With a personal medical alarm system one doesn’t have to fear being caught in a medical emergency when home alone. A personal medical alarm system is particularly helpful to senior citizens. Whenever help is needed, all you have to do is press the help button. This unit is worn around the neck or the wrist. The moment the help button is activated, it automatically dials the response centre. The response centre then calls the victim immediately. They are aware of the caller’s profile and critical information and ask what the nature of the call is.
The basic unit works the same way a telephone works with two-way communication. These units feature 15-hour battery backup in the event of a power cut. The personal help button can be worn like a piece of jewelry or a modern looking watch. It weighs less than an ounce and is waterproof with a long-range operation and a five-year battery life.
