The new Mini Guardian<\/a>, Medical Guardian\u2019s latest device, is a perfect example of medical alert technology that is effective without being bulky or too noticeable.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Medical Guardian team also knows the importance of messaging and marketing as they work to reverse negative stereotypes and show older adults the benefits of medical alert technology. “Here at Medical Guardian, we make sure we emphasize that a medical alert system actually enhances the independence of the person using it,” says Leighton.<\/span><\/p>\nThe right medical alert system technology can bring safety and quality of life to active and homebody seniors, giving them peace of mind no matter where they are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nConsiderations for Medical Alert System Technology<\/b><\/h2>\n
As companies like Medical Guardian look to the future and begin to develop products for tomorrow\u2019s generation, they need to take a few things into consideration. The first is the increased health and activity of seniors. The Boomer generation is proving to the country that aging doesn\u2019t have to slow a person down. Instead, Boomers are working, volunteering, hiking, biking, and swimming their way through retirement.<\/span><\/p>\nMedical alert system designers are noticing this difference and changing products to match those lifestyle choices. Longer battery life means older adults don\u2019t have to feel tied to a charger. GPS and WiFi connection means seniors can get assistance no matter if they are at home or at the gym. Fall detection technology ensures a proactive approach if the older adult is unable to call for help on their own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nLonger battery life means seniors can be more active.

The Medical Guardian products, for example, include the opportunity for seniors to designate people who can access their daily information. These caregivers can see if there was a fall or call for help via an app or on their desktop. This enhanced communication can help family members advocate for their loved ones from miles away.<\/span><\/p>\nMost importantly, medical alert system technology needs to be affordable. With many seniors living on a fixed budget, costs for any device must not be prohibitive. At Medical Guardian, the team focuses on creating new ways to make devices and technology affordable so that every senior can enjoy the protection and peace of mind medical alert systems offer.<\/span><\/p>\nMedical alert technology is adapting and changing as they get to know this next generation of seniors.
