Analyst Summary: LifeFone | At-Home & On-the-Go GPS, Voice-In-Pendant
This is a go anywhere mobile alert with fall detection. It is one of the products we reviewed in our comparative evaluation of mobile medical alerts.
This is a rebranded version of the Belle+ made by wholesaler Freeus. It has a couple of noteworthy features, in addition to those typical for products in this class.
- it includes both GPS location technology and WiFi location technology, which might make it more accurate in knowing where you are at all times (we have not tested this);
- it claims a battery life of 5 days, which is very good for this class of products (also see below).
Really Important Battery Detail:
This product has a version without fall detection with a claimed battery life of 30 days.
[The version with fall detection has a claimed battery life of 5 days.]
We have not evaluated this, but it sounds excellent, so long as you don't need fall detection capability.
