In Emergency's Embrace: Key Factors in Selecting Your Ideal Medical Alert System

When you’re getting ready to start looking for a medical alert system, there are two big decisions you need to make. These choices will affect how well the system works and how much it will cost.

Home or Away System

Originally, medical alert systems were for home use with a landline. You can still choose that.

But now, some work at home using a cellphone network, and no landline is needed. When you press the button on your wearable, it connects to help through a unit at your home.

Some even work outside, using cellphone networks and GPS to find you if you’re lost. If you don’t go out much, a home system is fine. But if you’re often out and about, having extra protection outside your home is a good idea.

Fall Detection

Many companies give you the option of adding automatic fall detection for an extra monthly fee.

Usually, these devices can detect when you fall and will automatically contact the dispatch center or an emergency contact, similar to pressing the call button.

Apple Watch (iWatch) vs Senior Protection Medical Alert Smartwatch

Talking about money, the Apple Watch costs more upfront than a medical alert smartwatch, which you don’t have to pay for right away. With the medical alert one, you just pay a small fee every month for the services it gives you. It’s not just about the thing itself; it’s mostly about the services that come with it.

The big difference between the two smartwatches is the kind of service they offer. The Senior Protection Medical Alert Smartwatch is designed with key features like fall detection, an emergency button, and medication reminders, making it easy to use and addressing the specific needs of older individuals.

While the Apple Watch has many cool features, the Medical Alert Smartwatch stands out for its simplicity and focus on safety, making it a great choice for seniors looking for an easy-to-use and reliable device.
