The Protectu service works everywhere where there is a mobile operator signal available. If you live in a town or a village, the service will definitely work there. If you know that the signal of a mobile operator is weaker at your place, please, let us know in your order which operator provides you with the best signal in your home. We insert the appropriate SIM card into your device.

At present the option to rent the smart device is not available. Once you purchase the device, it goes into your possession.

We charge for the service in arrears and the fee for the previous month must be paid until no later than 15th of the following month. For example, fee for March must be paid until 15 April.
We do not provide the paramedics service for cases of unavailability of contact persons. We have still been working on the offer of paramedics. In case of interest inquire about the expected availability of the paramedics service at the assistance service user's domicile at the customer helpline +420 774 403 248.
Service of depositing the keys is currently not available. As an appropriate alternative we recommend purchase of a safety keybox which can be installed in front of the user's door. The code for the box can be stored in our system and the operator will communicate the keybox code only to integrated rescue system units if needed. Once the code is used, you change the code and communicate it to us so that the new code is registered into our assistance system. Safety keyboxes are produced by a couple of companies and costs start at CZK 1000.
This device is equipped with GSM localization system which has technological limitations concerning searching for people. The accuracy of search is in hundreds of meters and depends on the density of base stations for mobile operators in the country. Device is not equipped with a GPS module.
Protectu service recognizes a fall on the basis of immobility. We consider this method more appropriate and reliable for the use at home than detecting the fall itself because falling down can have a number of forms. It can often be slow slipping onto the ground after which the user is unable to lift himself/herself..
The immobility period, after which the system will alert of a potentially hazardous situation (e.g. a fall), can be chosen according to your wishes and user's lifestyle.
Please, contact us at the customer service or email. We will generate a new link for user's profile website form in order to change data. In the user's profile you will be able to see everything that is filled in the system. After making changes it will be necessary to print the user's profile again and send it back signed to our place.
If you plan not to use the assistance service for a few days, contact our customer helpline and let us know since when you plan not to temporarily use the service. We will reset the service so that the system will show only alarms upon pushing the red button. During the hospital stay you can leave the device connected to the charger or leave it discharge. After returning from the hospital charge the device, push the red button and the operator will activate all alarms again.
If you plan not to use the service for more than a month, contact us again at our customer helpline. We will send you a Request for Interrupting the Service by email and we will deactivate the service after receiving your signed document with the requested date for interrupting the service. Service can be interrupted for up to 6 months. Service interruption and reactivation are free. Service is not charged during its interruption.
As we currently do not provide service of paramedics, who would visit and help the user in case of emergency, it is necessary to ensure assistance for the user even in the situation when contact persons (often family members) leave for vacation. You can temporarily change the contact persons (e.g. to provide contact for a neighbor who will have the keys during the vacation) or you can install a safety keybox in front of the user's flat.
For any changes in the user's profile or instructions for user's assistance, please, contact the helpline or write us to the following email: info@protectu.cz
