Medical Alert Systems Timmins, Ontario

Medical alert systems function by setting off an alarm which can send a signal to monitoring systems. The call can go out to family, health professionals, and also an emergency response team. The situation will be examined, and also medical workers can be sent if required.

There are some medical alert systems that incorporate wireless voice, data, as well as GPS solutions. This allows for monitoring in real-time, location tracking, and also provide fast emergency services when needed.

Medical alert systems have a button that can be pushed when aid is required. Pushing the button will send an alert out to a 24-hour emergency call centre. An operator will answer the phone call while having the ability to view the user’s medical history and a directory of emergency contacts. The help switch can be worn by the person either on the wrist or as a pendant. The switches are usually waterproof so that they can even be worn in the shower.

GPS tech (Global Positioning System) allows the agent to identify the specific location of the individual. This offers added security for the individual who might be out of the house when support is needed.

Many systems even include automatic fall detection. The switch can identify a fall and turn on the emergency call.

In short:

• The customer pushes the pendant or emergency fall button
• Info is transferred to the emergency call centre
• An operator will set up 2-way communication to see if assistance is required
• Depending on the concern, an agent will get in touch with a member of the family, caregiver, or emergency medical services
