Frequently Asked Questions

How Does the Home Health Phone Compare to specialty systems like First Alert?

There are special equipment solutions offered to seniors and their families that work on limited frequencies that operate only within a home.   Three of these companies are Lifeline, Life Alert, and Alert 1.   Typically, the service requires the purchase of special in house only equipment and the senior then wears a small personal device with a push button alert.   There is either only one use (alarming) or limited usage with this type of product.  

Proximiti’s Health Phone is totally different.   It can work in and out of the house, supports 911 provided by wireless carriers like traditional phones, and can include phone features that can replace the need for another cellphone or even provide text messaging alerts, or applications.   There are multiple styles of phones that can be used by seniors and the innovation in new phone designs continues to accelerate rapidly.  
What is the experience with check in calls and medication reminders?

This is a simple, inexpensive, but powerful service highly valued by end users, caregivers, and family members.   Proximiti’s platform contacts senior citizens at preset times each day, can ask and track responses to questions, analyze the responses, and inform caregivers and family members of the results.   Medication reminders are often included as part of these messages.   The cost is less than $10 per month and can include telephone calls, text messaging, and email.  

One example:  a grandfather lives alone, is strongly independent, and does very well although he tends to forget to take his medications.   So his family and caregiver set up a medication call reminder program that calls him three times each day reminding him to take his medications.   His compliance is almost 100% now and he is feeling better.   As importantly, his family members can get text messages letting them know the outcome of each call.   So no matter how busy everybody’s day gets, the important tasks for the grandfather are taken care of.  
Explain more the need for myinternetlockbox?

Everyone is aware of the growing burdens placed on families for paperwork needs of hospitals and then the dangers of not having easily obtained data in the event of an emergency.   A major need of seniors is to be very clear about the health care surrogate documentation and also their living wills.   What many families find attractive about myinternetlockbox is that you can include other useful data as well in the various lockers.   Health information, financial forms, and even pictures of their home for insurance needs can be electronically stored.   Access is limited to those with the applicable user IDs and passwords.
