How LifeStation Medical Alert Devices Work

  • Send an alert: Press the help button. On a compatible device or plan, automatic fall detection may also send an alert when a fall is detected.
  • Connect with a Care Specialist: The system connects to LifeStation’s 24/7 U.S.-based monitoring center for two-way communication.
  • Get the appropriate help: A Care Specialist follows the user’s personalized response plan and can contact family, caregivers, emergency contacts, or local emergency services based on the situation.

How to Choose the Right Medical Alert Device

  • Start with location: An in-home medical alert system fits a home-centered routine. A mobile GPS device or smartwatch is designed for protection in and away from home.
  • Choose a wearable format: Compare a pendant, wrist button, compact mobile unit, or smartwatch based on what the user will wear or carry consistently.
  • Consider fall detection: Fall detection may provide an added way to send an alert when the user cannot press the button. Availability varies, and no system detects every fall.
  • Check cellular coverage: LifeStation offers mobile medical alert coverage through AT&T and Verizon. Confirm which network provides coverage where the device will be used most often.
  • Review charging needs: Compare current battery and charging information on each product page with the user’s daily routine.

¿Por qué elegir LifeStation?

  • In-home, mobile GPS, and smartwatch options for different routines and wearing preferences
  • Trained Care Specialists who can follow a personalized emergency response plan
  • A 30-day money-back guarantee; confirm current terms for the selected product

Medical Alert Device FAQs

Medical Alert Device FAQs

Medical Alert Device FAQs

Medical Alert Device FAQs

What is a medical alert device?

A medical alert device is the help button, mobile unit, pendant, wrist button, or smartwatch a person wears or carries. The complete medical alert system, sometimes called a personal emergency response system, also includes the connection and monitoring service that responds when an alert is sent.

Which medical alert device is best for seniors?

The right device depends on the person’s routine and wearing preference. An in-home system may suit someone who is usually at home. A mobile GPS device or medical alert smartwatch may fit someone who regularly leaves home.

Do LifeStation medical alert devices require a landline or Wi-Fi?

The cellular version of Sidekick Home does not require a landline or Wi-Fi. Pearl and Sidekick Smart use cellular service for mobile protection and location features. Compatible cellular coverage is required.

Can a medical alert device work away from home?

Yes, when the device is designed for mobile use. Pearl and Sidekick Smart use cellular service and location technology for use at home and on the go. Service depends on compatible cellular coverage.

Do LifeStation medical alert devices offer fall detection?

Fall detection is available with LifeStation device options, but availability and plan inclusion should be confirmed for the selected device. Fall detection does not detect 100% of falls. Users should press the help button whenever they are able.

Disclaimer

Fall detection does not detect 100% of falls. If able, users should always press their help button when they need help.
