No, a cell phone does not replace the need for a medical alert device. You or a loved one may not have access to a cell phone at all times, cell phone batteries can die, and cell phones can lose calls or reception depending on your location.
Even simply dialing 9-1-1 in an emergency can be difficult because it may require putting in a passcode or getting facial recognition to work. In a real emergency, those precious seconds matter.
We make connecting to our emergency monitoring center as easy as pressing a button on your wearable medical alert device. This button quickly connects to our monitoring center and works even if your cell phone doesn't have reception or battery life.
