Mindme Wrist Alarm is a small personal alarm worn on the wrist.

The Mindme Wrist Alarm is a small personal alarm worn on the wrist rather than around the neck or kept in a pocket. The wrist alarm tells the time, tells you the date, tells you how many steps you have made today and tells you the battery state. The wrist alarm also has a panic button.

The device incorporates GPS and uses the mobile phone network to send location information to Mindme's platform. Mindme uses a multi-network SIM to ensure that so long as a mobile network exists the device will always stay connected. The wrist alarm will update its location around every 5 minutes.

When you activate the alarm an operator in Mindme’s Response Centre will answer the call. Your details and your location will appear on their monitor and you can talk to them. The operators are highly trained and experienced in answering calls for help from people who have had an accident, feel unwell or otherwise need help.

Mindme’s Response Centre is operated by PPP Taking Care. You choose what personal information you give the Response Centre together with next of kin and contact details which may be needed in an emergency. You can change your personal details at any time.

Charging the Mindme wrist alarm is very easy. Instead of a dock you use a magnetic bar which ‘locks’ against the back of the wrist alarm. It only takes about an hour to fully charge the battery.
