Research shows that getting prompt attention to an emergency
situation can make a big difference to surviving an emergency but also to continuing
to live independently after such a situation. The New England Journal of
Medicine has noted that if you or a loved one incurs an emergency and becomes
incapacitated preventing help from arriving when needed; it usually marks the
end of independent living. (New England
Journal of Medicine) Therefore, Personal
Emergency Response Systems (“PERS”) are one of the most important technologies to
enable and support an aging population to live independently.
LogicMark LLC is a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative
personal emergency response systems (PERS) which offers unique two-way voice
communication directly through the pendant which means that help is “a push of
a button away” LogicMark was founded in
2006, and received an esteemed INC Magazine 500/5000 award in 2011 for being
one of the fastest growing companies in the US.
LogicMark was the first to introduce a no-subscription PERS and they
offer 2 such devices:
LogicMark’s GuardianAlert 911 directly calls 911. The user can talk
directly through the pendant to a 911 emergency operator at the push of a
button.
The system can operate anywhere in or around the home with the base
station plugged into a phone jack in the centre of the house. The pendant runs
on a AAA battery and lasts up to a year. The pendant is splash resistant so it
can be taken into a shower.
No monitoring fees, service charges or contracts. The system uses
your home phone line but the pendant is wearable so you don’t need to use your
regular telephone when an emergency arises. The pendant range is up to 600 feet
and will cover large homes and a short distance outside of your home.
Logic Mark’s FreedomAlert offers direct 911 calling and up to 4
custom contacts that can be direct dialed, so it is a personal link to family,
friends or emergency services when needed. You can even use this PERS when
travelling by unplugging it from your phone jack with the adaptor and pack it
in your suitcase. It can be plugged into the local phone jack and power outlet
at your destination with no programming required. As an added convenience, wireless
water-resistant wall units can be mounted to a wall in areas around the home
that allow for permanent 2-way communication in cases of emergency.
No monitoring fees, service charges or contracts.
LogicMark also carries a conventionally monitored PERS that is
connected to a central station. There are monthly fees associated with this
LifeSentry product as they provide fullsupport services The LifeSentry products also offers up to a
total of 4 pendants & emergency wall communicators that can be connected to
a single base station. This is ideal for
a small facility.
I personally felt the benefit of Personal emergency response system when my grandmother fell down when she was alone in home. It is an effective device to bring help from the right person at the right time. Thanks for sharing this nice post on the same.
