Frequently Asked Questions
How does the wandering detection feature work?
The OTG+ Wandering button uses breadcrumbs to determine when the Wearer is at home. After leaving the proximity of the home (typically around 60 metres), an Away trigger is sent to Lifeline which generates a SMS message to the caregiver. When the Wearer returns, a Return Home signal is generated to Lifeline and a SMS is once again sent to the caregiver.
Can caregivers set up custom alerts?
No.
Does it work indoors and outdoors?
Yes, but this service requires access to a third-party cellular network provider.
What happens if the user leaves a predefined safe zone?
Responders will receive SMS alerts (mandatory) from Lifeline when their loved one leaves home. The message has a link to a map which allows them to track their loved one’s general location and notify Lifeline if help is needed.
