Medical Guardian provides connected care for seniors by selling medical alert systems with ongoing monitoring services. Its products include in-home systems with a base station and wearable button, mobile GPS-enabled devices for use inside and outside the home, and the MGMove medical alert smartwatch. All systems connect to a 24/7 U.S.-based monitoring center that can dispatch help, with features like automatic fall detection so help can be summoned even if the user cannot press a button. The company emphasizes user-friendly, wearable designs to reduce stigma and encourage adoption, aiming to help older adults live independently and age in place. Compared with other providers, it offers a diverse range of devices (including a smartwatch) and a clear focus on ease of use and reliable emergency response within a subscription model.

Medical Guardian has launched Guardian Flex, a health and safety wearable for older adults. The device is 30% smaller than the company's previous wearable and features nationwide 4G LTE connectivity, GPS location tracking, and 24/7 emergency monitoring. The Philadelphia-based company developed Guardian Flex based on research involving more than 10,000 members, caregivers, and prospective buyers. The study found that nearly three-quarters of respondents live alone, whilst over half reported experiencing a fall within the previous year. Guardian Flex offers interchangeable wrist, pendant, and belt clip accessories, advanced fall detection technology, and up to five days of battery life. The device includes a mobile app providing battery status and daily activity information. Medical Guardian serves more than 630,000 members nationwide.
MobileHelp has launched its Elite model, a mobile personal emergency response system designed for seniors, priced from $37.95 per month. The device marks the first product release since Medical Guardian acquired MobileHelp in 2024. The Elite features one-touch emergency calling, advanced fall detection using machine learning, two-way HD communication, and GPS and Wi-Fi location tracking. Weighing 1.5 ounces, the waterproof device is available in white, silver and black, with extended battery life for all-day wear. The launch accompanies a broader brand refresh, including a redesigned website and updated brand identity. Medical Guardian, which serves over 630,000 ageing adults, acquired MobileHelp to expand its digital health and safety solutions portfolio. The Elite is available now at www.mobilehelp.com.
