A connection to help, built around a wearable button.
A monitored medical alert system typically connects a help button to a monitoring center. Home systems use a base unit; mobile systems are designed for use away from home using a cellular connection. Features and coverage vary by model.
1. Wear the button.
Choose a pendant or wrist option you can use comfortably. Follow the manufacturer’s wearing, testing and charging instructions.
2. Press when you need help.
Use the help button to contact the monitoring center. Ask how two-way communication works and what the provider does if you cannot respond.
3. Connect with the right support.
Depending on the situation and the plan you have agreed, the operator may contact your chosen people or emergency services. This website is not itself the monitoring center.
Ask about fall detection.
Some compatible devices offer automatic fall detection, often as an optional feature. It cannot detect every fall. Press your help button whenever you can.
