In a perfect world, no one would ever have to face a life-threatening emergency. However, accidents do happen. In most catastrophic emergencies, the victims are not within reach of a phone, and become totally helpless. 

 

Here is how the Life Alert Medical Alert system works:

1. When you are at home and experience a medical emergency, just press your Life Alert Help Button, which is worn around your neck or wrist.
   
   
2. This immediately sends a signal to your Life Alert Master Unit (the communication box) that is installed in your home.
   
   
3. The Life Alert Master Unit then signals the Life Alert Monitoring Center.
   
   
4. In seconds, a Life Alert dispatcher will be talking with you from the Monitoring Center, to determine the best course of action. If help is needed, or if you cannot talk, the dispatcher will alert the authorities and the people on your contact list (family, friends, neighbors). The emergency help you need is sent fast. Life Alert professionals are available to help you 24/7.
