9. 2. Attract Attention
10.  
11. Personal alarms produce a loud, alarming sound upon being activated. This serves two functions: deterring attackers while drawing nearby individuals' attention away from them so the victim may escape or seek assistance more easily. Personal safety alarms have many advantages that make them especially appealing for people working alone or unfamiliar environments.
12.  
13. Connected personal alarms are capable of connecting with mobile applications or emergency services for instantaneous communication and quicker responses during dangerous situations, providing instantaneous assistance when needed and expediting response times in dangerous circumstances. This feature makes the global connected personal alarm market even stronger.
14.  
15. Security concerns have the power to hinder market expansion, as users worry that their personal information could be used inappropriately by unintended third-parties due to GPS and tracking technologies being integrated into personal alarms. To address this concern, clear and transparent data handling policies as well as robust encryption must be put in place; furthermore, devices must be easily used anywhere with ease and readily used when necessary.
16. 3. Fall Detection
17.  
18. Fall detection systems such as Familyr's medical alarm are especially beneficial to those living alone who are susceptible to falls, as it allows them to continue with their day without depending on someone else to assist them when they fall. Familyr's fall detector detects sudden changes in movement or impact caused by falling individuals even if they cannot press their SOS button themselves.
19.  
20. Personal alarms can also be beneficial to those living with disabilities who face health challenges that make them susceptible. Many devices designed as pendants that can be worn around the neck or wrist offer easy access to a panic button or emergency call function for assistance, with additional features like Man Down alarms that activate when someone presses an emergency button - such as sending text messages with GPS location information to nominated contacts and even being configured to activate after certain number of minutes of no motion.
21. 4. Location Tracking
22.  
23. Lone workers can quickly activate their device when in danger or need of assistance by pressing the SOS Panic button on their device, notifying their designated emergency contacts so they can dispatch assistance immediately.
24.  
25. Preventative safety tools like this one provide peace of mind for employees who travel alone at night or engage in solo outdoor adventures; friends or family can monitor an employee's location in real-time so as to monitor and keep them safe. This feature can also come in handy for people who regularly walk alone at night, travel to unfamiliar places alone or go on solo outdoor expeditions.
26.  
27. Mercari Technologies' cutting-edge personal alarm features GPS tracking/locating capability and can work either inside or outside of the home. However, before relying on it regularly it is advisable to conduct tests on both device and network coverage in their area of intended use.
28.  
29. The device's ability to triangulate between GPRS, WiFi and GSM networks depends on having adequate 4G network coverage. Otherwise, its GPS position won't update when in 'power save mode' unless manually activated via SOS button activation or through text requests from contact parties via help texting.
30. 5. Easy to Program
31.  
32. Our 4G Lone Worker Safety Alarm Device utilizes cutting-edge cellular network technology, giving employees confidence in operating in challenging environments.

34. This device is easy to set up using any mobile phone with step-by-step electronic instructions, making text messaging commands from any phone compatible with it simple and quick. Users can set their alarm to contact up to 10 nominated contacts - including calling 911 in case of emergencies.
35.  
36. Personal alarms with GPS tracking and SOS buttons can play an invaluable role in combatting human trafficking by providing victims with immediate support, thus limiting their escape or reintegration into criminal networks. However, privacy issues must be addressed through user education and open data handling policies; otherwise fears of being watched could impede market expansion and reduce consumer trust in these devices.
