The most obvious reason to use a monitoring device for safety is if an emergency is likely to be brought on by a seizure, stroke, heart attack, or conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. Other considerations are when the individual is frequently home alone or traveling alone, recovering from surgery or having difficulty communicating due to hearing loss or other medical issues. Medical Guardian devices are also ideal for the senior who enjoys an independent life but would simply feel safer with a way to reach emergency services quickly.
