Utilizing a Philips Lifeline Auto Alert with Fall Detection as an Epileptic

Image showing a brain with electrical pulses.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes excessive and abnormal brain cell activity resulting in seizures. In the United States, more than 250,000 cases are diagnosed each year and millions of people are living with the disease. Sadly, the disease can be fatal, and can lead to strokes, when an epileptic is left untreated after a major seizure. Therefore, the Philips Lifeline Auto Alert with Fall Detection is a wonderful option for someone living with epilepsy.

The device enables an automatic call for help if a fall is detected, even if you are unable to press the alert button. The call will be received by a fully staffed response center, which will dispatch the help you need when you need it most. To date, the system has detected over 200,000 falls, more than any other medical alert service according to https://www.lifeline.philips.com.

At Caring Companions at Home, we deploy licensed caregivers to assist people of all ages with a variety of in home care needs. We are a pioneer in this industry in Southern California and Texas and pride ourselves on educating those who may not be able to employ a caregiver on alternative options for ensuring their safety.

Epileptics who are struggling should be advised having a caregiver or a medical device like the Philips Lifeline Auto Alert with Fall Detection provides peace of mind, safety and potentially life saving interventions when this horrible disease deems its bearer incapacitated.
