Some manufacturers would have you believe that "The Sky is Falling In"

With the onset of the NBN and the realisation that personal response systems will no longer work reliably, many companies are promoting the mass replacement of functional medical monitoring equipment and seem to think that money is no object. Experience has taught us that senior citizens do not like to change their equipment easily - especially when it is has worked perfectly well over a long period of time !

It's not simply about cost. Seniors that have become familiar with their pendants and sensors will strongly resist change. If you think about the education & re-training of everyone involved in the "chain" of telecare monitoring from the technician through to the care provider and their patient - it would be a massive undertaking.

Telecare and the NBN

Replacing a fully functional telecare system because a single part of the equipment needs an upgrade to make it compatible with the NBN is overkill !

Millions of Australians make phone calls over the Internet without issues every day and have been doing so for years. A medical alert call to a monitoring centre is not much different.

Sure, there are important settings that must be taken into consideration when designing the network but Customers of IP Alarms transmit thousands of security and medical alarm signals daily without issues and we have the experience to guide the Australian Telecare industry through the same set of challenges.

A Simple IP Conversion Device is all that is Required

IP Alarms offer a medical alert monitoring upgrade solution using high specification hardware that operates over IP, GSM or a combination of both (DualPath). You can rest assured that our custom designed hardware is by far the most robust on the market. The fact that it will cost you a fraction of what others will charge to replace your equipment, is just icing on the cake.
