More security in everyday life: The emergency wristband with fall detection
Falls are among the most common accidents in older people and often have serious consequences. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately one in three people over 65 fall at least once a year. For people over 80, the risk even rises to over 50 percent. About 20 percent of these falls lead to severe injuries such as bone fractures or head traumas, which can massively impair quality of life.
However, physical injuries are only part of the problem. Studies show that more than half of all people who fall are unable to get up on their own. This situation carries significant risks: if the fallen person remains motionless on the floor for an extended period, a so-called lying trauma can occur – a life-threatening condition caused by pressure sores, circulatory problems, or hypothermia.
In addition, falls often lead to great fear of further accidents, social isolation, and withdrawal from an active life. Therefore, quick and reliable help in an emergency is all the more important to minimize the consequences and maintain independence.
What is an emergency call bracelet with fall detection?
A medical alert bracelet with fall detection is a portable assistance system equipped with sensors, specifically designed for emergencies. It automatically detects typical fall movements – without any manual triggering – and directly notifies either an emergency service or relatives.
The goal: To enable people to have safety and self-determination in all walks of life – whether alone at home, in the garden, or on the go.
Gardia – The smart emergency bracelet with reliable fall detection
Gardia is an intelligent emergency call bracelet with integrated AI-based fall detection, specially designed to meet the needs of older people and those with limited mobility. It combines modern technology with a simple operating concept – for maximum safety with minimal effort.
Key features of Gardia:
The Gardia emergency wristband offers many smart features that significantly increase your safety in everyday life. From automatic fall detection to GPS tracking and the manual SOS function – learn how Gardia reliably protects and supports you here.
Automatic emergency call thanks to fall detection
The Gardia emergency wristband is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors that measure movements around the clock. Thanks to intelligent algorithms, the system immediately recognizes when a fall occurs and automatically triggers an emergency call. This ensures that help arrives immediately, even in cases of unconsciousness or immobility.
Professional 24/7 emergency call center and personal emergency contacts
In an emergency, Gardia reliably informs the 24/7 Bosch emergency call center and/or up to six personal emergency contacts. All important information is transmitted immediately so that quick help is possible.
To ensure that emergency services reach the accident site quickly, the emergency call bracelet transmits the wearer's exact position. This eliminates long searches – and immediate assistance can begin. This is a decisive advantage, especially for falls outside one's own home.
Manual SOS function
In addition to automatic fall detection, Gardia also offers a manual SOS button. This allows the user to make an emergency call themselves at any time if they feel unsafe or notice a danger. This flexibility provides additional protection and control in everyday life.
Independent of the smartphone
Gardia is a standalone device and does not require a smartphone to function. The built-in mobile module allows for a direct connection to the emergency call center. This makes the bracelet particularly reliable and easy to use – even for people with little or no experience with modern technology.
Nursing care fund subsidy facilitates procurement
Nursing care funds support the assumption of costs for emergency call wristbands like Gardia. This significantly reduces the financial burden and makes modern security technology affordable for many people. Information on funding can be found here or at your nursing care fund.

In the following video, you will see how Gardia's emergency wristband with fall detection works in an emergency and quickly organizes help – fully automatically and reliably.
How does fall detection work with Gardia?
The Gardia emergency bracelet with fall detection uses modern sensor technology in combination with artificial intelligence to reliably analyze movement sequences and accelerations. Unlike many conventional systems, our fall detection is specially tailored to the movement profile of elderly people – and also detects soft falls, which often go unnoticed but can be particularly dangerous.
A special highlight: you can individually adjust the sensitivity of the fall detection. Depending on your personal lifestyle or health condition, you can choose between three different levels – from low to high sensitivity.
