With the NBN rolling out across Australia, village operators are turning to innovative solutions to replace their old analogue/copper wire emergency call systems.

INS, which is Australia’s leading provider of emergency alarms to villages, has upgraded over 50,000 of these units free of charge for its existing clients and helping providers to become fully ‘telehealth’ compatible.

Imagine being able to monitor your health and activate an alarm if your blood sugar drops or your heart rate goes up or down – these are the kind of services that village operators will soon be able to offer their residents.

These ‘care concierge’ services will ensure you can comfortably – and safely – keep living at home for longer.
