Medical alert systems come in the form of electronic necklaces and bracelets to help detect falls. You are connected to an emergency responder in the event of a fall or other accident where you require help. An active device requires you to call for help by pressing a button. Passive devices monitor lack of movement to determine an emergency situation. Here are the top ten medical alert systems according to The Consumer’s Advocate:
- Medical Guardian
- Bay Alarm Medical

- Life Station
- Medical Alert
- Phillips Lifeline
- Great Call Lively Mobile
- Get Safe
