Features of the myHalo System
The myHalo system is designed for seniors and their caregivers. It is much more than just a panic
button worn for emergency situations. With those systems, the user must be conscious and
physically able to push the panic button to summon help. The advanced technology and reliability
built into the myHalo system allows users who are temporarily unable to call for help to still be
protected.
The myHalo system provides:
• Advanced fall detection and alerts without user initiation since the chest strap transmitter
is able to detect most falls and automatically contact the call center
• Monitoring and tracking vital signs such as heart rate and level of activity, plus skin
temperature and sleep/wake patterns
• Cell phone text messages and email alerts to the caregiver(s)
• 24/7 call center monitoring support
• User friendly, easy-to-read, and private web portal interface for the user and/or caregiver
• Comfortable wireless chest strap and transmitter
Equipment Included
• One chest strap and one transmitter (optional second chest strap if purchased)
• Home gateway with wireless interface to the chest strap transmitter
• Power adapter for the home gateway and a power adapter for charging the chest strap
transmitter battery
• Two cables for use during installation of the home gateway
• Quick Start and User Guide
Installation
The user or caregiver can install the myHalo system by the using the Installation Instructions
