The intelligent emergency call system – immediate assistance without pressing a button!
A few days ago, I stumbled upon an inspiring blog post from our business partner, Living on The Côte d’Azur – and honestly, after reading it, I almost wanted to pack my bags right away. Sun, morning peace by the sea, art classes, or visiting local markets – the French Riviera sounds like the perfect place to fully enjoy retirement (or simply life). And why not? Those who are independent can shape their lives as they please – whether in a stylish villa with sea views, a charming cottage in the mountains, or an elegant city apartment. But – and here’s the downside – what happens if a medical emergency suddenly occurs and there’s no one around to help? A fall, a heart attack, or a stroke can happen out of the blue. And when help is not nearby, it can be dangerous. This is where Synaedge’s intelligent emergency call system comes into play, ensuring that help is provided immediately in an emergency, even without the need to press a button.
The risk of being alone – When no one is there to help.
It’s a completely normal morning. You’ve just gotten up, haven’t put on your smartwatch yet (it’s still early), shuffle into the kitchen, and look forward to your first cup of coffee. The smell of freshly ground beans is already in the air – and then it happens. A sudden dizzy spell, a fall, maybe a moment of weakness. You lose consciousness. And now? No emergency button within reach, no phone in hand – and the smartwatch? Still on the nightstand. Minutes pass. Then hours. No one notices that something has happened. Dehydration, hypothermia, or circulatory problems begin to set in. And if it was a stroke or heart attack, every second counts.
And this happens more often than one might think:
- One in three people over 65 years old falls at least once a year.
- In 50% of cases, the person who has fallen remains without help for more than an hour.
- An untreated stroke can lead to irreversible damage within just a few hours.
- Every year, thousands of seniors die as a result of a fall because no immediate help was available.
But what if an intelligent system could detect the fall, trigger an alarm, and immediately initiate a response? This is where Synaedge comes in.
A truly intelligent emergency call system offers more than just an emergency button.
Traditional emergency systems only work if you actively use them. Sounds logical, right? But that’s exactly where the problem lies. Imagine slipping in the shower, hitting your head, and lying unconscious. Or your circulation failing before you even realize something’s wrong. Perhaps a stroke strikes suddenly, and you can’t move your hand. And now?
The emergency button? Isn’t nearby.
The alarm bracelet? It’s on the dresser. Or is it?
The phone? Far away, out of reach. Battery dead.
And that’s exactly why we need a solution that reacts immediately. A system that detects emergencies, even when you can no longer take action yourself. A guardian angel that doesn’t wait for you to press a button – but automatically calls for help when it matters. This is exactly what Synaedge offers. The Synaedge solution works entirely automatically. Thanks to advanced AI-powered video analysis or specialized sensors in sensitive areas, the system detects:
- Falls and collapses.
- Prolonged inactivity in critical areas (e.g., bathroom, bedroom, kitchen).
- Unusual behavior patterns that indicate an emergency.
- Smoke and fire development, as well as attempted break-ins.
When an emergency is detected, the system automatically activates the Synaedge security control center.
This is how emergency detection works in practice:
- Real-time monitoring: You’re about to make that coffee, but suddenly everything goes dark – Our smart video analysis or specialized sensors immediately detect that you’ve fallen. If you don’t get up within a defined time, the system triggers an alarm.
- Emergency verification by the security control center: The security control center gains access to the video stream – 10 seconds before the event – and can assess the situation. What happened? Is it a false alarm, or has a real medical emergency occurred?
- Communication with the affected person: Depending on the type of camera, the security control center can address you via a speaker: “Hello Mrs. Meier, is everything okay with you? Can you move?” If there is no response from you or if obvious signs of a medical emergency are present, emergency services are immediately notified.
- Quick access for emergency services: Thanks to integration with digital access systems, the security control center can unlock the door for the paramedics, eliminating the need for a forced entry.

- Do you live alone? Then you probably enjoy your independence. But what if something happens, and no one notices? A fall in the kitchen, a weakness spell in the living room – and no one is there to help? Or even worse: A break-in in the middle of the night or a fire while you’re sleeping? With Synaedge, such worries are a thing of the past.
- Do you have a pre-existing condition? Maybe your circulation isn’t always stable, or you have an increased risk of falls, strokes, or heart attacks. Of course, you feel fit most of the time – but safety never hurts!
