Most medical alert systems come with a necklace, also known as a medical alert pendant. Older adults are living increasingly active lifestyles. The ability to wear these life-saving devices around the neck – whether at home or on the go – is essential to maintaining a mobile, active life. As a result, Life Alert necklaces are widely available, as are those from Alert1.

Differences Between Life Alert Necklaces and Alert1
Functionally, there are few differences between Life Alert pendants and Alert1 systems. Upon pressing the large, colored button, both systems will contact an emergency call center. There, the operator will help the user assess the situation, then contact either emergency services or a person in the member’s Circle of Care.
As with most things, the details are what matter. Below, we’ve included a grid that lays out essential differences between our products. Both Life Alert and Alert1 will provide a great, user-friendly medical alert system – but the Life Alert necklace cost is almost three times more.

As you can see in the grid above, Alert1 and Life Alert have a few crucial differences. Among the most important to our users is the fact that we stay on the line until help arrives. We know that emergencies can be scary. Rather than waiting alone for help to arrive, we want you to feel as comforted and cared for as possible. We think your medical alert necklace should double as an emergency help tool and a companion in a scary situation.
Customize Your Medical Alert Pendant
We know that a lot of users don’t like the way medical alert systems look. They’re not always the most stylish accessories, but that recognizability has a purpose. In an emergency, you want your medical alert pendant to be instantly recognizable by any person responding to the scene. If you are not able to push the alert button, a bystander should be able to recognize your device and push it for you.
That said, there are a lot of ways for members to customize and add flair to their medical alert necklaces. Life Alert has several options to customize medical alert pendants. Popular choices include Life Alert chains and Life Alert lanyards. But Alert1 has these accessories, too. Whether you want a colorful chain, a lanyard, or a fun, do-it-yourself project, we have the accessories to help you express yourself – all at a lower cost.
