2.) Second most asked questions.

3.) Third most asked questions.


2 (Q) Is it true that MyNotifi can be worn on multiple locations?

(A) Yes. It can be worn on the hip (clipped to the belt or to the waste line of of pants or under garments.)

2 (Q) How do we determine the best place to wear MyNotifi?

(A) You can wear your MyNotifi device on either location at your discretion. If you are active, wearing MyNotifi on the hip may be more suitable as it will work better for you at this location. It is also even more discrete than the wristband and much more discrete than a pendant. Although you can wear your MyNotifi on the wrist at any time, it is important to maintain good strength and range of motion of the arms and legs to avoid falls. We encourage you to create your own exercise protocols to exercise your arms and legs in the comfort or your home or at the gym. Also, it is advised to wear the MyNotifi wristband while bathing, as bathrooms are high risk for injury.

2 (Q) How easy it to change from the wrist band to the clip?

(A) It is easy switching from the wrist to the lip or vice versa. all you must do is remove the device (enclosure) from the clip or wristband and place it in the other device. The arrow on the device (enclosure) should always point downward, toward the wrist, or toward toward the ankle (during exercise). When on the wrist you will see the outline of the arrow on the underside of the wrist band and therefor, the arrow on the device (enclosure) will be closes to your skin. When worn in the clip, the arrow on the device (enclosure is not visible as it faces the solid of side of the clip, and when worn, is closest to your body.

All upgrades to MyNotiti® are FREE to us customers. New app feature will be pulled from the store and firmware will be automatically loaded with a click of a button on the customer’s app.

3 (Q) Is there an advantage of the belt mounted MyNotifi® to the wrist mounted MyNotifi®?

(A) Both devices are highly accurate detecting a fall. The belt mounted MyNotifi® is even more discrete than the wrist worn MyNotifi® and is much smaller than beepers (if you remember beepers). The wrist worn MyNotifi® allows you to set customizable exercise protocols from a menu of 38 exercises. The belt mounted MyNotifi® does not have this feature.

3 (Q) How do I choose the best place to wear MyNotifi?

(A) If you are an active and mobile senior, the belt mounted MyNoifi system may be best for you as it is more discrete. By nature of wearing the belt mounted MyNotifi on the belt, there is even fewer false alarms. If you are less mobile and do not have, he opportunity to go to the local gym to exercise, the MyNotifi wrist worn device may be better for you as you can create your own in-home, easy to perform exercises to keep strong and to maintain good range of motion.

Remote Physiological Program Q&A

 

2(Q) How can Medicare pay for device?

A.) Device is paid for through a Medicare program called remote physiological monitoring. (Device must be ordered and monitored by Doctor) MyNotifiRX agents contact your doctor on your behalf.

B.) To qualify for Medicare to reimburse your device, your doctor will do 2 things for you.

1.Your doctor will assign exercises 3-4 times a week to be performed through the device which will help with strength and range of motion.

2.And will also have you use a pulse oximeter 3-4 times a week to qualify. (pulse oximeter is a separate device included with MyNotifiRX wearable device shipment)

C.) The reason your doctor must prescribe the exercises and pulse oximeter is so they can read reports regarding your overall health per Medicare’s requirements.

2(Q) What is a Pulse Oximeter?

(A) It is a separate device that we provide alongside your MyNotifiRX device that clips to your finger (like an old-fashioned clothes pin) that you will then turn on. After approximately 15 seconds it will provide you with heart rate and oxygen saturation readings. These readings provide your doctor with your heart health and the amount of oxygen in your blood. You then manually input the collected data into the MyNotifiRx app when you perform your exercises.
