The Golden Hour - "The First Hour After Injury will Largely Determine a Critically Injured Persons' Chances of Survival"

Founder of the Shock Trauma Institute in Baltimore, R. Adams Cowley, is widely recognized as the father of the golden hour concept, which states that “the first hour after injury will largely determine a critically injured person’s chances of survival.”

The concept of the golden hour has been widely debated since 1975, and whether or not the one-hour time frame is actually as important to a person’s survival after a traumatic injury. Regardless, we can all agree on this; if you, or someone you know got hurt, you or they would want help as soon as possible. When you boil the golden hour down to those terms, it becomes logical and practical messaging: receive help as soon as possible.

Personal Emergency devices can improve the response time of an injury, especially for those who are incapacitated. The Personal Emergency devices can help in two ways: if the person is able to speak or move after a fall or an injury, they can press the button on a Personal Emergency device and talk to an operator. Or, if a user falls, these devices with fall detection will sense the fall and call an operator automatically. An operator can then assess the situation, even if the user is unable to speak and send EMS to the location of the device.

With winter on the way, Personal Emergency devices are indispensable this time of year.

✔️ Falls & Slips: Ice and snow increase the risk of injury, especially for seniors with limited balance or mobility.

✔️ Cold-Related Health Risks: Hypothermia and frostbite can develop quickly in older adults, even indoors if heating systems fail.

✔️ Isolation & Slow Emergency Response: Snowstorms and icy roads can delay help from family or first responders — making monitored protection even more vital.

✔️ Dehydration & Fatigue: Seniors often drink less in winter, leading to fatigue or dizziness — increasing the likelihood of falls.

Personal Emergency Response Systems are not a luxury but an essential safety solution. Gives you the confidence and independence to stay in your own home and go out knowing help is available should you need it.

Connect Care's GPS Safe Watch and the GPS Safe Pendant/Clip devices use intelligent fall detection to sense a sudden fall and automatically send an alert, even when the user can’t press the button. That means you get protection when you need it most.
