The Vibby is an advanced fall detector which can be worn on the wrist or around the neck. It will automatically raise an alert if it senses the user has fallen, and also enables the wearer to easily call for help manually.
The Vibby can give confidence to anyone who is at risk of falling, such as people with limited mobility, older people and people with long-term conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.
How does it work?
Using an innovative algorithm and a new pressure sensor, the Vibby is designed to automatically detect a serious fall and raise an alert.
The wearer can also manually raise an alert by pressing the button on the face of the Vibby. Confirmation that an alert has been raised will be given by an LED light and vibration.
Please note: The fall detection technology in the Vibby does not allow analysis and interpretation of all fall situations. Soft falls, slumping falls, descent controlled falls against a wall or a chair, etc…are not detected by the Vibby.
In spite of its algorithm capabilities considering the technologies used and the target to minimise false alarms, all falls even dangerous-heavy falls cannot be detected, this is the reason why the presence of the manual trigger on the Vibby remains vital for the user.
Lightweight and discreet with a range of wearing options and adjustable sensitivity, the iVi intelligent pendant provides constant care, automatically.
What is the iVi intelligent pendant?
The iVi intelligent pendant is a small, lightweight device and like other pendants, the iVi allows the wearer to press a help button to generate an alarm call when they need help from anywhere in their home, 24 hours a day.
The iVi also provides an added layer of protection by automatically generating a call for assistance if a fall is detected and the wearer is unable to push the help button.
