The SOS Button and Emergency Response
One of the key innovations is the "Bob Button," a wearable device that seniors can activate in case of emergencies. For Shirley, placing the button near her living area and bedroom provided a lifeline—an immediate call for help if needed. When pressed, trained response agents at the SG Assist call center receive alerts with essential details, including medical history, and coordinate prompt assistance, such as dispatching emergency services.
