The CALIMA App transforms the standard smartphone into a personal distress signal (PDS) device with which employees can call for immediate help in case of an emergency. ► HOW IS AN ALARM TRIGGERED? » Manual trigger via app, widget and hardware button » Automatic trigger in the event of a fall and immobility » Automatic trigger through an alarm timer (dead man's switch) ► WHAT HAPPENS IF AN ALARM IS TRIGGERED? As soon as an alarm has been triggered, the emergency contacts you have defined will receive a call and a text message or an email with the emergency message and a link. All relevant emergency information can be viewed using the web browser. ► WHAT DO I HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO DURING USE? To provide best protection, the following requirements must be met: » App must be open in the background » Functioning smartphone with sufficiently charged battery » Connection to the Internet (via mobile or WLAN) ► WHY CALIMA? » Perfect protection in case of danger (e.g. medical emergency, fall or threat) » GDPR (DSGVO) compliant, as the data is stored in Germany » Meets DGUV requirements, as developed according to rule 112-139 » Recommended by works councils, as no monitoring is possible » High user acceptance, as employees do not have to carry extra devices » No investment costs, as business smartphones are used » Flexible emergency chain with in-house emergency contacts or emergency control center ► HOW IS CALIMA IMPLEMENTED?
