Redefining safety for seniors
Food, shelter and water have been the foundation for life since the time of man. In modern life, these truths still hold true. With the advent of science and technology, the basics for life now include health and safety.
Medical Alarm Systems
For the last 30 years many seniors have relied upon a small wireless button and a two-way voice box using a telephone line to summon help inside their homes. This technology is called a Medical Alert System or a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS). A very solid option for people who do not leave their home, the obvious limitation is the range of the help button.
Outside of their home, people have relied upon the kindness of strangers if they were alone, a partner if they were with someone else; or in the last decade a cellular phone. Though cellular phones are a very convenient technology, where they lose value and usefulness as a tool is in an emergency situation. Cell phones are not ideal in an emergency situation due to three limitations.
1. Phones are multi step processes, meaning you may have to turn the phone on, maybe flip it open, get it into call mode and dial 911.
2. 911 dispatchers do not know where you are located. Some 911 facilities are equipped to locate an individual using triangulation, where your cell phone signal is measured between 3 cell towers and they have an idea of where you are in a general area within a ¼ to 1 mile radius. In dense population areas there may be a lot of people or streets in that radius making it difficult if not impossible to find you. Also, they don’t know who they are looking for.
3. You have to be able to communicate who you are and what your problem is in-order to get the appropriate help. Many medical emergencies such as a heart attack or stroke, restricts your ability to speak. Not being able to communicate severely handicaps your ability to get the proper medical attention in a timely manner or even at all. As you know, the time between some of these medical emergencies and the time you receive help determines your likelihood of your recovery and quality of life after the emergency.
