Seniors or other medical alert users who travel a lot or have high levels of mobility may find traditional medical alerts with a base unit too confining and unequal to their needs. To that end, many companies have developed medical alert apps for cell phones, or mobile devices that eliminate the need for a base unit altogether.
Standard medical alert systems are typically comprised of two pieces of equipment, a base unit and an emergency help button; unless it's a mobile GPS system that users can take wherever they go. The base unit is the device that receives the call for help when the emergency help button is pressed and passes the alert on to the monitoring station.
