A medical alert without a contract
Many medical alert services want a contract, a landline, a base station in the living room, or a box shipped back if you cancel. Lanturne has none of those. It runs on a regular smartwatch, it bills month to month through Google Play, and you can stop any time.
No contract
- Pay $30 a month, or $120 a year.
- The first 7 days are free.
- Cancel any time in the Google Play app, under Payments and subscriptions. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing.
- There is nothing to send back. You never bought hardware from us.
No landline and no base station
Lanturne runs on a Wear OS smartwatch, such as a Samsung Galaxy Watch. The watch reaches our servers over the internet, in one of three ways:
- Wi-Fi at home.
- Its own mobile plan, if the watch has LTE. Then it works away from home without Wi-Fi.
- The phone it was set up with, when that phone is nearby.
No monitoring center
Many medical alert services send the press to a call center. Lanturne sends the alert to you, the family, on your Android phone. If you don't answer after a few minutes, your backup contact gets it too.
Your phone gets an alert when:
- The morning check-in doesn't come.
- The watch goes quiet for longer than you chose.
- The watch is worn but finds no pulse and no movement.
- They hold the HELP button.
- The watch detects a fall and they don't cancel it.
If you want trained staff to answer every press, a monitored pendant is the better buy. A smartwatch or a medical alert pendant
What it is not
Lanturne is not a medical device and not an emergency service. It tells you and your backup contact what the watch noticed, so you can decide what to do.
