THE ACTICHECK CARE PROMISE

“Whatever happens, wherever it happens,
whenever it happens, help is at hand.”
Unlike other wearable alarms that get taken off and forgotten,
Acticheck stays on your wrist for continuous protection.
INTELLIGENT CONTINUOUS CARE
Triple Protection Built Around Real Daily Life
Most emergencies happen without warning when you least expect them. Read on to see
how Acticheck wraps complete protection around every hour of the day.

Whatever Happens
3 Alert Triggers for Comprehensive Protection
Emergencies take many forms. Acticheck is the only wristband that covers
sudden falls, deliberate calls for help, and can ask for wellbeing confirmations.
SOS — Call for Help
To call for immediate help, simply squeeze the wristband’s side buttons together. Ergonomic, panic-proof, and cannot be triggered by accident.
Unique “I’m OK” Checks
The simple way to confirm your wellbeing morning and evening. At times you choose, the band gently vibrates; a single tap confirms you are fine.
Automatic Fall Alerts
Integrated multi-axis accelerometer monitors continuously for severe falls, calling for help even if the wearer is unconscious.
Along with our unique:
Predictive Analytics — Early-warning insights
Movement readings are quietly compared with your usual activity pattern. A meaningful change — like a disturbed night's sleep or an inactive day — prompts an email update, not a call.
Wherever It Happens
Home, Garden or Wherever Life Takes You
Many accidents occur at home, in the shower, or outside in the garden where people could remain undiscovered for extended periods. Acticheck covers you everywhere.
Ultra-Long Home & Garden Range
The resilient base station coverage reaches up to 200 metres, so you're covered at the end of the garden or in sheds and garages.
Intelligent Alert Cascade
Automatically phones family or friends in the order you want. There is an optional 24/7 Fallback Call Response Service for times when none of your responders can help.
Seamless Smartphone App (iOS & Android)
Taking the dog for a walk? The wristband pairs automatically with your mobile phone when you go out, so live your best life knowing your Acticheck wristband is with you.
○ Boundless freedom
○ 24/7 CONTINUOUS PROTECTION
Whenever It Happens
Uninterrupted Protection — Never Taken Off to Charge
Many personal alarm failures occur because the device is not being worn.
Acticheck eliminated the common reasons devices go unworn, so you have peace of mind all the time.
1 Full Year Battery Life
A single sealed battery lasts 365+ days. On renewal, we send a new easy-to-fit puck, giving you uninterrupted protection.
100% Waterproof
Wear in the shower/bath, because we think it important that you are protected in slippery, wet places!
Comfortable in Bed and During the Day
The wristband is soft, breathable and comfortable to wear all the time.
Socially acceptable, stigma-free
No-one wants to wear something that makes them feel bad about themselves. The Acticheck life-saving wristband looks like a modern sports tracker, and avoids the institutional look of some alarms. It weighs in at 24g (like an AA battery), is 25mm wide and 38mm long, so it is easy to 'fit & forget'.
