subject: Medical Alarm Systems And The Disabled [print this page] Finding an assisted living device that can also function as a personal alert system can be a bit tricky. Many of the devices on the market have limitations that may make them less than ideal for individuals who are disabled. For example, it is common for a device to signal an operator, yet not enable the user to talk directly through the pendant itself.
Those living with disabilities clearly can have different needs than those who are not disabled. The developers behind MediPendant took disabled individuals into consideration when they developed the clever and very functional MediPendant. The charm of the MediPendant is that it performs a technical feat that would have seemed a bit impossible only a few years ago. Any individual who is wearing the MediPendant medical alert system can activate the system with a simple push of a button. Now while that fact alone may not seem very remarkable, what happens after that personal help button is pushed is essential for a variety of applications. Once the system is activated, the MediPendant immediately and instantly connects the user with a live operator. Moreover, this live operator is an EMT-certified operator who can instantly send medical help or other assistance like calling emergency contacts if medical help isn't necessary.
In the case of someone who is disabled, this sort of immediate assistance can be of massive benefit and can potentially avert a catastrophic situation. Further, the user of the MediPendant can speak and listen directly into the pendant itself. This means that he or she doesnt have to move to base station to have a conversation with an operator. This additional functionality is essential for disabled individuals who might have challenges transporting themselves from one area of the home to another.
Clearly, the MediPendants unprecedented level of functionality is a most welcome development for anyone in need of a medical alarm or personal emergency response system. The system has an impressive range of up to 600 feet, meaning that it will be extremely effective in virtually any home. Further, the MediPendant medical alert system is small enough that it can be clipped on a belt, worn around ones neck or even put on a wrist. In fact, the device is water-resistant, meaning that it can even be worn in the shower or bath.
There is no doubt that what MediPendant can offer makes it a breakthrough product in the field of emergency alert systems. The fact that a trained emt operator is only a button push away 24 hours a day and 365 days a year is enough to make one feel as though they are finally living in the future.
