As men age, their chances of experiencing an accidental fall or medical emergency in their homes increase. Studies show that 80% of adults aged 65 and older are diagnosed with at least one significant medical condition, and 68% are diagnosed with two or more. Many families face challenging choices when it comes to helping a loved one live independently and age in place.

Medical alert systems are specifically designed to help seniors bridge the gap between potential emergencies and access to their personal support system and professional response teams. These systems can be as simple as a handheld device that detects a fall or alerts a monitoring service with a touch of a button or a system that integrates devices and services through several points of contact for a full spectrum of safety and security.
