The Evolution Of Medical Alert System Technology 
Within the last decade, medical emergency response systems have seen some 
impressive advancements, both in terms of technology and in safety measures 
that have made seniors feel safer than ever before. One of the earliest and 
most important advancements has been the introduction of mobile medical 
alert 
systems. These systems allow users the freedom to leave their homes and 
live their normal lives, while still having the peace of mind that emergency 
help is available in case of an emergency. Several devices, such as the Medical 
Guardian Mobile 2.0, allow users to set up a network of emergency contacts 
who can also view their whereabouts and be notified in case of an emergency.
Recent advancements in medical alert technology also include a built-in fall 
detection feature. With this feature, special sensors in your medical alert 
pendant automatically detect when a fall occurs and send an alert to your 
monitoring call center. With new GPS and cellular technology
, the operator 
can then determine where you fell, regardless of whether you can 
communicate your whereabouts or know the address. This technology allows 
the operators to then send emergency medical assistance to you more quickly, 
thus providing a great sense of security for yourself and your loved ones. 
Hearing Aids Improve Quality Of Life 
The use of hearing aids allows 
people to maintain a happy, healthy life by 
reducing the strain caused by reduced hearing ability. According to a study 
facilitated by the Better Hearing Institute, eight out of 10 hearing aid users 
report being satisfied with the changes that their hearing aids have made in 
their lives. Hearing aids allow users to engage in common daily activities that 
would otherwise be far more difficult – or even impossible– such as talking, 
watching TV and listening to music. Hearing aids can also help you have a 
better quality of life by assisting you in:

Identifying speech and language in voices

Being alert to what’s happening around you 

Avoiding the need for assistance from others at all times 

Having a sense of control over your life
