MobileHelp today announced the introduction of their new SOLO system, a mobile, Personal Emergency Response System (M-PERS). Operating on AT&T’s nationwide cellular network and enabled with GPS location technology, SOLO is redefining the caregiving and medical alarm industry. SOLO provides the flexibility of a wireless device with the convenience and capability of a PERS system.
For millions of consumers who use Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone lines or cellular service, emergency calls may not be as dependable as dialing 911 on a landline. Unlike traditional medical alarm systems, SOLO does not require a phone line. A single press of the button immediately connects users directly to a 24-hour staffed emergency call center where an operator will have instant access to the user’s location, medical history and emergency contacts.
The SOLO system includes a wireless device, a portable charging cradle, and choice of a waterproof neck pendant or wrist button which may be worn at all times. Also incorporated in the system is MobileHelp’s exclusive Caregiver Tools. These online tracking tools enable caregivers to locate the user anytime online or through their smartphone.
