Choosing to wear a personal alarm is an important decision that can significantly improve your safety, independence, and peace of mind. If you or a loved one are unsure whether a personal alarm is necessary, here are some common conditions and life situations where having one is highly recommended.
Medical Conditions That May Require Immediate Help
If you are living with a chronic illness or medical condition, a SureSafe alarm can help ensure you get the right assistance—fast. In the event of a fall, fainting, or sudden episode, help is only the press of a button away.
Conditions that may benefit from a personal alarm include:
- Heart disease or stroke risk
- Epilepsy or seizures
- Diabetes (especially Type 1)
- Parkinson’s disease
- Dementia or Alzheimer’s
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Having a SureSafe alarm on hand can make all the difference when every second counts.
Severe Allergies (Food, Medication, or Insects)
Anaphylaxis can occur quickly and without warning. SureSafe personal alarms let you call for help instantly—even if you’re unable to speak.
- Food Allergies: Nuts, shellfish, dairy, and other allergens can trigger serious reactions. An alarm ensures you’re never alone during a crisis.
- Drug Allergies: Avoid accidental exposure to antibiotics like penicillin with instant emergency support.
- Insect Stings: Bee or wasp stings can be fatal for those allergic. A personal alarm gives you fast access to emergency care.

Mental Health Support
Mental health conditions like PTSD, bipolar disorder, or severe anxiety can escalate into emergencies. SureSafe alarms offer discreet protection and the reassurance of knowing someone is always there if help is needed.
- Stay calm knowing help is just a button press away
- 24/7 monitoring means you’re never alone during an episode
“My wife wears a SureSafe alarm for her PTSD. It helps her feel safer when I’m not around. It’s been a game changer for both of us.” – Mark, NSW
Other Situations Where a Personal Alarm Is Recommended
Living Alone or Being Elderly
Falls are the leading cause of injury in older Australians. SureSafe alarms detect falls and automatically alert carers or emergency services—even if the wearer is unconscious.
Using Medical Devices or Implants
If you rely on a insulin pump, or other medical technology, you may need emergency help at any time. A SureSafe alarm ensures assistance is always within reach.
Organ Donors or Transplant Recipients
Medical professionals recommend wearing a form of identification if you’re a donor or have undergone an organ transplant. A personal alarm adds another layer of protection.
Ready to Feel Safer?
Whether it’s for your health, your independence, or your loved ones’ peace of mind, a SureSafe personal alarm can help you live life confidently—knowing help is always available.
