What You Should Know
As new technologies and ways of transmitting information develop, Improvements to GPS wearable devices are being made all of the time. Some things will continue to be a challenge and are driven by the need to build a device that the user will want to wear. The main determining factors are size and appearance. If the device is too big or too ugly there can be resistance to wearing the device. You will agree this will become problematic!
All GPS units require a GSM network to relay information back to the management program. A GSM network is a mobile network and includes 3G, 4G, 5G, and more recently the IoT network which is run across the 4G network. Connecting, sending, and receiving data, finding the GPS Satellite network all take power to achieve. We have small devices with between 400 and 650 mAh battery supplying the power for these connections and many other functions.
On standby or rest the batteries can power the devices for a few days, and many 4G GPS Med Alert Watchsuppliers will make a big deal of this point, but in actual practical and in real life terms the device will need to be active whenever the risk is present. So at least 16 hours a day in most cases and sometimes more.
Charging of these devises needs to be managed on a daily basis. A typical day with a watch that supports a medium risk, needs to be on the job and will use 70% of the battery life. The up side is it will only take roughly 30 to 40 mins to fully charge.
From our history of working with clients we find this is very manageable. When habits are formed as part of the daily routine we see the devices charged and ready to go when the need presents.
Routine and habits are your friends.
