Ask who gets notified

Find out whether alerts go to family, carers, providers or a monitoring partner, and whether multiple contacts can be included.

Ask how the device is checked

Remote device health checks can help reduce the risk that the equipment is quietly offline or needs attention.

Ask what the service does not do

Confirm whether the service is a medical device, whether professional monitoring is included and what happens in an emergency.
