I can’t be with Pa and Ma all the time, and that constantly worries me.
"What if they slipped in the bathroom with no one around?"
"What if they tried to call for help but couldn’t reach the phone?"
"Would I even know something had happened until it was too late?"
We have a domestic helper at home, but in an emergency, I can't expect her to know exactly what to do. She might panic or not react quickly in such a situation.
We even tried using emergency wearables, but my parents often forget to charge them or wear them, especially when going to the bathroom, where accidents are most likely to happen.
Thankfully, with BOP Button and the BOP Response Centre, they are protected 24/7 even when I'm far away.
Now, I can finally leave home with peace of mind, knowing they are just one press away from immediate, reliable help.

“How would I know if something’s happened?”
One of the worrying parts of caring for an ageing parent is the “not knowing”.
That’s why we made every BOP Button connected to the BOP App, built for family members and caregivers who want to stay informed in real time.
If the button is pressed, you’ll get an immediate alert, call logs and a full report from our response team - all within the BOP App.
It’s not just about getting information.
It’s about peace of mind knowing they’re protected, even when you’re not with them physically.

Most emergency devices need charging, syncing, or a stable internet connection.
But the BOP Button is built differently.
It doesn’t add to your electricity bill because it lasts up to 3 years without charging, needs no WiFi, and is completely maintenance-free.
It’s also waterproof, designed for high-risk areas like the bathroom, where accidents often happen.
If the battery runs low, we’ll replace it with no extra cost.

Many older Singaporeans still speak Mother Tongue dialects. And in a moment of crisis, the language gap can significantly hinder an effective response.
That’s why we’ve built our service to speak not just English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil but also dialects like Cantonese, Hokkien, and Teochew.
Many older Singaporeans still speak mainly in their Mother Tongue or dialects. In an emergency, a language gap can delay or prevent an effective response.
That’s why the BOP Response Centre is trained to communicate not just in English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil, but also in dialects like Cantonese, Hokkien and Teochew.
With BOP, your parents can get help in the language they understand best.

"I find this product very useful for seniors like me. I tried the product today and was very impressed at how fast the call centre responded. Getting help fast in an emergency can make the difference between life and death"
Lourdsamy Dass,
Senior in his 60s who lives alone
"My mum recently decided to live on her own. As I travel a lot for work, this service provides me with peace of mind knowing that she can get immediate help during times of difficulties."
Stacy Seah,
Caregiver in her 50s
"The BOP Button provides immediate help in emergencies and that is very important. I know how helpless it can feel to be alone when such things happen as I had a fall at home several years ago and had to wait for nearly four hours before help came. If I had the BOP Button then, I would have been spared all the trauma."
Shirley Mitchell,
Senior in her 60s who lives with her spouse
Minutes Matter.
That's all it takes to save a life.
One Saturday morning, a senior at home was unconscious after a fall.
At 7:39 am, his wife pressed the BOP Emergency Button.
By 7:50 am, an ambulance had been alerted and was on the way.
At 8:11 am, medics arrived at the residence, and by 8:27 am, the patient was already handed over to Raffles Hospital.
From the first press of the button to professional medical care, everything happened within minutes.
No other system in Singapore gets help this fast — and in an emergency, those minutes can mean life or death.
This level of speed and reliability is the result of years of development and close collaboration with the Singapore Government, from early prototypes in 2019 to today’s proven model.
But technology alone isn’t enough. Families need real people.
That’s why our 24/7 call agents are trained to respond anytime, even at 2 am.
In moments of pain, panic, and distress, we liaise with SCDF ambulance services, ensuring your loved ones are never left waiting when every second counts.
Beyond medical emergencies, we’re equally ready to alert the police or other authorities to assist a senior in distress.
Our mission is simple: to provide the fastest, most reliable lifeline for Singapore’s elderly and vulnerable.
CASES
Were caused by falls
CASES
Happened inside the home
CASES
Caused by bathroom slips,
poor lighting, or uneven
floors
CASES
Require hospitalisation
These numbers show one thing clearly: the risks are real, and they can happen at any time.
But here’s the good news:
Our elderly parents don’t have to face the same risks at home.
In times of crisis, all it takes is just one press of the BOP Button, and help will come fast.

Emergencies can’t be predicted, but being prepared makes all the difference. Fill out the form below, and we will answer all your questions as soon as possible.
Yes, the BOP Emergency Response Centre is staffed around the clock. Once the button is pressed, the system activates and our responders will call back within minutes to assess the situation and coordinate right help — even in the middle of the night.

The BOP Button works without WiFi. It comes with a built-in SIM card, so it stays connected to our response centre even if your home WiFi or electricity goes out.
Yes! Once the button is linked to the BOP App (available on iOS and Android), caregivers and family members will get real-time alerts, can view button activations, and see incident reports — all within the app. You can also manage multiple users through the app.
Wearables need to be charged and worn, but many seniors forget to charge them, and they often remove them, especially in the bathroom. CCTVs only show what happened. They don’t get help.
The BOP Button is always on, doesn't need charging, and connects directly to a real human responder 24/7.
Yes, many families install it next to a bed for easy access. It’s perfect for fixed home locations like bedrooms and bathrooms.
We don’t recommend placing the BOP button on wheelchairs. Since the system is linked to a fixed home location, moving it around can make it harder for responders to find your loved one during an emergency.
Not at all. The device is completely maintenance-free. It’s designed to last up to 3 full years without needing a single charge. That means no daily charging, no cables, and no risk of running out of power when it matters most.
Yes — and we highly recommend it. Many families choose to install it in the bathroom since most falls happen there. It’s waterproof and safe to use in wet areas.
