Medical
Alarms
are two-way voice systems that provide convenience and security
to elderly or disabled people living alone. When a user experiences
a medical emergency in or around the house and cannot reach a
phone, he or she has only to press a small waterproof button on
a neck pendant or wristband and the medical alert monitoring company
operator responds to the call.
This puts
the user in direct voice contact with an operator using a speaker/microphone
built into the alarm panel which can be heard from anywhere in
the home. If the victim has fallen and cannot get up, for example,
the operator immediately dispatches local medical personnel to
the home, all the while reassuring the victim that help is on
the way by maintaining voice dialogue through the alarm panel.
