A panic button for elderly parents — independence with a safety net
If an ageing parent lives alone, one press should be all it takes to bring help. The MySecureOS 4G panic button is a personal safety and medical alert device built for older South Africans — no smartphone, no complicated setup, just a big SOS button that works anywhere there is mobile coverage.
Why a dedicated device beats a mobile phone
Smartphones are easy to forget, hard to unlock in a panic, and often left charging in another room. A standalone panic button is worn on the wrist, around the neck or clipped to a belt, so it is always within reach. It has its own SIM card and battery, so it works even when there is no phone nearby and no Wi-Fi.
What happens when your parent presses SOS
- The alarm lands instantly on a control room watched by real people, day and night.
- Their live GPS location is sent, so responders know exactly where to go.
- A two-way voice call opens through the device — no need to reach a phone.
- Armed response or medical assistance is dispatched to their location.
- You, the family, are notified and can follow the response on a live tracking link.
Built for older users
Fall detection raises an alert automatically if your parent falls and cannot press the button. Long battery life means fewer charges to remember. 4G nationwide coverage keeps it working at home, in the garden, at the shops or on a walk — anywhere in South Africa the mobile network reaches.
Peace of mind for the whole family
Older parents keep their independence; you get the reassurance that help is one press away. Ready to protect someone you love? Order a panic button and have it delivered to their door, or read our guide to choosing a medical alert device.
