Are you taking the first step to learning about medical alerts? Good on you! Whether you are looking for yourself or a loved one, a medical alert system can be a great tool to age in place as long as possible.
People with mobile medical alert systems enjoy all the freedoms they once did. The only difference is now they have fast access to 24/7 help at home or while out and about. Below, we break down all you need to know about Alert1's mobile medical alert devices.
What are Mobile Medical Alert Systems?
- Mobile medical alert systems are devices with a built in speaker and emergency button that, once pressed, can access quick, live help in seconds from a trained agent in a monitoring center.
- They may be worn as pendants, wristbands, or belt clips, depending on the style you select.
- Unlike in-home units that work only in and around the house, a mobile button alert works in all 50 US states, Canada, and Puerto Rico, as well as inside the home.
- The Alert1 Command Center is always available to assist if a fall is detected on a system with fall detection sensors or if the button on the device is pressed.
Who are Mobile Medical Alert Systems Good for?
- Seniors. Seniors aging in place are the first group that typically come to mind when you think of medical alerts. Older adults who are active and leave the house 3 or more times a week are typically good candidates for a mobile alert device.
- College or school aged children. Is campus safe at night? Does your child walk home from school alone? You can have peace of mind for them and for you with an emergency button alert system. They will know that if something were to happen, all they have to do is press their button for live help in seconds.
- Runners. When runners wear their help button, they don’t have to worry about running at night with headphones on. Freedom from worry is the feeling our members have when they use our alert systems. Our mobile units have built-in GPS, so even if you get lost or disoriented, we can locate you.
No matter what the reason for joining the expansive community of Alert1, people are happy they do.
Why Select a Mobile Medical Alert System?
Mobile medical alerts are different from regular medical alerts because you or your loved one can use them outside of the home. Mobile devices allow you to go anywhere in the US, Canada, or Puerto Rico with the comfort of knowing help is only a button press away.
Our home devices are excellent for those who mostly stay at home, but what if you want to go on a walk, to church, or to the grocery store? It's best to have access to help if anything were to happen. This is why Alert1 has mobile medical devices, including those with fall detection.
Here are more great reasons to consider a mobile medical alert device:
- Mobile medical alerts can be used both in the home and on-the-go.
- Mobile medical alerts allow you or your loved one to go anywhere with confidence. Help is just a button push away.
- Alert1 mobile med alerts are equipped with GPS technology. This allows responders to locate you quickly in an emergency or if you cannot communicate your location.
- No base station or landline is needed to use a mobile medical alert. Communicate right through the device itself.
- Mobile medical alerts have a long battery life and can be re-charged. When a charge is needed, recharge the battery just like a cell phone with a charging cradle we supply.
What Type of Mobile Medical Alerts Does Alert1 Offer?
Alert1 offers three types of mobile medical alerts.
On-the-Go Pendant
- Press the button on your med alert pendant and our Command Center will respond in about 10 seconds. If you're not OK, we send help. If we don’t hear anything in response, we still send help.
- The built-in GPS allows responders to locate you even if you're lost or disoriented or can't speak.
- This device also comes with a belt clip as an added wearable option.
Mobile Wristband
- The mobile wristband alert also goes wherever you go. If fall detection isn’t a necessity, this device is a good choice for peace of mind at all ages.
- Also consider this device for your children walking home from school or on your night runs, as it resembles a sports watch.
- This alert is great for anyone who doesn't wish to wear a pendant.
Fall Detection Mobile Alert
- Both the pendant and wristband come with optional fall detection. This means there are built-in sensors that can detect falls and send an alert for help even if the wearer is unable to press the button at the time of the fall.
Who Responds?
- If fall detection sensors are triggered or if the help button is pressed, our trained and professional U.S.-based Command Center will be on the line to help in seconds.
- After assessing your condition, our trained operators will send whatever help is needed.
- With Alert1, you are able to decide who gets called first-- emergency services or personal contacts known as your "Circle of Care." We can call friends, family, a neighbor, or emergency services—it’s up to you.
