SOLUTION/ FUNCTIONS
Nine types of alarms, emergency process and precise location.
RS Personal Alarm consolidates all types of alarms of a standard-compliant personal emergency signaling system into a single app: from intentional alarm activation at the push of a button to automatic detection of falls, inactivity, or immobility. Each function can be individually configured per user group.

EMERGENCY PROCESS
From alarm to help in four steps
01
Alarm triggering
Depending on the situation, manually or automatically.
02
Processing in the receiving unit
The system automatically initiates the predefined reporting chain.
03
Activation of the reporting chain
All internal or external first responders are notified via app, call, SMS, or email.
04
Notification of first responders
With all relevant information about the incident, affected person, and location.
Easy Onboarding
No account, no registration, and no additional login is required. Just scan the QR code, download the app, and be secured immediately.
Through the receiving unit, you can create QR codes for different groups. With just one scan, individuals are automatically assigned to the correct group – including the designated reporting chains and safety concepts.
RS Personal Alarm can be used completely anonymously. Movement data is only temporarily collected, processed securely, and automatically deleted after the app is closed.
LOCATION
Precise location – indoor and outdoor
GPS
OUTDOOR
Available on almost all smartphones and emergency devices with GPS reception.
Bluetooth Beacons
INDOOR
Own or RS Personal Alarm provided beacons with particularly long battery life.
WLAN
INDOOR
Uses an existing network of multiple WLAN access points – without additional hardware.
Geofencing
INDOOR/OUTDOOR
Virtual boundaries around defined areas; automatically triggers actions when entering or leaving.
Completely anonymous use
No account, no registration, no login required. Simply scan the QR code, install the app, and be protected immediately. QR codes can be generated for different groups – with one scan, users are automatically assigned to the correct group including predefined reporting chains and safety protocols.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About functions and technology
What is the difference between a dead man's switch and a manual alarm?
A dead man's switch (time alarm) automatically triggers when a person does not respond within a specified time period – it is independent of will. A manual alarm is consciously triggered by pressing a button and is therefore dependent on will.
Does the location work without GPS reception, for example in buildings?
Yes. RS Personal Alarm combines GPS with Bluetooth beacons and Wi-Fi location, so precise positioning is possible even indoors without satellite reception.
How are false alarms avoided?
An acoustic and visual pre-alarm informs the affected person before an alarm is actually triggered and allows for cancellation of the triggering.
