In-Home Medical Alert Or SOS Mobile GPS Medical Alert: Which Is Best?

With all the different types of medical life alert systems on the market, how do you know which one is best for your needs?  This information can help you decide between the different types of in-home and GPS medical alert systems and choose the system that works best for you, your family, and your budget.

How a Home-based Medical Alert System Works

Home medical alert systems are cost-effective safety solutions for people who are homebound or who rarely travel. Bay Alarm Medical offers both a landline and cell-based medical alert for home use. Both are easy-to-use with sleek, attractive designs.

Calling for help is easy:

• Press the button on your necklace or wristband.
• A trained operator answers in the language you prefer, talks with you about your situation, and can dispatch first responders and/or call a family member for you.

Optional automatic fall detection adds another layer of protection. If the system detects a fall, it notifies operators if you’re unconscious or unable to speak. Don’t worry about numerous false alarms: the system only activates if it senses a sudden downward movement and then no movement.  You won’t trigger it during normal daily activities.

How a Mobile GPS Medical Alert System Works

A mobile medical alert system offers more flexibility for people on-the-go.  They use cellular connections and GPS to identify your position. In case of an emergency, the operator can provide your exact location to first responders.

Bay Alarm Medical offers three types of mobile medical alerts with GPS. All operate through 4G LTE connections, with cellular service included in your monthly fee.

• Mobile help button: Our SOS Mobile GPS offers help 24/7 when you’re away from home. Just push the button and talk with our operators. It’s water-resistant and easy to use. It also includes access to our caregiver tracking app feature.
• Smartwatch: With our SOS Smartwatch, safety is as easy as wearing a wristwatch or fitness tracker. There’s no smartphone required; just touch the dedicated SOS button and talk with our operators. It also includes a step counter and settings to help you set fitness goals and track your progress.

Our Caregiver Tracking  portal (included with the SOS Mobile GPS and SOS All-in-One Device) allows you to check the location of your loved one in real time via the app. The app is available with the SOS Mobile help button at no additional charge. The portal works on your computer, tablet, or smartphone within the Bay Alarm Medical App (Available for iTunes & Google Play).
