Problem
Older adults and individuals with limited mobility often lack a reliable, easy-to-use way to summon help quickly during emergencies such as falls, especially when they are away from a phone or landline. Existing solutions may require charging, complex setup, or are not waterproof, limiting their practicality for daily use at home or on the go.
Solution
Umps offers Australian‑designed personal alarms that operate over the 4G Telstra network, eliminating the need for a phone, Wi‑Fi, or landline. Users wear a lightweight, waterproof pendant or wrist‑mounted device that can be pressed to connect instantly to a 24/7 monitoring centre or designated family members, with two‑way voice communication. The Mobile Alarm adds automatic fall detection, triggering an alert and transmitting GPS location when the wearer cannot press the button. Both products arrive pre‑configured, require no charging (home pendant lasts over two years; mobile alarm up to two days), and are supported by a no‑lock‑in, transparent pricing model with a 60‑day money‑back guarantee.
Target Audience
Primary customers are families and caregivers of seniors or individuals with mobility challenges, as well as health professionals and NDIS providers seeking reliable personal safety solutions for home and community use.
