An innovative new smart band has been developed, which is designed to send out an alert if the wearer loses consciousness.

The band which has been produced by Acticheck continuously monitors the wearer’s health by tracking movement and vital signs, including their pulse and body temperature.

The Assure smart band is different to former personal alarms as it doesn’t require the wearer to press a button (which is impossible if the wearer is unconscious).

Karl Gibbs, founder and general manager of Acticheck, said: “Assure offers independence to those who live, work or play solo, or who are not as self-sufficient as they once used to be. It is ideal for those with specific medical needs as well as lone workers and solo sportspeople desiring an extra level of personal security.

“Assure negates the need for bulky, unattractive pendant alarms and gives wearers the confidence to celebrate their independence both inside and outside of their home. In Assure we have found a stylish way to keep wearers secure, they will know that wherever they are, they can allow their support network to keep a track on their movements and wellbeing.”

The band works through a telephone bases while used in the home and garden and if used away from the home it can connect to a smartphone. It is also shock and water-resistant.

The smart band will be on sale from Spring 2015.
