Medical Alert Systems Oshawa, Ontario

Medical alert systems work by triggering an alarm which will send out a signal to monitoring devices. The call can go out to family, caregivers, and an emergency response base. The situation will be reviewed, and medical personnel can possibly be sent if required.

There are some medical alert systems that feature wireless voice, data, and GPS solutions. This permits monitoring in real-time, location tracking, and provide fast emergency services when needed.

Medical alert systems have a switch that can be pressed when assistance is required. Pressing the switch will send out an alarm out to a 24-hour emergency call station. An agent will answer the call while having the ability to view the person’s medical background as well as an index of emergency contacts. The help button can be put on by the person either on the wrist or as a necklace. The buttons are normally waterproof to ensure that they can also be worn in the shower.

GPS tech (Global Positioning System) allows the agent to identify the locality of the user. This offers added safety and security for the customer who might be away from the home when assistance is needed.

Some systems also feature automated fall detection. The switch can detect a fall then activate the emergency call.

In short:

• The customer presses the necklace or emergency fall button
• Relevant information is transferred to the emergency call station
• An agent will set up 2-way communication to see if support is needed
• Based on the concern, an agent will get in touch with a relative, health worker, or emergency service
