The Medical Alert System is defined as a personal response system that gives the individual a quick response in life threatening event. The system should be small, lightweight and a waterproof device that can be activated by pushing a small button, either on a bracelet or necklace. Medical Alert System makes use of the latest technology available on the market today. The system can be used by those who live alone or even those that are living assisted living facilities. Each system has an automatic voice to voice calling, remote call answering, with adjustable volume controls. These systems have monthly test call reminders available. Medical Alert Systems come in many varieties. Picking the one that is just right for you and your situation is critical. Many questions need to be answered before you make the right decision on which system is for you. -The number one question is how easy is it for you to use? -Does the system you are looking at have a button or pendant that is easy for you carry on your person? -Is it capable of two way communication with your provider? -Is the range of coverage adequate for your situation? -Do they provide 24/7 coverage? -Do they respond the EMS? -Are friends or relatives able to contacted through the device? -Is there a backup system in the event of a power failure? -Do they speak your language if you arent fluent in English? Next thing to think about is the actual system you have decided to acquire. Do they have a monthly contract rather signing up for a long term contract. Doing the contract monthly is more advantageous to you, as you can cancel the system at anytime without a penalty. Also is there no set-up or activation fee. In an emergency, when you press the button do you get quick response with the voice of professional health care provider? This is the most important item that needs to be addressed. Medical Alert button comes is 3 different types. There is one that can be worn as a bracelet, one that is worn about the neck or can be clipped to your belt. All types are waterproof so they can be worn in the bath or shower, so if you fall you have the ability to call for help. All call go the emergency response center, which should be the system provider not a third party. They should be set up to provide the proper response, being either EMS or to call a family/friend if that is what is needed, or both. Having a family member with a Medical Alert System is a great comfort for the family and friends. This also gives the person their independence but with the comfort of knowing that help is available at the push of a button. When everything is up and running as it should you will wonder how you ever did without this system. About the Author:
