These Are the Best Medical Alert Systems on the Market

DES MOINES, Iowa, October 19, 2021 (Newswire.com) - There are many medical alert systems on the market, but how can consumers know which ones are the best for them and their loved ones? We've got the five best medical alert systems based on features and reviews. Health.com outlined the 13 best medical alert systems for 2021, so consumers can turn there for more information.

Medical Guardian

This medical alert system tops many lists of the best systems. Medical Guardian is an excellent choice because it doesn't require long-term contracts, and activation is free for all devices except the Freedom Guardian smartwatch. The company also offers multiple device options and a wide variety of premium features.

Many of Medical Guardian's devices offer features that go above and beyond the standards typically found in medical alert systems. Some systems feature activity and location tracking and online portal access. Some of Medical Guardian's mobile systems are more expensive than other options on the market, but at least buyers get extra features for the higher price.

Bay Alarm Medical

Bay Alarm Medical offers fast response times and low-cost plans with multiple device options. The company offers four different systems, including its On the Road device for accident and emergency monitoring. Bay Alarm Medical also offers geofencing, and its customer service receives high marks from customers.

On the other hand, the company's accessories are somewhat limited than those from other companies. Additionally, some plans can get expensive as more features are added to the basic packages.

MobileHelp

This company offers a free 30-day trial and multiple payment options, and the equipment and activation are usually free. Patients do not need a landline to use any of MobileHelp's devices, and there's no extra charge for a cellular connection. The company offers a Duo plan for couples and a variety of inexpensive in-home systems, jewelry-style pendants and other devices covering all lifestyles.

However, some customers will have to pay an activation fee, and fall detection isn't available on all of MobileHelp's devices.

Medical Alert

The setup process with Medical Alert is easy, and the company offers the best warranty of the bunch with no long-term contracts required. Medical Alert also offers multilingual response centers for those who don't speak much English. The company's plans offer constant emergency monitoring at a low cost.

On the other hand, Medical Alert doesn't offer a lot of extra features, and fall detection isn't included in the monthly cost for any of its devices.

GetSafe

GetSafe offers voice-activated monitoring and doesn't require that patients wear a device, which makes it unique. However, the company does offer a complimentary button and lanyard for those who feel more comfortable wearing a device. Fall detection is automatic, and self-installation is easy with no installation fees.

On the other hand, the company's larger packages are expensive to set up, and there's no coverage for patients when they're on the go.
