Loss of sensation, muscle weakness, and impaired balance from neuropathy can increase the likelihood of falls, often making it difficult to react quickly. If pressing a help button isn’t an option, 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 measure 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.

For individuals living with neuropathy, knowing that help will arrive automatically in an emergency provides peace of mind and security, even in moments of reduced mobility or numbness.

When neuropathy affects mobility and sensation, falls and medical emergencies can be even more distressing. While all medical alert services respond to emergencies, LifeStation goes a step further by providing 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, offering calm and compassionate guidance to reduce stress and uncertainty.

Whether your loved one is experiencing a fall, sudden numbness, or difficulty moving, they’ll never have to navigate the situation alone. With LifeStation, individuals managing neuropathy and their families can feel secure knowing that help is on the way and that a reassuring voice is there to offer comfort and support.
