subject: Emergency Medical Alert Devices. [print this page] An emergency medical alert is a security device that is designed specifically for the senior peoples. It is also commonly referred to as a safety device.
An emergency medical alert device is usually wireless and small - a modern-age medical alarm is small enough to be worn as a necklace, pendant, watch, on a key chain, or as a medical alert bracelet. Most of these devices, such as a medical alert necklace, are waterproof as well, ensuring the person wearing it won't unintentionally cause damage.
This elderly aging devices are electronic devices worn on your body to alert your family, friends and doctor if it some happens that a medical emergency arises. They are generally worn by the elderly, but are also important for people suffering with serious problems like asthma, allergies, cardiovascular problems, fainting and many other serious medical conditions.
The concept is very straightforward. All unit transmitters, detectors and sensors work in a similar way. They transmit an emergency signal back to the home base unit the moment they are triggered by some sort of action.
Panic Button - If a person physically presses the panic button, this triggers that unit transmitter sends an emergency signal back to the main unit.
Fall Detector - If the person falls to the ground, the fall detector they are wearing is displaced more than 60 degrees from the vertical position. This displacement triggers the fall detector and sends an emergency signal back to the main unit.
A medi alert establishes communication directly through the main unit that acts as both a loudspeaker and a microphone. If the injured person is in another room or far from the main unit, all they have to do is speak out loudly in order to be heard.
Stand-Alone - Stand-alone systems dial out a set of emergency telephone numbers that have been reselected by the system owner. Friends, family, or even emergency services can speak directly to the person who needs assistance.
Centrally Monitored - Emergency medical alert systems that are monitored by a central calling station establish a two-way voice communication over the main unit. This allows the operator to speak directly to the person in trouble, assess the situation, and dispatch the proper help.
