Emergency Medical & Locating
Emergency Medical Alert devices notify first responders whenever a user needs immediate attention. These devices include fall detectors with medical alert buttons connected to an emergency response system, serving as lifesavers for at-risk older adults and the disabled. Locating Devices are GPS trackers specifically designed for locating older adults who may wander due to Alzheimer's or dementia and emphasize functions that enhance safety, including emergency buttons that alert caregivers, services that contact emergency responders, and tools to monitor health metrics.
