How Fall Detection Works

Grandmother wearing Medical Alert Mobile System carries granddaughter

If you are unable to press your button and our sensor technology detects a fall, our trained response specialists will contact you immediately through the system’s two-way speaker. Even if you cannot speak, our trained specialists will contact you to assess the situation and send the appropriate help.

Our fall detection technology can automatically sense a fall.

Response specialists contact you through a two-way speaker to assess your needs.

If necessary, we dispatch emergency help to your location.

If we can’t make verbal contact with you, we dispatch help anyway.

Advanced Fall Detection Technology

Accelerometers

Sensors used in our optional fall detection can measure any high acceleration force from a fall. These sensors will alert our team in the event of a fall, and one of our trained response specialists will contact you to assess your situation and send the appropriate assistance.

Barometric Sensors

Barometric sensors detect any type of change in pressure. For example, if you move from a standing position to a horizontal position, the sensors will alert our team, and one of our Response Specialists will contact you to ensure your safety.
