The eCall system operates on a secure, industry standard Wi-Fi technology platform, making it a robust, flexible and cost effective emergency call system solution for senior living communities.

Why is the eCall system so beneficial?
The eCall system operates on a secure, industry standard Wi-Fi platform that provides a flexible long term solution. The advantages of using a standard Wi-Fi platform over a traditional single purpose product is that the non-proprietary Wi-Fi platform can support more than just an emergency call system. The Wi-Fi network can support:
Electronic Health Record Management
Billing Data
Communications (staff Telephony)
Remote Monitoring
Vital Sign Monitoring
Internet connectivity for staff, residents and families throughout the facility
With a traditional stand alone emergency call system, senior living communitiies are forced to have individual solutions for each of the many necessary operations. Multiple separate solutions mean multiple network infrastructures, each with their own maintenance and operating costs. A non-proprietary Wi-Fi network solution greatly simplifies this issue. Care providers are able to operate multiple services on one network. Not only does a non-proprietary Wi-Fi solution lower operating costs, it also helps ensure that a senior living community will not become locked into an obsolete proprietary solution.

How It Works
Residents initiate alerts through wireless pendants and pull cords throughout the community. Staff receive calls on portable phones with information about the alert and the resident's location.
