This course is a starting point for anyone who wants to know "Which emergency response system should I buy?".
Emergency response systems (medical alerts) are heavily marketed to older adults and their families, but it is extremely hard to find independent, objective analysis of what differentiates one from another. After studying more than 50 of these products, we have found big differences between individual products, and come to realize that choosing the right product for a specific individual is about far more than just price.
We have distilled the results of hundreds of hours of hands-on evaluation, and lots of Googling of websites, into a series of bite-size lectures. In less than an hour of total listening time, this course will give you an introduction to this important but confusing product category.
From this course, you will learn about:
Background to this course
Tech-enhanced Life is in the middle of a research project studying personal emergency response systems (PERS) for older adults. We want to answer questions like "Which emergency response (medical alert) is right for my parent, or for me?" And "Should I get an emergency response system, or not?"
In this course, we provide the results of the first part of this research project. This introduction will give you the basic tools for evaluating emergency response systems. In addition you will get an overview of our research project into emergency response systems including who is doing the work, how we are doing it, and how the results will help people like you choose the right emergency response system for a specific individual.
Tech-enhanced Life, PBC is a Public Benefit Corporation with the mission of improving the quality of life of older adults and their families. Our focus is on finding ways that clever, technology-enhanced products can help overcome some of the challenges of aging, and compensate for functional decline. So that older adults and their families can spend more time doing what they love to do, and less time dealing with problems and worrying.
