Parkinson’s disease affects more than movement. It changes how a person speaks, how steady they feel on their feet, and how confident they are leaving home. In the early stages, symptoms may be mild, a small tremor or slower movement but even then, the right support matters. As the disease progresses, challenges like balance problems, slurred speech, or sudden drops in stability can turn routine moments into medical emergencies.

LifeStation builds medical alert systems with these realities in mind. Sidekick Home gives older adults and those with advanced Parkinson’s reliable in-home safety with extra loud speaker and sensitive microphone for clear communication. Sidekick offers portability for people living with Parkinson’s who still run errands or attend activities. Sidekick Smart adds location tracking, step counter, and cellular network coverage for younger onset Parkinson’s disease patients or anyone wanting greater confidence on the go.

Each device connects to our 24/7 US-based monitoring service, where trained operators recognize the unique risks Parkinson’s presents. Whether assisting during a fall, calling emergency services after a help button press, or providing peace to a family member during a flare of symptoms, LifeStation supports safety, independence, and quality of life.

Why LifeStation?

Committment to care, innovation, and reliability

Location Targeting
Faster, more reliable positioning

LifeStation designs medical alert systems for Parkinson’s disease with the understanding that no two patients experience the condition in the same way. Some have recently been diagnosed and are still in the early stages, wanting reassurance while living independently. Others have seen the disease progress and need dependable medical alert equipment to maintain safety and communication.

Our monitoring service operates from US-based centers, staffed 24/7 by certified specialists. These professionals are trained to recognise slurred speech, pauses in communication, and other symptoms that may occur during a medical emergency. When the help button is pressed, they connect directly to emergency services and relay essential information quickly.

The Sidekick Home suits older adults or those who spend more time in one place, offering in-home coverage through AT&T. Sidekick provides freedom for people living with Parkinson’s who still enjoy activities outside the home. Sidekick Smart combines location tracking, a step counter, and cellular network connectivity, making it ideal for young onset Parkinson’s disease patients or anyone who wants greater confidence when moving through busy environments.

With options designed for different lifestyles, our systems provide safety, support, and peace without locking patients into long term contracts. Caregivers and loved ones gain reassurance, and patients gain a tool that fits seamlessly into daily life.

Fall Detection
Protection when you can't press the button

Falls are a serious risk for people living with Parkinson’s disease. Tremors, slowed movement, and changes in balance can happen at any stage. A sudden drop in stability from muscle rigidity or environmental factors such as uneven ground can make recovery difficult without assistance.

LifeStation offers automatic fall detection as an optional feature for Sidekick and Sidekick Smart devices. This technology uses advanced sensors to recognise the difference between regular movement and a fall. When activated, it sends a medical alert to our monitoring service without needing to press the help button. Operators then contact emergency responders and provide them with essential details to assist quickly.

Fall detection gives added safety for patients who experience frequent balance issues, as well as those in later stages of the disease who may be unable to call for help after a fall. Active patients in the early stages often add it for extra peace when walking, exercising, or navigating busy public areas. Whether at home or outside, it works alongside other devices like a cell phone or mobility aids to support independence and safety.

Find my Loved One
Alert System with Location Tracking

Parkinson’s disease affects everyone differently, and changes in movement, speech, or thinking can happen at unexpected times. A patient might be out for a short walk and experience a sudden drop in stability, or an episode of slurred speech that makes it harder to call home. Family members often want a way to check in quickly without interrupting daily activities.

Find My Loved One works through a secure app with the Sidekick and Sidekick Smart devices. A caregiver can send a simple request and receive the patient’s location in seconds through GPS and cellular network technology. This allows fast medical alerts and contact with emergency services when needed.

For young onset Parkinson’s disease patients who stay active in the community, this feature supports independence while keeping communication open. For older adults or those with cognitive impairment, it offers reassurance that loved ones can assist promptly if movement, balance, or speech changes suddenly. By connecting the alert system to real-time location tracking, it gives both the patient and their caregivers greater confidence each day.

When Every Second Counts
How Medical Alert Systems Work

In a medical emergency, Parkinson’s disease can present unique challenges. Tremors may make it harder to press a help button quickly. Slurred speech can slow communication. Cognitive impairment may affect how details are shared. These moments require a monitoring service that understands the disease and responds with the right support immediately.

LifeStation’s US-based monitoring centers in New Jersey and Texas operate 24/7, staffed by certified care specialists. They are trained to recognise speech difficulties, pauses, or changes in tone, and to gather essential details even when a patient is unable to speak clearly. If the patient cannot communicate at all, operators use stored medical information, location tracking, and caregiver contacts to dispatch emergency responders without delay.

Some people living with Parkinson’s rely on Sidekick Home for in-home coverage. Others prefer the portability of Sidekick or Sidekick Smart, both of which connect through a secure cellular network for communication anywhere in range. In every case, the focus is the same — to provide rapid access to emergency services, keep loved ones informed, and maintain safety for the patient in any environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a medical alert device be worn with mobility aids or braces?

Yes. Each LifeStation medical alert device is lightweight and designed to be worn with canes, walkers, wrist braces, or other mobility aids without affecting comfort or function.

How does the medical alert device help during cognitive impairment?

When cognitive impairment affects communication, the device still connects the patient to our monitoring service. Operators use stored medical information and location tracking to alert emergency services and contact caregivers quickly.

Are LifeStation operators trained to recognize Parkinson’s-specific speech changes?

Yes. Our monitoring service trains specialists to recognise slurred speech, hesitations, or changes in tone, ensuring emergency services receive accurate information.

Will using a medical alert device improve peace of mind for both patients and caregivers?

Yes. Many patients say that having a LifeStation device gives them peace of mind, knowing help is available anywhere in range. Caregivers report greater confidence in allowing loved ones to maintain independence.

How does LifeStation compare to other companies offering Parkinson’s safety equipment?

LifeStation focuses on tailored features for Parkinson’s, such as fall detection, location tracking, and trained operators. This patient-specific approach sets us apart from companies offering only generic solutions.

Is there research supporting the use of medical alert devices for people with Parkinson’s?

Research from multiple Parkinson’s organizations highlights the value of quick access to emergency services in reducing hospital stays and preventing serious complications.

Does the device include features that help manage non-motor symptoms like depression?

While our devices do not treat depression directly, they can help reduce feelings of isolation by maintaining contact with caregivers and loved ones, and providing quick access to assistance when needed.

How do LifeStation devices really support a Parkinson’s patient during an emergency?

Someone with Parkinson’s disease may find themselves reluctant to overly depend on caregivers or even have the confidence to step outside their own home. Our medical alert systems paired with our monitoring centers give individuals another shot at reclaiming an important part of their life. Although our systems do not prevent incidents, they do make sure that emergency support is there as quickly as possible.
