Bathroom accidents are getting a common issue every year with several cases resulting even in death because of being exposed too late. This concept Help Lock will be beneficial for not only the aged or people who are living alone, but also the usual home owners. An alarm and a timer are the key elements that have been used to solve this problem. The timer sets automatically whenever a person locks the door and it will remind the user to cancel the alarm once the set time has passed. If there is no answer after 30 seconds, the lock will unlock the door, sound the alarm and dial an emergency number that was programmed earlier.

Has the HELP LOCH been installed in public washrooms ?
Would appreciate any additional info.
It's only concept, not yet commercially available
It is an innovative concept. It is definitely useful to the elderly. I suppose it can also be a bit of an inconvenience because of the 30 second limit. Do we know the progress of the concept?
I am working in Overdose fatality prevention and would like to discuss this concept further. Please contact me
