iStaySafe Personal Safety device

Metwide distributes a lightweight device that can be worn just like an everyday watch. As a wrist-worn device, the look and feel of the strap was designed to ensure that it is soft whilst remaining durable and easy to clean.

The iStaySafe Personal Safety Solutions offer the benefit of being able to be customised to suit individual needs via the web interface. The bespoke device is so much more than a watch that tells the time or that it only works indoors. From the device, you can make and receive calls, and have multiple emergency contacts with messaging capability.

Features of an iStaySafe personal safety device include:

SOS Alert

The SOS button is easily located on the left lower side of the watch. In the case of an emergency needing to be triggered, the wearer presses and holds the button for 3 seconds, and the nominated Alert Contact will receive the SOS alert via email and/or an SMS.

Location Assist

iStaySafe Personal Safety Solutions are designed to assist in locating the wearer in the case of an emergency. When an alert is triggered, the device uses several location parameters and an algorithm to configure a location available to view on the web interface.

Multi Geo Fences

Via the web interface, multiple geo-fences set by dates, days, and times can be utilised in providing a safe level of independence to the wearer. The geo-fence works using GPS satellite, so the wearer will need to be in an outside location to enable this feature to operate successfully.

24/7 Monitoring

We have several options available for 24/7 connectivity to a call-monitoring service. Our partners are experts in their field, and we will connect you to the most appropriate centre depending on your needs as a lone worker or when you are requiring medically trained personnel.

WiFi

iStaySafe personal safety device uses SSID to find a MAC address when you are in an indoor location. This will work where Google has provided this information. If your home address isn't available through Google, we can assist to ensure your home location is always available, just contact us to find out more.

Water Resistant

The device is water resistant, with a rating of IPX4, so it's okay for washing hands but not for bathing. This ensures you can wear it without worrying about damage from water splashes or rain.

SMS Messages

Receive SMS messages from up to six trusted phones and have 3 email contacts. This feature ensures you're always in touch with those who matter most.

Reports

The secure software platform provides detailed reports on notifications, locations, and even a historical playback. These can assist in determining behavioural patterns for wearers with dementia or with intellectual disabilities.
