Some medical alert systems include fall detection technology. This addition means you don\u2019t necessarily have to call for help if you have fallen; the device is designed to be intuitive and contact you if it thinks you might have fallen.

No matter if you fall due to a slip on ice outside or due to a stroke, the operators are alerted to the situation automatically and reach out to you. If you are unable to answer, they will send emergency personnel to your location, which they are able to track thanks to GPS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFamily Communication Features<\/b><\/h2>\n
