How Big Is the Button On My Medical Alert System?

Updated May 23, 2024

Alert1 is always looking for ways to streamline and effortlessly incorporate senior solutions for aging in place. People searching for a senior medical alert system almost always ask how big the emergency help button actually is.

The short answer is that Alert1 offers the smallest, lightest, most comfortable medical alerts on the market today, and all of our emergency call buttons are easy to wear and push. The exact answer depends on which alert device you choose.

• The in-home medical alert pendant is rectangular with an oval button that is easy to press when you need help. 
• The emergency call button’s dimensions are: 1” width, 1.5” height, and 0.5” depth. The pendant is small enough that you can wrap your hand around the entire thing, but the button is big enough to easily press during an emergency.
• The in-home classic emergency call button can also be worn on a wristband. When you wear your emergency call button on a wristband, it resembles a watch. 

For those who find buckling a watch a bit of a hassle, we have something just for you! Alert1 offers slap bands!

• The slap band fits snugly around your wrist when slapped. This means that your in-home medical alert button will always be the perfect fit.
• These slap bands come in multiple colors. There is a gray one that should blend in with any color you might be wearing. 
• We also offer slap bands in blue and purple. The best thing about these slap bands is that they are made out of silicone. This means that you can get your button and slap band wet without worry. Always make sure to wear your button in the shower or bath.

Alert1’s fall detection pendant is a shaped a little differently than our classic pendant because it contains smart sensors that can detect falls.

• The pendant has a max height of 2.25”, a max width of 1.5”, and a thickness of 0.625”. Overall, the pendant's shape fits comfortably in your palm. 
• The entire pendant is shaped like a tear-drop and the emergency call button is a mesmerizing circle of indigo.  
• Inside the in-home alert pendant is the advanced technology that works behind detecting falls. Caregivers and seniors stand to gain added protection and health benefits from this powerful fall detection button.
