Advantages of mPERS

With the rapid growth in the number of elderly people, the need for medical warning systems is growing. The reason behind older adults having more risk to fall. For example, Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) are mainly intended for the elderly population and people with disabilities so that they can easily call for help in an emergency.

Personal medical alert systems are designed to keep seniors safe and prevent life-threatening injuries due to falls and other health emergencies that become more common with age. The systems usually come with a base unit equipped with a bi-directional help button and speaker, and a portable help pendant or bracelet.

During an emergency, all the user has to do is press the help button on the base station or pendant and they’ll be connected to the company’s 24/7 monitoring center. A live operator will help the user get the help they need according to the situation, whether it’s a family member, a neighbour, or first responders. If the operator is not able to get an answer from the user, help will be provided immediately.

Personal Medical Alerts Devices are Ideal For..

• Seniors who live alone or are alone at times
• People with medical conditions
• People with difficulty walking (in danger of falling)
• Anyone who might need help in an emergency
• Patients recovering at home after a hospital stay

mPERS (mobile personal emergency response) is the new and upgraded system currently in use. Even though the concept is the same as for contacting emergency response with the button press or if a fall is detected, it allows for the ability to be protected anywhere you go.

Due to advances in technology, data may be sent with automation to alert your family and friends to your emergency. This can be in the form of sms alerts or a customer care chat channel. GPS is also available in the mPERS that can triangulate your position which can help locate you in the event you cannot talk or describe your situation.

• Direct signal to 24/7 monitoring and no need for telephone line.
