼叫连接到服务中心，接线员从计算机自动接受呼叫人员档案，如果需要，可以使用全球定位卫星(GPS)追踪获得求救者的位置，精确程度在50米以内。这在求救人员不知道在何处或者无法说话的时候尤其重要。该系统去年在英国、西班牙、德国大约100位老年人中成功的进行了测试，每人使用该设备至少3个月。

Emergency Device Locates People in Distress
 
A new location-independent mobile alarm and tele-care service enables older people, those concerned about safety, the chronically ill, and the disabled to initiate an alarm call whenever and wherever they need to do so.

Weighing less than 100 g and as small as a mobile phone, but with four large and clearly discernible buttons, the MobilAlarm device is easy to handle and above all straightforward to use. Pressing the two large buttons simultaneously initiates a call to the service center. A separate button initiates a call to a pre-programmed telephone number, which could be that of a friend, relative, or neighbor, while enhanced audio features mean the device does not have to be held up to the ear. The fourth button is for canceling a normal phone call.

When an emergency call is placed to a service center, the operator who takes the call automatically receives the user's file on the computer, and, if necessary, can use global positioning satellite (GPS) tracking to obtain information about the location of the person with an accuracy of within 50 meters. This is particularly important when people do not know where they are or are having difficulty speaking. The system was successfully tested last year with around 100 elderly users in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Germany, who were each given the device for at least three months.
