Daycares are host to society’s most precious and potentially vulnerable citizens. Parents across the country can lose hours and hours of precious sleep worrying about the safety of their children. But in the end, there is only so much that even the brightest and most dedicated of parents can do. Most parents must go to work and leave their children at a daycare center. Thanks to a recent technological breakthrough, there is a product that can quite literally alter this dynamic. MediPendant is a medical alert system that allows the person carrying the small pendant device to instantly communicate with a live EMT-certified operator directly through the pendant. This level of instant assistance would have been impossible just a few years ago. Today, as long as an individual is within 600 feet of the base unit, it is possible for the system to be activated. The implication of having a personal emergency response system in the hands of your child’s caretaker is an idea that will probably bring you instant relief. Further, most parents will breathe easier during the day knowing that the staff at a daycare is equipped with a device like the MediPendant. At a daycare center, unfortunately, there are a wide variety of things that can go wrong that need immediate attention. Every minute can make a difference in the case of an accident, ingestion of poison, suffocation or choking incidence. Once MediPendant is activated, an EMT-certified operator instantly communicates with the person who is in possession of the pendant. It is that fast and that immediate. There is no dialing of 911 or waiting for an operator to answer. When an emergency is noted, the instant response is from a living person and not a computerized system. The idea of a personal alarm being used in a daycare is one of those powerful ideas that leaves one wondering, “Why didn’t someone do this years ago?” This powerful concept has the potential to make daycares across the country remarkably safer for both caregivers and students alike. Now, that is a breakthrough idea worthy of attention and note. |
