We're going to keep this pretty simple. Personal emergency response systems or "PERS" which
are often referred to as a medical alert system are small electronic devices that allow individuals the ability to
summon help during an emergency. While these devices are usually
associated with a persons medical needs, they can also be used for fire
and police emergencies. Help is typically summoned with the use of a
small emergency pendant, which when activated sends a signal to a
monitoring center that is professionally staffed 24 hours per day 7
days per week. Pendants may be worn around the neck on a lanyard,
around your wrist like a watch, on a belt clip or in your pocket.
Regardless of what method you prefer the important thing is that you
carry it.

These simple and easy to use systems
have proven to be extremely valuable by not only saving lives and money
but by ensuring the appropriate responders are sent in a timely manner
when called upon. Medical alert devices have been around for nearly
four decades and while they essentially perform the same task they did
back in the 70's, technology has come a long way. In future notes we
will explain the systems a little more in depth and answer questions
like "How do medical alert systems work?" and "What is a two way voice
pendant?"
