Medical Alarms Can Save Your Life

Medical alarms have spread in the past decade around the whole world. As the demographic pyramid inverts and the elderly become a more and more significant part of the population in Western developed countries, and as longevity gains ground as a factor in our social equation, medical alarms conceived for this sector of people have been sold by millions. The image of an elderly man or woman wearing a more or less concealed panic button device has become familiar to us all. If they fall or feel suddenly sick, they just need to ring the bell and help will come.

Now, the theory is simple but making a truly functional alarm is a much complicated story. Who needs to be alerted? What information needs to be transmitted instantly to the alert unit? Will the medical alarm user be traced to the very location where he or she is, by means of GPS technology, or will the alarm just work at home?

Medical alarms can be sophisticated to enormous complexity, or they can be kept simple. Some alarms can even produce an injection into the patient's body at crisis moments, thus allowing him or her to have immediate access to the needed medicine. Others may be perimeter alert devices telling the carers if an amnesic or self-injuring patient has left a certain area. Children, mental patients and severe chronic patients may all benefit from various types of medical alarm devices, which are no longer reserved to senior citizens.

The Medical Alarm Site provides independent and up-to-date information on medical alarm systems and devices, and thus helps the public at large to see if they need an alarm for themselves or a relative, and if so, which kind.
