Help that's always there.

E.A.R.S. Lifeline (Emergency Alert Response System) is a crucial link that provides peace of mind, independence, early intervention and reassurance to those living independently at home.

This affordable personal emergency response system makes it easy for you to call for help from anywhere in your home or yard if you are unable to reach the phone. 
 

At the touch of a button, Lifeline summons assistance in the event of an emergency, an injury, a worsening medical condition, or simply if you are worried or feel as though you are in danger. It's there for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

With Lifeline, you'll feel a new sense of confidence and peace of mind.

How exactly does Lifeline work?

When you need help, you just press the waterproof Personal Help Button. You can wear the button as either a pendant , wristband, or watch. Within seconds, a certified Lifeline monitor responds, assesses the situation and summons appropriate help, whether it is a neighbor, relative or ambulance. The monitor who responds is a caring and extensively trained Lifeline professional. This person will have instant access to your pertinent health history and personal profile on his or her computer screen.

Philips Lifeline with AutoAlert

The newest offering from Noyes E.A.R.S. Lifeline, Philips Lifeline with AutoAlert combines the traditional Lifeline services with automatic fall-detection capabilities. The help button automatically calls for assistance if a fall is detected and the user is unable to push his or her help button. It's the only pendant-style device that automatically places a call for help if a fall is detected and you are unable to push your button-i.e. unconscious, disoriented, or immobilized.  According to an internal laboratory study of simulated falls, Lifeline with AutoAlert detected 95 percent of many types of falls and had a low rate of false alarms.

But, complex medication regimens can lead to mistakes, missing doses, taking incorrect amounts, or taking pills at the wrong time.  These mistakes could lead to unnecessary doctor or hospital visits and medical complications.  The Philips Medication Dispensing Service helps by reminding people with complex medication regimens to take medications at pre-programmed times, from convenient pre-filled dosage cups.  It combines an automated medication dispenser with 24-hour monitoring and adherence reporting.
