MobileHelp Company Overview

Emergencies can occur at any point in time, especially in the case of senior citizens. GPS and notification services enable families to be at peace and in the loop when emergencies do occur. As senior citizens get older, daily activity decreases, thus increasing the likelihood of falling. MobileHelp gives them the confidence to live a stress-free life with help just a button press away. As chronic disease management requires constant monitoring of vitals such as blood pressure and weight management, timely medication adherence as well as activity management, MobileHelp proves to be a helpful aid. The system helps authorized caregivers and loved ones keep track of the user's well-being without being intrusive.

Getting started with MobileHelp is easy. A MobileAgent expert will assist you in selecting which device will suit your needs best. Once the product is purchased, installation can be done on your own, no technician required. Post-installation, the device is ready to use. All the user needs to do is press the button in case of an emergency. The user's information and location are immediately relayed to the MobileHelp Emergency Operators, after which they establish two-way communication to assess the situation. Based on the assessment, the operators contact a family member, neighbor, or emergency service based on the need.

Is MobileHelp Right for You?

MobileHelp products were made for families who reside with their older parents and relatives that live in the states where MobileHelp is currently operating in. With an increasing number of working members in the family, senior citizens tend to be alone at home for most of the day. Medical alert systems like MobileHelp have proven revolutionary in these circumstances by providing prompt action and care for older citizens.

A huge plus point about MobileHelp is that all plans except one have 0 equipment or activation charges. They work on a monthly monitoring fee basis with a timely contract. MobileHelp's alert systems let you add a second MobileHelp button for free to your package. This is available in a wearable format to ensure mobility. You can also choose to opt for a waterproof panic button that can be installed on a wall or nightstand. Fall detection and other paid add-ons are also in the affordable range. Their customer support phone line is helpful and open Monday through Saturday for non-emergencies. The hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. 

MobileHelp has a few downsides as well, such as:

• The fall detection system doesn't accurately detect all kinds of falls.
• The battery life of the devices isn't very long-lasting and has to be charged every night in the charging cradle included with the device.
• The portable device is on the heavier side, so it might not be the most convenient option.
• As the devices work on AT&T cellular networks, good reception is required at all times.
• Their devices and wearables aren't waterproof (they are showerproof but not submergible)
