Medical Guardian MGHome + GPS Companion — Best PERS System — Home + Away Coverage
Medical Guardian's combination of home base station + GPS companion device covers both home-based emergencies (fall detection, emergency button) and away-from-home wandering. The 24/7 professional monitoring center contacts the patient, dispatches emergency services, and notifies family. The GPS companion can be placed in a pocket, bag, or shoe — less visible and therefore less likely to be removed than a wrist device.
