What Is a Medical Alert System?

A medical alert system (also known as a personal emergency response system) allows you to quickly call for help in the event of a fall, medical emergency or other non-life-threatening incident.

Many systems connect you to trained operators who can dispatch emergency services or notify a designated contact.

Frequently asked questions

What is a personal alarm?

A personal alarm is a small wearable device (usually a pendant or wristband) that lets you call for help in an emergency, such as a fall or medical issue. It connects you to a 24/7 monitoring centre or a chosen contact.

Are fall alarms and medical alarms the same thing?

Yes – in most cases, they refer to the same type of device. Some people search for "fall alarms," while others use terms like "medical alert" or "personal alarm." They all serve the same purpose: getting help quickly when it's needed.

How does the alarm work?

If the user falls or feels unwell, they can press the button on their device to raise an alert. Some alarms come with automatic fall detection, which triggers an alert even if the button isn’t pressed.

Who responds when the alarm is triggered?

That depends on the service. Most alarms connect to a 24/7 monitoring centre staffed by trained professionals. Others may call a designated family member or carer.

Do I need Wi-Fi or a landline?

Some alarms work via a landline, while others use a built-in SIM card and mobile network.

Can the alarm be used outside the home?

Yes – many alarms include GPS tracking and mobile connectivity, so you can get help even when you're out and about.

Is it difficult to set up?

Not at all. Most personal alarms are plug-and-play and come ready to use. Providers also offer support if you need help with installation.
