Who We Are

Since 2009 Medical Alert Advice has helped thousands of people make informed decisions for themselves and the ones they love by providing clear, accurate, and easy to read information about medical alert systems. Since we’ve been reviewing medical alert systems for so many years, we have the experience and knowledge that you can only gain over time. As we look back over our decade plus years, we’ve seen the medical alert industry evolve from simple push-button pendant systems that required a telephone landline, to the introduction of early fall detection systems, and finally to today’s GPS smart-watch based devices with telehealth technologies and GPS location services built right in.

During our first few years, we found that it would be difficult for the average person to get all the facts needed to make an informed decision on such an important service. There was really only one company back in 2009, LifeStation, that had pricing and online ordering right on their website. That meant that they had to have fixed pricing and had to provide quite a bit of transparency. That was refreshing since most other companies required you to call to get information and you had to know what to ask and what the correct answer would be in order know you were being told the truth. Knowing what to ask made all the difference and that’s what made Medical Alert Advice different than the few other sites you could have come across. You were almost always dealing with high-pressure commission-based sales people that only had one goal in mind – to sell you a medical alert system. Today, not only have the systems themselves evolved, but so has the sales process. Most companies now provide fixed pricing with online ordering. But with the complexity of today’s systems, it’s actually best to call to be sure you’re getting what you really need. Many phone reps are still commissioned based, but they typically provide good information and can many times give you extras like waive activation fees, provide free lock boxes, and free shipping.
