How does it work?

At the touch of a button, a distress call is generated through the console unit and sent to the 24/7 emergency response center (ERC). Specially trained operators can access a subscriber’s relevant information and communicate with them directly through the console to best determine a course of action. Additionally, a built-in automatic detector, available on select models, is able to sense when a subscriber has fallen and triggers a prompt call to the ERC.
