How Does a Medical Alert System Work

Fall Detection Technology

With Fall Detection technology, your Medical Alert pendant automatically senses a fall and contacts you through the two-way voice system so you can speak with an operator.† If you are unable to respond, we dispatch emergency services to your location. Using modern GPS technology, our operators can locate you wherever you are – coast to coast.
