Approximately 36 million falls are reported among U.S. older adults in the U.S. each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unfortunately, a fall or another life-altering medical emergency can occur at a moment’s notice, highlighting the value of assistive devices like medical alert systems. Once a user presses the button, they’re connected to a monitoring center representative within seconds. After the user confirms they need help, the emergency protocol that they decided on when they first purchased the medical alert system comes into play, which may include contacting a specific emergency service, a neighbor or a family member.
