VEESAG watch will automatically dial the phone numbers pre-configured for the SOS button and enable a two way conversation. At the same time, the watch also notifies the Portal and the Portal in turn alerts all the configured caregivers/contacts. Depending on the need, ambulance/police/fire personnel can be dispatched to the user by the caregivers.
We are actively working with Partners to provide Call Center support in regions where possible.

The Watch tracks the location of the patient, Geo Fence alerts will notify the care givers, if the patient wanders away.

If the patient has gone away for a longer period or if you suspect he is lost, then the Geo Fence alerts and Location tracking via Portal or Mobile app will help you reach the exact location and bring him home safely. One can even call the Watch, and speak with him to ensure that everything is okay.
At the same time, daily vital health data can be recorded using the MPERSENS and other VEESAG medical devices. This data might be very useful in future consultations with Doctors.

Troubleshooting
The watch needs clear access to the Sky for it to catch the GPS signal. If you deep inside your home/office, you might have to go near a Window and it should catch GPS. The watch has built-in AGPS which should also help to some extent when inside buildings. Please call customer support if the watch is still unable to catch GPS for longer period of time.
The Pulse Oximeter needs to be paired with the Watch. Please check the Training videos in the menu options on the Portal for pairing.
Make sure you turn ON the Zigbee in the MPERSENS watch. Once done, the watch can effectively communicate with the Pulse Oximeter.
It could be due to inconsistent GPRS signal that the watch is unable to transmit. The watch buffers the medical data in that case and will send it once the signal is available.
