Umps offers a range of personal emergency alert systems designed to enable individuals, particularly older adults, to summon assistance while living independently.
Umps' primary home-based system consists of a wearable pendant or wristband button that communicates with a central hub unit. The connection of this system happens over a cellular network to a 24/7 monitoring center.
In addition to the home-based personal emergency alert system, Umps also boasts a newer mobile version that can function outside of the home. This device incorporates fall detection technology and features two-way communication.
The company emphasizes a simple setup process for its personal emergency alert systems, with no long-term contracts. The technology also allows for professional monitoring or alerts to be sent directly to family members. For the senior user, the device serves as a constant safety net, reducing the anxiety associated with everyday activities both inside and outside the home.
