The Chiptech SEVEN base unit has been designed to support people to live independently and safe at home and is customisable to meet the unique needs of different users. However, with its advanced technology and powerful capabilities, the SEVEN base unit offers a comprehensive safety solution for both individuals and organisations in other settings.
The SEVEN base unit is a versatile and customisable device that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of different users. From elderly living independently to people with disabilities or health conditions, the SEVEN base unit can help you stay safe and connected in a variety of situations. In this blog, we will explore how the SEVEN base unit along with associated peripheral devices can be customised to meet the specific needs of different users. With its advanced technology and user-friendly design, the SEVEN base unit offers a range of features and functions to support independent living and enhance quality of life. SEVEN can be utilised in a number of living situations; for users living at home alone, with a live in carer or family member, or within a retirement village setting. The SEVEN base unit isn’t just for individuals – it is also ideal for organisations that need to monitor and support lone workers or provide duress alarms for staff in high-risk situations.
The SEVEN base unit can be customised for monitoring a range of wireless peripheral devices, to provide daily check-ins, and reminders for specific actions, to provide voice notifications and comprehensive emergency response capabilities.
The SEVEN base unit is most commonly installed to provide emergency assistance to elderly and vulnerable individuals in their homes. This installation includes a personal help button that enables users to connect to professional monitoring services when in need of assistance. The range of the personal help button covers a standard home and garden situation and provides reassurance to the user and their family that, if they should need help while alone, they can summon it by a simple button press.
To further enhance safety, third-party peripheral products such as smoke detectors, bed sensors, and Chiptech door contacts or fall detectors may be utilised in conjunction with the SEVEN base unit. These wireless peripheral products are used to manage specific risks and can be combined to support an end user in remaining safe. Typically, these risks include:
SEVEN can be utilised in various village settings, such as retirement villages, independent living facilities, and nursing homes, to provide emergency access to services. These systems can be monitored by staff members via the SmartCare Response App and/or a professional monitoring provider.
Alongside installations into individuals’ residences, and to further enhance safety, wireless help buttons can be included in communal areas of these facilities. Smoke detectors and other environmental sensors can also be added to increase overall safety.
SEVEN features a unique notification system where pre-recorded voice phrases can be triggered to play remotely to inform users of risky situations such as fire or flood, and the actions they will need to take including evacuations. It also has a set of friendly and action request including notifications about caregivers arriving, or that “it is lunch time soon” these can be used to keep residents informed of upcoming events.
The SEVEN base unit can provide valuable support for on-site carers, who may be responsible for the care of multiple individuals. By configuring the SEVEN system to generate unique announcements, carers can easily identify who needs assistance and provide targeted support. Additionally, the SEVEN base unit can be set up to monitor the use of doorways, ensuring that individuals do not wander outside of permitted areas or during certain times. This can be particularly useful for individuals with dementia or other cognitive impairments.
Since this system does not require remote monitoring, no connectivity (SIM card) is necessary, and it does not incur any operational costs. However, if the carer is not on site 24/7 and the device requires remote monitoring, a SIM card can be installed.
The SEVEN base unit is an ideal solution for workplaces such as retail shops, 24/7 gyms, petrol stations, and show homes that have lone workers, employees or members who may be feeling unsafe, or fear being injured with no one around to assist. In such settings, the SEVEN base unit can be customised to provide both medical emergency alerts and discrete access to immediate assistance, ensuring their safety and security. Bogus Caller or Panic Alert buttons can be installed in various locations around the workplace, such as behind counters, in changing rooms, or in storage areas, providing employees with easy access to assistance if they feel threatened or unsafe. These can be programmed to send an alert, without making a loud alarm sound and open a voice connection so monitoring staff can listen (and record the audio) of a situation.
Personal help buttons can also be worn for those at risk of injury or a fall detector can be utilised in workplaces where staff members may work alone and are at risk of falling from standing. The SEVEN base unit with associated peripherals for duress situations can be monitored by a professional provider, such as a security company.
Alongside this the building can be fitted with monitored wireless environmental sensors so fire and gas events when no one is onsite can be alerted and a response actioned.
Whether you are an individual looking for a device to help you live independently and stay connected, or an organisation looking for a way to protect your staff onsite in potential high-risk situations, the Chiptech SEVEN base unit offers a customisable and reliable solution. With its advanced technology, user-friendly design, and powerful capabilities, the SEVEN base unit is the ideal device for anyone who needs to stay safe and connected in any situation.
