How does the Solo Watch work?
24/7 Monitoring Service
The Solo Watch is connected to the MePACS 24/7 response centre, which means every call will be answered within 2 minutes, day or night, by a monitor trained in emergency response.
To raise an alert, simply tap the icon on the watch face. One of our monitors will talk to you via the watch, assess your emergency and swiftly organise the appropriate help.
Unlike non-monitored “auto-dial” personal alarms, at MePACS we are able to share relevant information with emergency services, who can then prioritise your call appropriately and get to you quickly.
Knowing that you have a team of trained professionals always ready to respond in an emergency can be incredibly reassuring. It means that no matter where you are, you can feel confident that help is always just a screen tap away.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Solo connect uses smart sensors to identify a sudden fall or drop in height, and automatically send an alert to the MePACS emergency response centre.
While the sensors are designed to detect sudden changes in altitude, speed or orientation, they may not detect a fall if it was a gradual slump or roll into the floor, or if the fall was braced by an object, such as a chair.
That’s why we recommend that if you’ve experienced a fall tap the alert icon to manually send an alert.
Yes, anyone who you allow access to the watch will be able to tap the on the icon to raise an emergency alert.
The Solo Connect watch has a waterproof rating of IP68 and has been certified to 5ATM standards. This means that it is water resistant up to 50 metres deep for a maximum of 10 minutes.
The Solo Connect watch has a battery life of between 10-12 hours depending on usage and mobile phone reception. How many times you use the watch will affect your battery life and if you live in a low mobile phone reception area this will reduce the life of the battery as it’s working harder to find a signal.
It takes around 3 hours to charge the watch from flat to full.
The Solo Connect will continue to function as a watch, and you’ll be able to access the apps. However, in areas with low or no mobile reception you will not be able to raise an alert for help.
If you live further than 1km from a Telatrs mobile tower we highly recommend that you add a MePACS Home alarm system to ensure your safety at home.
We recommend couple get a home alarm with a pendant each, and a shared Solo Connect watch that they can use when outside the home.
You can purchase two watches, however, this comes with two monthly monitoring fees.
The Solo Connect watch has been specifically designed for seniors and people living with disability to keep it simple and easy to use, with just the features they will most benefit from.
The Apple watch is packed full of features that may be a bit overwhelming for someone not familiar with the latest tech or smart devices. The SOS alert on an Apple watch only sends a text message to pre-programmed family or friend when an alert is raised, who could be busy at that time and unable to respond or act.
With the MePACS Solo, alerts raised go directly to trained operators who are guaranteed to respond at any time of the day or night. This gives you the ultimate peace of mind that help is always on hand when you need it.
We assess the situation and can see your medical history: this is information that we can then pass to Triple Zero to enable them to prioritise your call – which makes all the difference during an emergency situation.
