Atronic Alarms, Inc. sells a new medical alert pendant that features a 2-way voice system to allow clients to communicate directly with the people at the central monitoring station. For example, if an elderly women fell down or had a life-threatening emergency, she could push the button and talk to a "live" person who would then dispatch the proper authorities.
It is important to know that as the oldest baby boomers become senior citizens in 2011, the percentage of people 65 and older is projected to grow faster than any other age group.
The New England Journal of Medicine says that after a fall or other emergency, 90% of people who get help within one hour will continue independent living, but after 12 hours without help only 10% of people will continue to live at home.
