Medical Alert & Call Systems
Older adults and others often find themselves unable to call for help just when they need it the most. Alert systems make it much easier to do so; some even monitor health conditions and automatically call emergency services.
Alert systems include:
- All-purpose "panic button" devices
- Mobile devices
- Fire and break-in sensors
- Wristwatch-style fall monitors
- Systems for the deaf and blind
