For good fall safety, you need to have a plan for when a fall occurs. Having a plan changes victims into survivors.medical alert monitoring  For instance, our fall detecting medical alert system is a great “plan B” and it lets you know what it’s doing the whole time. First the sensor beeps and flashes red when it detects a fall. Next, the flashing will switch to red and green alternate flashes so you know that help notifications were sent to the people you choose. If you aren’t hurt then a simple press of the sensor’s button clears the fall alert and the button flashing stops. Help notifications repeat until you clear the fall alert.
