Why Medical Alert Systems with GPS Tracking Provide Better Safety
Usually the first question a 911 operator asks when an emergency is reported using a cell phone is: "what is the location of the emergency?". The time taken to ask this question and respond to it can waste precious seconds that a GPS system like MobileHelp can save!
MobileHelp Duo and Solo medical alert systems provide GPS tracking through the patented mobile device. In an emergency GPS tracking can pinpoint your location, which allows emergency assistance to reach you quicker. In an emergency every second counts.
Having GPS tracking is an important benefit which MobileHelp medical alert systems provide over calling 911 from a mobile phone.
Currently, 70 to 80 percent of emergency calls are made on cellphones. The Federal Communications Commission estimates that a one minute improvement in 911 response times for mobile callers would save more than 10,000 lives each year. Source Fox News December 28, 2016
