A SAFETY ALERT DEVICE COULD REPLACE PANIC ALERT BUTTONS

Winchester, VA – Reuters is reporting on a new device aimed at replacing the panic alert buttons used by at-risk individuals such as the elderly. It is called the Vevios bracelet. Graduate student Hanne Palsson from Lund University explains how the bracelet works. With 80% of safety alert alarms being false, she says that this will go a long way to cutting down on such false alarms.
