MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEMS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS

A medical alert system is a personal emergency response system that provides quick response to patients who face life threatening incidents. It is a small, lightweight, water-proof machine activated just by pushing a button. This is a portable system generally worn on a wristband or around the neck.

 

A medical alert device is simply a health monitoring system suitable for aged people who live alone or are suffering from heart-related diseases and chronic ailments such as arthritis, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

It puts to use the latest information technology and provides care in assisted living facilities. A few characteristics of this kind of medical alert practice are automatic verbal communication, answering calls from a distance, volume controls that can be adjusted and reminders for test calls on a monthly basis.

 

A particular alert machine consists of an amplified speaker, microphone that are extra sensitive, a large button and a wristband. It is made to work from any region in the vicinity of the subscriber’s home. The speaker system that’s very powerful and the sensitive microphone work in tandem for the subscriber to talk to the monitoring center. When someone pushes its alert button, it transmits signals via telephone lines to the center monitoring medical alerts round the clock. Then it starts a verbal communication channel where the subscriber is at one end and a trained expert is at the other end, always on alert to provide quick assistance. The centre sends local fire services, police, ambulance, or medical personnel as required.

 

A fall sensor that you get any medical alert device is particularly designed to sound alerts when someone falls or when these kind of similar accidents occur. Whenever a fall occurs, it automatically passes the information to the alert machine and the monitoring center. The alert machine comes with a back-up facility of power, and sends notification signals to the medical center automatically in case the battery requires replacement. A rechargeable, built-in battery works for a maximum of 24 hours in case there is a power failure. These medical alert machines are suited for outdoor use as well as when a person is on the move.
