24/7 monitored medical alert systems

Overview

Medical Guardian provides connected care for seniors by selling medical alert systems with ongoing monitoring services.

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.
