Choosing a Freedom Medical Alarm means you’re directly connected to highly trained emergency call takers at the push of a button. If you or someone you care about is living at home with a medical condition, a Freedom Medical Alarm provides reassurance that help and support is immediately accessible, even if the phone is out of reach. Now that’s peace of mind!
Be well connected with a Freedom Medical Alarm - the only medical alarm directly connected to the Central Emergency Ambulance Communication Centre.
By having a direct connection to the ambulance service, a response to a Freedom Medical Alarm removes the need to transfer important client information such as the client's address details, medical history, access information, and client status at the time of the incident.
With Freedom Medical Alarms, help is just a touch of a button away. In the event of an alarm activation we make sure everything is taken care of, both at the time and afterwards. We then notify all relevant parties such as your family and/or health care provider.
Freedom Medical Alarms is a jointly owned business between HealthcareNZ Limited (HealthCare NZ) and Wellington Free Ambulance. Established over 25 years ago, Health Care NZ is proud to work alongside over 20,000 New Zealanders to help them achieve greater independence and a better quality of life.
Freedom Medical Alarms are available as both a wrist band, or a pendant that can be worn around the neck. A base unit plugs directly into a standard telephone line, or connects to the mobile cellular network to transmit data including the alarm number and activation codes.
The equipment can over-ride a single engaged phone line and is smart enough to know when multiple activations occur in a short period. For safety, the alarm unit will only transmit one alert so the phone line is free to take an inbound call from the ambulance communications staff.
