Hi, Admiral Wray here, talking mobile medical alerts. About 3.4 million Americans have a medical alert—that’s about 1 in 12 seniors. You’ve seen the commercials for the button to press when you need help after falling down. Increasingly, medical alerts are mobile—you can use them when you leave the house. They’re like a little cell phone. You’ve seen the GM product called OnStar—these little mobile medical alerts are like OnStar for a human. You can get them with fall detection, with mobile apps to allow the family to locate the user—lots of different bells and whistles. My advice, if your mom or dad travels outside the home by themselves, then try a mobile alert. If they don’t leave the home unaccompanied, then don’t get a mobile alert—get the in-home alert instead. They’re lighter, easier to wear, and less expensive. For a list of a few of the many mobile alerts on the market visit: https://www.solutions4seniors.net/mobile-medical-alert-systems
