A panic pendant is a portable, battery-operated medical device that can be worn as a necklace or watch, clipped to your belt, or carried in your pocket to help you protect yourself by contacting emergency services when in need. It functions as a panic button so senior citizens and people with disabilities can call for help during emergencies.

Medical alert systems have always been associated with helping seniors to live more independently. Whether they have health issues or experience slip or fall incidents, these systems can help seniors to request assistance at the touch of a button. When it comes to seniors with pacemakers, medical alert systems can be a game changer.

As people age, they may require a little bit more help with their day-to-day activities as well as some assistance in the event of medical emergencies, slip-and-fall accidents or unsafe situations in and around their homes. That’s where medical alert systems come in.

A medical alert system, which can help people to easily obtain help in the event of a medical emergency, includes a small device that can be worn around the neck for easy access. If there is some sort of medical problem, the wearer can press a button, which will notify a third-party control centre of the need to take action.

If you have elderly parents who, while still able to live somewhat independently, may have medical conditions that require extra vigilance, then a medical alert system might be what is needed. With this option, they will merely have to press a button if they ever experience a medical emergency -- and help will be dispatched posthaste.
