Medical alert systems were introduced in the 1970s as simple push-button devices worn around the neck. Once activated they summoned help by signaling a base station connected to a home phone line that would alert a call-center operator. Today is much different than the 70’s, now systems are still wearable, but now you can also mount help buttons throughout the home that allows for two-way voice communications with call centers without a phone line. Some of our medical alert systems even offer motion sensitive pendants that can detect a fall and place a call for help without ever having to press a button or make a phone call. Now there’s no need to worry about your parents once they get older or if your child has a medical condition because SecureOne is there for you.
