Description
Imagined emergencies and repetitive 911 calling is all too common for people with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The RAZ Memory Cell Phone Offers a solution called the RAZ Emergency Service. This Service directs emergency calls to an emergency dispatch agent rather than 911. The agent will know that the caller suffers from memory loss and will determine whether to contact 911 guided by this knowledge. Also, text messages will be sent to designated caregivers, providing caregivers the opportunity to cancel the emergency call so that 911 is not contacted.
The RAZ Emergency Service prevents 95% of unnecessary 911 calls.
The RAZ Emergency Service is managed through the caregiver online portal. The caregiver is able to input the user’s basic health information. This health information will be provided automatically to the emergency dispatcher during a call.
In addition, the caregiver will be able to designate up to three (3) emergency contacts who can receive text message alerts when the user places an emergency call. The text message will state that the emergency service has received an alarm from the user and that emergency contacts have been contacted. It will further ask “[w]ould you like us to contact emergency services?” The emergency contact(s) can interact with the emergency dispatcher via text message to determine whether emergency services should be contacted.
Here is an example of a call to the RAZ Emergency Service: The user taps the emergency button on the RAZ Memory Cell Phone. The phone asks the user to confirm that they wish to call the Emergency Service; the user taps “Yes”. The emergency dispatch agent answers the call and asks for the nature of the emergency. At the same time, text messages are sent to three (3) emergency contacts. The user explains that someone is trying to break into his house. The emergency dispatch agent relays this information by text message to the emergency contacts who instruct the emergency dispatch agent not to call 911 because their father actually lives in a secure senior living facility and frequently makes this exact claim in the middle of the night and that he gets confused. One of the emergency contacts volunteers that they will call someone at the senior living facility to visit him and calm him down. 911 emergency service is not contacted, and the emergency call is ended.
In the event of a real emergency, for example a heart attack, the emergency dispatcher can provide the user’s basic health information to 911 emergency service. The emergency dispatcher will also have access to the user’s location information through the Phone’s GPS, assuming that there is no interference with the GPS signal.
Monthly subscription plan – $9.99 per month plus one-time activation fee of $20.00.

So responsive and helpful for my mother who sometimes accidentally dials 911 when she means to call one of us. Thank you Raz!
Debby (verified owner) –
We realized the importance of a 911 intercept service when Mom called 911 nine times one day. She could not explain where she was and it took the 911 operations a while to figure out what was happening. The Emergency Service is very important and the facility was happy to have a solution. This allows her to keep her phone to contact family without risk of burdening the local 911 system. Since then, it’s worked well and when the family is alerted, we can call the facility and ask someone to check on her. The service gives us peace of mind and avoids false alarms.

This was the best solution for my sister’s tendency to press everything on the home screen if she was unable to contact me or other relatives. Still think that bright red banner should be smaller and less conspicuous.
Maria Phillips (verified owner) –
This is perfect if they have accidentally dialed 911.
Schari Porter –
He has not had to use this yet, but I really like the idea that he will not be calling 911 and tying up their time. Instead he will be calling an emergency line that has his information, as well as my phone number. If it is an accidental call, or not a real emergency the emergency service will let me know he called and if he needs something. I just really like the option of not disturbing 911, unless it is truly needed. My husband with FTD is not mentally able to make decisions about emergencies now.
