How It Works?

INS LifeGuard personal alarms and nurse call systems allow seniors to live more independent and active lives, knowing that aid is available at the touch of a button, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Step 1

Press the Button to Trigger an Alarm

In the event of an emergency, press the button on your personal alarm system. We can also supply a Fall Sensor that automatically triggers an alarm when a fall is detected.

Step 2

Communicate with our INS Nurse

An alarm is sent to a nurse in our emergency response centre, who has access to your personal details and medical history. The nurse will call out to you over a two-way speaker on your emergency unit. You need not be near the unit to be heard.

Step 3

Assistance Arranged

The nurse will assess the situation and send whatever help is required – whether that be your emergency contacts (family member, neighbour, or friend), or emergency services.

Step 4

Dispatched Help if Necessary

If the nurse is unable to make voice contact, an ambulance will be dispatched to your location. No matter what the situation, rest assured help is on the way.

LifeGuard SmartTracker

With the simple press of a button in this compact alarm, you’re in contact with an experienced nurse. The nurse can speak with you via speakerphone and assess the situation. The built-in GPS locator ensures we’ll be able to pinpoint your location in an emergency and send help — even if you are not able to respond. It is a stylish pendant that works using the same cellular phone technology as a mobile phone, but without the complicated features. It also functions as a fall detector, and has a docking station for easy charging.

If you prefer, you can choose self-monitoring to let your family, friends or carer monitor the LifeGuard SmartTracker instead of our nurses.

Read our Frequently Asked Questions about personal and medical alarms

The INS LifeGuard mobile alarms allow you to live your life knowing help is just a press of a button away.

How does a mobile personal or medical alarm work?
Here’s how INS LifeGuard’s mobile personal and medical alarms work:
1. In the event of an emergency, press the button on your mobile alarm or transmitter. Or if you're wearing our alarm with fall detection, an alert will automatically be sent after detecting a sudden fall.
2. An alarm is sent to a nurse in our emergency response centre, who has access to your personal details and medical history. The nurse will call out to you over a two-way speaker on your emergency unit. * You need not be near the unit to be heard.
3. The nurse will assess the situation and send whatever help is required – whether that be contacting a family member, neighbour, friend, or emergency services.
4. If the nurse is unable to make voice contact, an ambulance will be dispatched to your location. No matter what the situation, rest assured help is on the way.
* Network coverage and voice quality are dependent on local environmental conditions and are not within the control of INS LifeGuard. Rest assured, even if we cannot speak to you over the alarm system, we have received the alarm and will send help.
What's the best personal mobile alarm for the elderly?

The best personal mobile alarm for the elderly is the one that addresses their specific needs. INS LifeGuard's mobile personal and medical alarms are designed for seniors who want to live independently. The emergency help button, built-in GPS locator, fall detection, geofence alarms, 2-way voice, medication reminders, and telehealth services are just some of the many features that make it the perfect solution for those who want to remain independant.
What's the best personal mobile alarm for children?

When it comes to the safety of our kids, there is no such thing as being too careful. That's why INS LifeGuard's mobile alarms were designed to give parents and carers peace of mind, whether their children are home alone or out and about. The emergency help button can be used to summon help in an emergency, while the built-in GPS locator ensures that they can always be found in an incident. The geofence alarms can also be used to set up areas where your child is not allowed to go, and you will be notified if they leave these boundaries.
Is a personal mobile alarm a good idea?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as it entirely depends on an individual’s needs and circumstances. However, personal alarms can be an excellent way to increase safety and security, particularly for those who live alone or have medical conditions that could leave them vulnerable in an emergency. If you are considering a personal mobile alarm, be sure to choose products from a reputable provider such as INS LifeGuard.
What is geo-fencing and how does it protect wanderers?

Geofencing is a feature of some personal alarms that allows you to set up virtual boundaries. If the wearer of the alarm crosses these boundaries, you will be notified immediately. This can be an extremely useful tool for protecting loved ones who wander, as it gives you the ability to track their movements and ensure that they stay safe. The INS LifeGuardian® app comes with geofencing capabilities built-in, making it a great safety solution for people with dementia or Alzheimer's.
How to buy the best personal mobile alarm?

To buy the best personal mobile alarm, you need to consider your specific needs and circumstances. Do you live alone? Do you have any medical conditions? Are you worried about wandering? Once you have a good understanding of your needs, you can start looking at your available options and compare their features. If you’re considering getting a personal or medical alarm from INS LifeGuard, get in touch with us and we will be happy to advise you on the most suitable care alarm for your needs and circumstances.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for the consistent high-quality service you have provided to The Willows Residents during 2023. Your team responds with efficiency and kindness at all times and we value the attention and care given through all the calls we have made to you. THANK YOU!!!

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your time and patience on the phone today Nicole. As a virgin INS user, I emailed you. You called me right away and were so patient and took the time to learn a little of what our village required from this system. You then patiently explained the functions of the portal, paying attention to the functions which [our village] would find helpful.

I just wish to say thank you to the INS staff member who assisted us, Alison. She was very calm and caring and made the effort to check in on the situation over the several hours the call was active. She helped alleviate some of my distress, and I hope that you can note this on her file or at least pass on my thanks to her once more.

— Retirement Village

I recently spoke with our resident, and she couldn’t praise you enough for the amazing care, compassion, and professionalism you provided her.
