On the Go
Mobile Personal Emergency Response System. More than just a GPS Tracker.
The On the Go medical alert system includes an advanced GPS locator so that you can quickly get the help you need in your home or on the go. Automatic fall detection can call for help if a fall is detected and you are unable to press the help button.* No matter where you are you will still have access to 24/7 help should you experience a fall or need medical assistance.1
Manitobans are active, on-the-go people and we enjoy the great outdoors year round! Victoria Lifeline’s On the Go Mobile Service can support your active lifestyle by giving you the freedom to safely do what you love. Living a life of independence shouldn’t be restricted to the home environment, you should feel comfortable going for a walk or even taking a vacation.4
The all-in-one On the Go system will allow you to continue to live life to the fullest. It provides Two-Way Voice Communication directly from the pendant, fall detection that will call for help from anywhere when you can’t2, the ability to call multiple contacts, and around the clock access to Lifeline’s response centre associates.
Once a fall is detected, or you have pressed your Mobile Help Button, a trained Lifeline Response Associate will quickly assess your profile and your situation. Based on your needs at that moment, the Associate will call either a neighbour, family member or emergency service. So, whether you are in the comfort of your own home, picking up the mail, or enjoying dinner out with friends, you will always feel safe and secure.
On The Go is recommended for people who:
- Frequently socialize outside of home
- Are interested in a mobile solution that can support an active lifestyle
- May be concerned about an accidental fall or their safety while outside the home
- Go out 3-4 times a week alone (i.e. volunteering, visiting friends, running errands, exercising)
