  1. Medical alert systems provide seniors living alone or at risk of falling with chronic medical conditions an ideal solution. A push of the button alerts a 24-hour call center where a care specialist can contact family, friends or local emergency services as soon as there's an incident detected by the fall detection button - even if the user cannot press their help button themselves! These systems also include fall detection sensors to notify response teams automatically if someone falls - providing peace of mind to users while making life safer!

  3. Continuous cardiorespiratory and pulse oximetry monitors are invaluable tools for clinical staff during surgery. Unfortunately, however, these devices frequently produce noncritical alarms that include self-resolving events (e.g. tachycardia during crying) or technical problems (e.g. waveform). Such alarms can overwhelm staff leading to alarm fatigue.1

  6. Vigilance is essential to protecting patient safety and clinical workflow, yet can be difficult in an environment characterized by long response times for alarms from clinicians and high rates of nonactionable alarms. Researchers and engineering teams can design modernized alarm systems that reduce clinician burden while improving surgical outcomes for all involved parties.

  8. Elderly alarms Over time, medical alert systems have made significant strides forward with technology and features. Portable systems now connect seamlessly with multiple mobile phone services allowing their user to travel without compromising their ability to get help in case of emergency. Cellular triangulation allows the system to quickly determine whether someone is inside their home or out enabling faster dispatch times.

  10. HealthAlliance's Personal Help Button is currently the market's go-to medical alert system, connecting directly to one of its US call centers where live agents will assess and decide, with user input, which assistance should be dispatched in response to an incident. Users can program specific numbers - like family, friends or neighbors - into this waterproof button that can even withstand immersion in water!

  12. Before selecting the ideal medical alert system for you and your budget, it is essential to carefully consider all available options. Mobile systems equipped with nationwide wireless voice, data, and GPS technology could be better suited to active users who spend much of their time out and about. However, for those who spend most of their time at home and need the ability to contact help in case of an accident or fall. A base station-only system could be more suitable. Before selecting a medical alert system, be sure to research costs. Prices vary and could become costly if purchasing multiple devices and services at once; thankfully there are affordable medical alert systems that can offer peace of mind at an affordable cost.
