A medical alert is an alarm system designed to signal the presence of a hazard requiring urgent attention and to summon emergency medical personnel. Typical systems have a wireless pendant or transmitter

that can be activated in an emergency. When the medical alarm is activated, the signal is transmitted to

an alarm monitoring company’s central station, other emergency agency or other programmed phone numbers. Medical personnel are then dispatched to the site where the alarm was activated. A medical alarm system consists of: 1) An emergency transmitter, which is worn like a wristwatch or a pendant and 2) A base station, which is connected to the telephone and contains a very sensitive

microphone/speaker unit. In case of emergency, for example, after a fall or a suddenly appearing

ailment, the user can set off a call for help by a simple press of the alert button on his/her wrist, without needing to reach the telephone. The devices are configured so that any calls or connections in progress are terminated and a call for help can be initiated over the telephone.

According to QYR Pharma & Healthcare Research Center, There is about 20% of the elderly over 65

years of age suffered heavy losses due to physical dysfunction or illness, And 20% of those who suffered

from accidental injury were not receiving timely medical care. Currently the aging trend is clear, and this will be a very large potential market for medical alert systems. Global medical alarm system is mainly

concentrated in Europe and the United States and other medical advanced developed countries, while

Philips Lifeline, ADT, Tunstall, Greatcall and other enterprises accounted for nearly 65% of the market share.
