Do medical alert devices work?
Yes, they do, because they get you the help you need quickly, and at the touch of a button. Wearing the alarm means it is always with you, unlike a mobile phone which is often left on a table or a kitchen unit.
When you fall ill or have a fall, minutes matter. The faster you can get medical assistance the better. If you are treated quickly for an illness such as a heart attack or a stroke you have a better chance of survival.
After a fall, you might also suffer from hypothermia from a cold floor, or dehydration if you’re left immobile for hours.
Wearing a medical alert system also means you don’t have to worry about having your mobile phone close to hand. You wear the alarm so pressing the SOS button is easy to do.
Our alarms are comfortable to wear. They are lightweight and discreet. You can even wear them in the bath or shower.
