1. Personal alarms provide elderly individuals with a vital link to assistance when they require it most. A personal alarm gives both themselves and their loved ones peace of mind knowing help is just a button press away.

3. Many individuals fear an accident, fall, or medical emergency will occur and leave them unable to summon help quickly from loved ones or summon emergency response services for help. With an emergency alert system installed in their homes, seniors can live independently with peace of mind knowing they can contact help immediately should an incident or illness arises.

6. A portable medical alert system consists of two parts, including a portable device worn around the neck or wrist and a base unit that can be located anywhere within a home, that are linked together. An alert can be activated by pressing a button on either unit; this will send notification of assistance needs directly to their caregiver or monitoring center. Some devices offer GPS tracking functionality which allows users to send their location directly to loved ones or emergency responders should assistance be required outside the home.

8. Medical Alert Some studies of personal alarms have demonstrated their positive results by showing reduced hospital admissions and residential care use among individuals who use them (Bradbeer, Lindeman & Smith Citation 2002 and Lee et al Citation 2007). However, due to limitations in research design and data collection methods it remains challenging to accurately gauge the direct impact of such devices on individual health outcomes. As random assignment would be unethical, comparing two control groups that don't use alarms is difficult. Researchers conducting investigations about personal alarm use often manage to recruit groups more closely aligned in terms of demographics and health status with purchasers than would be possible through sampling from the general population.

According to a recent study, purchasers used their alarms for approximately one third of all emergencies they experienced over one year; nonpurchasers did not use alarms in any emergency situations that arise during that same time frame; there was also an increase in activity restrictions and fears related to falling among nonpurchasers compared with purchasers during this period.
