The product has built in GPS, panic button, phone book, and can be triggered automatically by the wearer or call centre to activate two way voice communication.

Panic Alarms are useful for many many reasons, but most people do not realize that it can also be used as a medical alert device. Many modern Security Alarm companies offer Panic Alarms to help people if they are being robbed, but the usefulness in a medical emergency cannot be understated. Pressing the Panic Alarm button will get assistance to your home as quickly as possible, possibly saving your life.

Panic Alarms are usually concealed buttons, placed in strategic areas of your home to help you in case of an emergency, usually a burglary. Although Panic Alarms should not be your first line of defense against medical emergencies, they can offer a sense of security in knowing that if you for-ego the traditional medical alert device that help is just a press of a button away.

The drawback to relying on a Panic Alarm instead of the traditional medical alert device is that you need to be in close proximity to the panic alarm when the medical emergency occurs and this of course isn’t always possible. That said, it is useful to know that if you do not use medical alert device in your daily life, but become injured due to being assaulted during a burglary, for example, the panic button will both help get security personnel to your home who can help chase away the burglar, as well as get you medical assistance and therefore saving your life.
