Many modern seniors keep active throughout their golden years. After all, 80 is the new 70. Older adults can enjoy safety and protection while on the go with Alert1's mobile medical alert pendant system. For those who prefer a bracelet or watchband style of med alert, we also offer a very popular emergency alert wristband with GPS. And best of all, both of our mobile devices are available with optional fall detection, which means built-in sensors within the device can automatically detect falls and send an alert for help even if the wearer cannot press the button.

What is the Zoey Mobile Medical Alert with GPS?

The Zoey Mobile Medical Alert with GPS comes in both a pendant and wristband style. They are both small and lightweight. All of Alert1’s senior medical alert systems get you fast help with just one push of a button and connect to our 24/7 emergency monitoring station via cellular networks. No phone line of any kind is required-- we handle everything for you and the device is ready to go upon receipt. There is even built-in GPS and optional fall detection. That means you get protection at home, on the way to the grocery store, and at the grocery store, or anywhere else for that matter. Whenever you need help, just press the alert button. Once you do, you will commence 2-way communication with the Alert1 Command Center.

For those wondering about the coverage of our Zoey mobile medical alerts, don’t worry-- it’s nationwide! That is because our carriers are two of the biggest and most established national carriers in the US.

As mentioned, whether you select the Zoey necklace alert or the Zoey wristband device, you don’t have to set up anything! We program everything for you and it arrives ready to use. All for much less than Life Alert costs. In fact, Alert1 is about 1/3 the price of the "I've fallen and can't get up" company. We even provide unlimited button pushes and talk time with our Command Center, all for one of the lowest service rates in the industry. 

How Does the Zoey Mobile Medical Alert Work During Emergencies?

Alert1 mobile medical alerts are so easy to use. When you need help, just press the emergency call button for help. Once you do, the med alert connects with the Alert1 Command Center and we get you help by calling people in your Circle of Care. Your Circle of Care consists of the people you have selected to assist you during an emergency. It also includes those you want to notify whenever you have an emergency.

As an example, member Anne always walks to the grocery store. Now Anne had a bad fall a few months ago, so she got a senior medical alert system from Alert1. And as Anne is extremely active and goes to the supermarket at least twice a week, Anne decided to get the Zoey mobile medical alert so she could take it with her everywhere. While getting her system, she had her Circle of Care set up to contact:

  1. Anise, her niece (to respond)
  2. Belinda, her daughter (to be notified)
  3. Brett, her son-in-law (to be notified)

While at her local grocery store, Anne tripped and quickly pressed her emergency call button. The Alert1 Command Center representative asked Anne if she needed help and then called her niece Anise to assist her, at Anne's request. If Anne had asked for EMS, we would have sent that instead. Our members are in control of who gets called or notified and in what order.

What Happens if I Fall and Don’t Know Where I Am?

Luckily, Alert1's mobile devices have you covered because they use the 911 emergency GPS technology to find where you are within two meters during an emergency. 

Wherever you go, whether to the local supermarket or across the country, you will be in good hands with an Alert1 mobile medical alert. It’s a light and durable pendant or wristband with nationwide coverage that allows you to live life with freedom and protection. And when you have an emergency, we will get you help no matter where you are.
