Field notes
The described setup includes a hub and help buttons fitted at home, with family contacts added and a test call run to each phone. The escalation schedule gives contacts 45 seconds after the WhatsApp alert before the first call, then proceeds through the list before calling everyone at once. Atriamas says the service is preparing its first homes and explicitly positions it alongside, not in place of, Malaysia's 999 emergency number.
