For individuals with COPD, sudden shortness of breath, dizziness, or fatigue can increase the likelihood of falls, and in some cases, pressing a help button may not be possible. That’s why our Sidekick mobile medical alert with fall detection ensures that emergency assistance is automatically summoned—even if you’re unable to call for help yourself.

Our advanced system uses three key technologies to detect falls accurately and trigger an emergency response:

• Accelerometers track sudden changes in movement, identifying when a fall has occurred.
• Barometric sensors detect shifts in air pressure, distinguishing between standing and lying down.
• Smart algorithms differentiate real falls from accidental movements, reducing false alarms.

With automatic fall detection, individuals managing COPD can feel reassured knowing that help is always available, even if breathing difficulties or exhaustion prevent them from reacting quickly.

Breathing difficulties can be frightening, especially when they strike unexpectedly. While all medical alert services respond to emergencies, LifeStation goes further by offering continuous reassurance and support until help arrives.

If desired, our trained emergency operators stay on the line from the moment the help button is pressed, providing calm and compassionate guidance to ease stress and anxiety.

Whether your loved one is experiencing severe shortness of breath, dizziness, or a fall, they’ll never have to face it alone. With LifeStation, individuals managing COPD and their families can feel secure knowing that help is on the way and that a reassuring voice is always there to provide comfort and support.
