A Medical Alert system includes a help button connected to a two-way speaker. A press of the help button allows you to talk with a trained response specialist through the two-way speaker. The response specialist will assess your situation and call the emergency contact best suited to help you, whether a family member, friend, neighbor or first responder. Response specialists are available 24/7/365 through our U.S.-based response centers.
With 24/7/365 help available at the press of a button, you’ll have peace of mind with our easy-to-use medical alert systems.
A Medical Alert system is ideal for anyone who would like peace of mind by getting help at the press of a button in case of a medical emergency, fire, break-in or other situations requiring assistance. It is especially beneficial for older adults or seniors who want to live independently in their homes.
