Medical Alert Systems Miramichi, New Brunswick

Medical alert systems function by activating a signal which will send out a signal to monitoring systems. The call can go out to family members, health professionals, as well as an emergency response base. The situation will be reviewed, as well as medical workers can possibly be sent if required.

There are some medical alert systems that incorporate wireless voice, data, as well as GPS equipment. This allows for monitoring in real-time, location positioning, and provide quick emergency services when required.

Medical alert systems have a switch that can be pressed when help is required. Pressing the button will send out a signal out to a 24-hour emergency contact station. An operator will answer the call while being able to view the individual’s medical history and also a list of emergency contacts. The help button may be put on by the individual either on the wrist or as a pendant. The switches are usually water resistant to make sure that they can also be used in the shower.

GPS technology (Global Positioning System) enables the agent to find the location of the individual. This offers added safety and security for the customer who might be away from the house when assistance is required.

Many systems even come with automatic fall detection. The switch can identify a fall and activate the emergency call.

Simply put:

• The user pushes the necklace or emergency fall button
• Information is sent to the emergency call centre
• An operator will set up 2-way communication to see if help is needed
• Depending on the need, an agent will call a relative, caregiver, or emergency service
