How it works
When you need us, here is exactly what happens
Three steps. Moments, not hours.
You press the button. Or you do not have to.
One press calls for help from anywhere in Canada. And if you fall and cannot press it, automatic fall detection calls for you.
A live care team member answers through the device.
A real person in our Canadian response centre speaks with you in moments, confirms what you need, and stays with you.
The right help is on the way.
Emergency services, a neighbour, or your family. Our team sends the right help to your location and notifies your emergency contacts.
All of this, from $49.95/month

Local support
Nova Scotia programs worth knowing about
Provincial supports that help people stay in their own homes. Holo Alert is not affiliated with any of them, and eligibility is decided by the Government of Nova Scotia.
Home Care (Continuing Care)
Nova Scotia's Continuing Care program provides nursing, personal care, respite and essential home support in a person's own home. A Continuing Care coordinator assesses what is needed and arranges the services the person qualifies for.
Nova Scotia residents with a valid Health Card and an assessed need for home care services may be eligible.
Government of Nova ScotiaHome Repair and Accessibility Program
Provides up to $18,000 toward eligible home repairs and up to $16,000 toward eligible accessibility upgrades, such as ramps and bathroom changes, so people can keep living in the house they are already in.
Homeowners who occupy the home and whose gross household income falls under the program limits may be eligible; accessibility funding requires a resident senior or person with a disability who needs the upgrade to stay at home.
Government of Nova ScotiaProperty Tax Rebate for Seniors
Rebates half of the previous year's municipal residential property taxes, up to $800, for eligible senior homeowners with lower incomes.
Homeowners named on the property title who paid their municipal residential property taxes in full and qualify for the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement or GIS Allowance may be eligible.
Government of Nova ScotiaHome Oxygen Services Program
Provides home oxygen therapy services to Nova Scotians who medically require long term or palliative oxygen, with an annual reassessment by a designated physician.
Nova Scotians with a valid Health Card, a physician referral, a qualifying chronic respiratory condition and a suitable home environment for oxygen use may be eligible.
Government of Nova ScotiaProgram details and eligibility change over time; confirm with each program directly. Holo Alert is independent and not affiliated with these programs.
Made for Nova Scotia
Choosing a device and getting it to your door in Nova Scotia
Holo Alert comes in pendant, wrist and watch styles, and the right one usually comes down to how you like to wear things. The Holo Pro is a light pendant with fall detection always on and a caregiver app for family who live away. The Holo Mini sits on the wrist and is the smallest of them, with a lanyard and belt clip available if you would rather not wear it there. The Holo Active looks like an ordinary watch and adds heart rate and body temperature readings.
Ordering takes a few minutes. Shipping is free to every Nova Scotia address, from Yarmouth to Sydney to the side roads off Highway 104, and the device arrives ready to wear. There is nothing to install, no base station to find an outlet for, and no technician visit to schedule. Every device is water resistant enough for the shower and charges on a small magnetic cradle overnight, the way a phone does.
When the button is pressed, a care team member in Canada answers through the device itself. Fall detection places that call automatically if a hard fall registers. Plans start at $49.95 a month, and the first ten days are risk free, so you can wear it through an ordinary week before you decide anything.
- Free shipping to every Nova Scotia address, rural routes included
- Pendant, wrist or watch styles, whichever suits you
- Fall detection included on every plan, at no extra charge
- Shower safe, with a magnetic charger that lives on the nightstand
- 10-day risk-free guarantee on every order

Built for Nova Scotia
What comes with every Holo Alert plan in Nova Scotia
Everything a medical alert should do, wherever your day takes you.
Fall detection on every plan
Included at no extra charge on each device. If a hard fall registers, the call goes out on its own. It does not catch every fall, so press the button whenever you can.
Talk through the device itself
Two-way voice means you speak with a Canadian care team member from wherever you are standing, without reaching for a phone.
Free shipping across the province
Every order ships free to any Nova Scotia address, and the device arrives ready to wear with no installation and no technician visit.
Ten days to change your mind
Wear it through a normal week. If it is not right, return it in original condition inside the 10-day window for a full refund.
Caregiver app on the Holo Pro
Family can see location, receive alerts and ring the device, which is useful when the closest relative is a long drive up the 102.
Watch styles with health readings
The Holo Active pairs heart rate and body temperature with the SOS button, on a device that reads as a regular smartwatch.

Three things that happen with Holo Alert
The difference is felt, not just seen.

You feel safe on your own
Confidence, quietly restored.
At home by the fire or out for a morning walk, help is one press away. You keep your routines without second-guessing every step.

Your family worries less
More connection, less anxiety.
They know a live care team member is on standby around the clock. Fewer anxious check-in calls, more time enjoying being together.

You stay independent, longer
Your home. Your terms.
The right support at the right time lets you keep living in your own home. Walk the neighbourhood, tend the garden, visit friends.

One system. Total protection.
Your wearable. Our care team. Working together, around the clock.
Peace of mind, built in.

Common hesitations
If you are thinking "not yet", read this first
Every customer started with one of these.
I am still active. I do not need one yet.
Most falls happen to active people doing everyday things. One in three seniors falls each year, and most did not see it coming. Holo Alert is like a seatbelt: you wear it hoping you never need it, and it is already there if you do.
The best time to get protected is before you need it.
I do not want to wear something that looks medical.
Neither do our customers. The Holo Active looks like a modern smartwatch, and the Holo Pro pendant is small enough to tuck under a shirt. No one has to know unless you tell them.
Protection that looks like a watch, not a warning label.
My phone already has fall detection.
A phone is not built for emergencies. It needs daily charging, it can be out of reach, and it calls 911 rather than a trained care team member who knows your situation and who to contact. Holo Alert works on its own, with a single press or an automatic alert.
A phone across the room is not a safety plan.
It is probably complicated to set up.
Your device arrives programmed, charged, and ready to wear. Then our care team calls you to run a live test together and answer every question. Most people are fully set up in about five minutes.
If you can open a box, you can set up Holo Alert.

Plans from $49.95/mo · Free shipping · 10-day risk-free guarantee · No long-term contract
Fall detection does not detect all falls. Gradual slides, slow collapses, or certain movements may not trigger an alert. Customers should press the SOS button manually if able.
Location accuracy varies and may be affected by network availability, indoor environments, and other factors.
Holo Alert does not replace 911 or emergency medical services.
Monthly plans are billed month to month with no contract or cancellation fee. Annual plans are billed for the full year upfront at a reduced rate and include a free device. Annual plans are non-refundable after the 10-day risk-free guarantee period. Both plan types are covered by the 10-day risk-free guarantee when you first sign up.
Statistics cited reflect publicly available Canadian public health data and industry research on falls among older adults and emergency response outcomes; sources are noted alongside each figure. Government program details change over time and should be confirmed with each program directly.
