AutoAlert
How Would You Get Help at a Moment Like This? The FIRST medical alert pendant that can call for help even when you can't.
Our Lifeline with AutoAlert * option also enables you to push the pendant-style button for help at any time. In addition, AutoAlert provides an added layer of protection by automatically placing a call for help if a fall is detected and you can't push your button because you are disoriented, immobilized or unconscious.
This enhanced service option can provide even greater peace of mind and confidence. Lifeline is the FIRST medical alert service provider that integrates this capability into a pendant-style Help Button.
