Personal Medical Alarms - Which One is Right For You?
Medical alarms provide you with a lifeline by connecting you to a dispatcher through a base unit and wearable help button. Pushing either button initiates a call either directly to 911 or your emergency contact, with professional responders arriving within about 30 seconds to assess your emergency situation and talk you through how best to address it. These devices come in both monitored and unmonitored versions; we advise selecting monitored as they provide faster assistance by not forcing you to contact an emergency contact or waiting until someone comes directly.
