A key element in this is emergency detection. And emergency detection primarily means detecting motionlessness\u2014because serious emergencies almost always result in a lack of movement.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we focus intensively and deliberately on developing our No Motion detection system, as we call our motionlessness detection at ANGEL React, and we continuously improve it.<\/p>\n<p>Only a well-designed motionlessness detection system can save lives or prevent serious harm in an emergency. And it\u2019s especially the motionlessness alert that determines whether a device is actually used in everyday life. If the alert keeps going off during quiet tasks\u2014like working at a computer\u2014we\u2019re unlikely to keep using the emergency detection system for long, simply because it becomes annoying.<\/p>\n<p>With our ANGEL React systems, we don\u2019t just want them to be purchased\u2014we want them to be used. And we want them to improve workplace safety. That\u2019s why, in developing our No Motion feature, we\u2019ve focused particularly on the following three aspects:<\/p>\n<h3>1) Distinguishing between motionlessness and quiet work<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, we want to avoid constant interruptions from motionlessness alerts during everyday tasks\u2014even if those tasks are calm, like writing emails at a desk. That\u2019s why our system uses a highly sensitive accelerometer that detects even the smallest movements typical of desk work. Each detected movement resets a countdown timer to its maximum value. An alert is only triggered if no movement is detected over an extended period.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent false alarms, the system begins with a subtle pre-alert. If someone is simply working quietly, they can dismiss the alert with a clear movement\u2014nothing else happens.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also crucial that the system reliably detects the absence of human movement. It must not be misled by external factors like a vibrating phone or other environmental motions.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Breathing or not: recognizing the severity of an incident<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a big difference between someone who is unconscious due to, say, a head injury, and someone who has stopped breathing. In the latter case, help cannot arrive quickly enough.<\/p>\n<p>A reliable emergency detection system must ensure that in the event of cardiac arrest, the (pre-)alert is triggered as quickly as possible. That\u2019s why our No Motion system uses two timers with different movement thresholds.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A\u00a0short timer\u00a0reacts to extremely minimal movements in the single-digit milli-g range\u2014just thousandths of Earth\u2019s gravity. A person in cardiac arrest won\u2019t exceed this threshold because they\u2019re no longer breathing. This triggers the pre-alert very quickly.<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0second timer\u00a0detects emergencies without respiratory arrest. It responds to larger movement thresholds and is set to a longer duration to avoid triggering during quiet activities like desk work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3) Detecting motionlessness while sitting<\/h3>\n<p>Not every injured person collapses to the ground\u2014emergencies can also occur while sitting. That\u2019s why motionlessness detection must never rely solely on tilt angle detection.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, lying on the ground doesn\u2019t always indicate an emergency. Sometimes, someone just wants to work quietly under their car without having to cancel an emergency alert every few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why a reliable emergency detection system must always include motionlessness detection. Tilt angle detection can be a useful add-on, but it\u2019s rarely a dependable solution on its own.<\/p>\n<h2>The Advantages of ANGEL React<\/h2>\n<p>There are many high-quality emergency detection devices on the market that meet these three criteria well, and all of them aim to save your life in an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>But if you really want to know how good a system is, ask whether you can test it. If a company offering emergency systems doesn\u2019t provide a simple way to try out a device for a few weeks, there\u2019s probably a reason for that.<\/p>\n<p>At ANGEL React, our\u00a0Try@Buy\u00a0system is a given\u2014and it\u2019s widely appreciated. Users are usually quickly and consistently convinced by the system\u2019s precise emergency detection and its suitability for everyday use.<\/p>\n<p>When you choose ANGEL React, you get not only a highly sophisticated No Motion detection system, but also two additional key benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Very simple handling<\/strong>: The Genius device is barely noticeable in daily work, and the app is frequently described as highly intuitive. With every update, we aim to make operation even easier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emergency Coordination Portal<\/strong>: In the event of an emergency alert, all emergency contacts can access this portal online to coordinate the next steps together. If the injured person is able, they can also participate in the communication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So if your life matters to you\u2014even in an emergency\u2014place it in the hands of a professional whose core mission is emergency detection, not smartphone development.<\/p>\n<p>At ANGEL React, we\u2019ve been successfully researching emergency detection for many years. With the Genius device, we\u2019ve developed a companion that stays unobtrusive during your workday\u2014but won\u2019t leave your side in an emergency, helping to protect your life and health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The common belief is that emergencies in everyday (work) life are easy to detect. Even a smartphone can often determine whether a person is moving or motionless\u2014and trigger an alarm if needed. But isn\u2019t the smartphone often just lying somewhere out of reach, making it impossible to detect an emergency?
