Service Offers GPS Powered "Help Me" Button for Seniors On The Go

Filed under: Geriatrics


Medical Mobile Monitoring out of Boca Raton, FL has released a new platform for assisting seniors get emergency help from just about anywhere in the country. The system revolves around a GPS enabled device that can send the location of the person anytime the help button is pressed. The firm is also planning to unveil an additional service that would allow family members keep track of the location of their loved ones.

When subscribers need help, they simply press their help button and are connected via two-way voice to a central monitoring station that is live 24/7/365. By year's end, the new technology will also allow family members to see the location of their loved ones over the Web and be notified via mobile phone and email.

The patent-pending technology has taken nearly four years to develop and gives peace-of-mind to family members and caregivers. The product is beneficial for those who desire to live independently and need access to emergency assistance at the touch of a button, no matter their location.

Medical Mobile Monitoring offers its product through a subscription-based service that requires a small monthly monitoring fee. Cost for the service and unit are comparable to the older products that are currently on the market.
