Assistance When You Need it Most

Over 1,000 Lifeline subscribers in the San Francisco East Bay area are linked to 24-hour assistance simply by pushing a button on their portable medical alert device, which is attached to a neck cord or wristband.

Whether your loved one or family member is at potential risk for a fall at home or recovering from a fall, you can have peace of mind knowing that Lifeline emergency response system assistance is always nearby.

Lifeline with AutoAlert

Philips Lifeline with AutoAlert is a new service option designed to support the independent living and well being of older adults.

Multiple sensors within the AutoAlert pendant constantly monitor a persons movements and activity as they go about their daily routine. The system is always on and always ready.

Using patented technology, AutoAlert easily distinguishes between normal activities and most falls. So when a fall does occur, the AutoAlert pendant can detect it and automatically place a call for help.
