Out of all the countries in the world, America will always rank among the top in car culture. Even with the advent of rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, driving will always be a big part of American lives – especially with baby boomers.

This is the generation where driving meant more than just traveling from A to B. A driver’s license was a both a privilege and an accomplishment. Most importantly it symbolized freedom and car ownership was a very large part of the American dream.

So it’s not surprising that baby boomers have a hard time giving up the keys as they enter into their golden years. Even as our vision degrades, muscle movements become harder, and reaction times become slower, it probably won’t slow down these drivers much if at all.

Bay Alarm Medical recognized this and partnered up with SplitSecnd to provide their customers with an incredibly smart and simple solution to help alleviate worry for seniors and their loved ones.

We think the device is the best part of the entire experience in that it’s sooo simple to setup. Just plug into your 12-volt cigarette lighter outlet and you’re good to go. No pairing, setting up, or anything. Literally plug and play.

Similar to OnStar, the device provides you with access to 24/7 help with a push of a button. But unlike OnStar, you can move the Splitsecnd device from vehicle to vehicle and not have it tied to just one car.

The device is packed with features including automatic crash detection, GPS tracking, and a cellular module that will grab signals from all major carriers including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint. There aren’t any additional charges for this and is included with the monthly subscription.

The device is very versatile and can serve many functions other than just calling for help. For example, once paired to a smart phone, the device can be used as a tracker if you happened to forget where you park or if your car was stolen or towed. There’s also a usb port on the device so you can still charge your phone.

Two way communication was good considering the size of the device. We did have to turn down the stereo a little but all in all we didn’t have any issues with communicating with the rep. GPS tracking was very accurate and the rep was able to pinpoint our car while driving on the freeway at around 55 mph.

Automatic Crash Detection

By far this is the most valuable feature of the SplitSecnd. The device is constantly monitoring vehicle speed so In the event you’re involved in a crash, the system will know of the sudden drop in MPH and will auto-connect to Bay Alarm Medical’s 24/7 emergency call center. A rep will come over the device’s speaker and ask if everything is okay. If there’s no response, help will immediately be dispatched.

GPS Tracking 

We think the majority of buyers interested in this product will be the adult child that’s worried about their elderly parents. On the same note, these adult children may also have teenage drivers that they’re worried about as well.

SplitSecnd includes a very robust app platform that can be accessed on both a smartphone and desktop for full vehicle tracking so parents/caregivers will know where the cars are located, place geofencing boundaries, and integrates seamlessly with Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
