Pearl Fall Detection Pendant

Wearable Personal Alarm Device

Using advanced fall-detection technology, the Pearl Fall Detection Pendant may detect a fall, trip or faint, preventing users who have fallen and are potentially injured from being left lying on the floor without assistance. Alternatively, users can press the large emergency button to get help.

Either way, help is initially provided by our 24/7 Monitoring Centre Care Team when needed.

The Pearl Fall Detection Pendant requires a base unit to operate.

24/7 Help

If you fall, or when you press the button, you are connected to our highly trained Care Team. They will talk and listen, then take action to make sure you get assistance as quickly as possible. Our Care Team has first-aid training and are available 24 hours a day, so you are never left waiting or unheard.

The APERS Pearl Fall Detection Pendant is a specialised personal help alarm that includes automatic fall detection for hard falls. The Pearl Fall Detection Pendant achieves this through a set of comprehensive algorithms.

When a hard fall is detected, this medical alarm pendant looks for significant movement. If large amounts of movement are detected, the alarm is automatically cancelled. If activated, the Pearl Fall Detection Pendant sounds a warning beep, signifying the alarm is being sent to the Base Unit. Alternatively, users can press the large emergency button on the pendant to get help.

This personal response system has four different settings that can be tailored to end-user requirements, including settings for people with epilepsy, cognitive disabilities, and high-risk frail users.

As the device is small and lightweight (< 12 grams), wearing the Pearl Fall Detection Pendant is unobtrusive and discrete. The Pearl Fall Detection Pendant requires a base unit to operate.

Falls are one of the most common causes of injury among older adults and people with limited mobility. Even a seemingly minor fall can lead to fractures, head injuries, or long-term mobility issues. In many cases, people who fall and are unable to reach help quickly may experience serious complications such as dehydration or pressure injuries from lying on the floor for extended periods. Early detection and rapid response after a fall can significantly reduce these risks, improving recovery outcomes and supporting independence and quality of life.

Fall Detection

Sometimes a fall can leave you unable to reach for help. With fall detection, your pendant can automatically alert our Care Team, making sure that assistance is on the way when you need it most.

FAQ's

Below are some frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, please contact us. Our friendly team are here to assist.

The pendant uses built-in sensors to detect sudden changes in movement and orientation. If a hard fall is detected, it automatically triggers an alert unless movement resumes.

The Pearl Fall Detection Pendant is designed to detect most heavy or sudden falls using advanced motion and impact sensors. While the technology is highly reliable, no fall detection system can guarantee 100% accuracy. The slow slides, gradual collapses, or falls that occur while sitting or leaning may not always trigger the automatic alert. For this reason, it’s important to press the emergency button whenever possible if you need help, even if the pendant doesn’t automatically activate.

Yes. The device is waterproof and designed for continuous wear, including while bathing or showering.

The Pearl Fall Detection Pendant battery typically lasts up to 2 years, depending on use and testing frequency.

No. The pendant is a sealed unit to maintain its waterproof integrity. When the battery reaches the end of its life, the entire unit should be replaced.

You’ll hear a warning beep before the alarm is sent. Simply shake the pendant to cancel the alert if you don’t need assistance.

The pendant has an open-air range of up to 300 metres from the base unit, allowing coverage throughout most homes and gardens.

To clean your Pearl Fall Detection Pendant, wash it in lukewarm water with a small amount of mild soap or detergent, gently use a soft brush to remove any buildup, then rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
