How much does a medical alert system cost in Canada?+
Costs vary by provider, equipment and features. Compare monthly monitoring, equipment charges, activation fees and optional services before choosing a system.
Do medical alert systems work without a landline?+
Many current systems use cellular LTE connections and do not require a traditional home phone line. Availability varies by provider and device.
What is automatic fall detection?+
Fall detection uses sensors designed to identify certain falls and automatically trigger an alert. No fall detection technology can detect every fall, so users should press their help button whenever possible.

Home systems can suit people who spend most of their time at home, while mobile GPS systems are designed for users who want coverage when away from home.
