Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/17/2015 -- First Response System.com, America's leading provider of personal emergency response systems for independent older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions, has launched an online education campaign focusing consumers on why emergency monitoring services should be considered a critical component when choosing the best medical alert system for seniors.
Recognized throughout the country as a leading authority on home safety and fall prevention for the senior marketplace, First Response has created informative and entertainment-driven content through a series of video blogs and featured web page articles that serve to educate these at-risk individuals on all facets of emergency monitoring services. This content particularly spotlights how these EMS services and related live operator protocols are effectively integrated into their personal medical alarm devices.
Scott Hazlewood, Director of Client Services for First Response states, "As consumers, seniors and their family member caregivers need access to information that helps them make better choices when evaluating national providers during their selection process. These online video blogs and articles unravel the mystery on how these medical monitoring services actually work and are presented in a very simple, easy-to-understand and entertaining format."
Featured prominently throughout the material, is the critical role First Response live operators play when responding to a client user's medical alarm call and the specific response and dispatch protocols that are set in motion once the nature of the personal emergency has been determined.
Special attention is also given to related topics such as the activation of the friends and family notification contact list, chronology of a typical alarm call, the national emergency response call center, and the home-based personal medical data form for EMS responders amongst others.
Greg Ribaudo, General Manager of First Response System explains, "The backbone of any effective personal alarm device or system is the provider's emergency monitoring center operation, the level of professionalism of its live operator staff, and the protocols used during and after an emergency call."
As a veteran advisor to the medical alarm system and home security industries, Mr. Ribaudo elaborates further on this message, "The overall system equipment, its' product features and associated costs are important factors when considering systems and providers. But without the comprehensive services performed by a professionally-certified emergency monitoring organization, nothing else really matters."
Reading between the lines, this may serve as a gentle warning to consumers to get educated before evaluating providers and the systems and monitoring services they offer seniors. Not all providers, local or national, are financially prepared to provide the comprehensive emergency monitoring services necessary to fully protect seniors when a sudden accident or emergency strikes.
Taking into consideration that family member caregivers are increasingly tapped to do the preliminary research when considering these systems for their loved ones, First Response System.com has created this new series of video blogs to be formatted and accessed online via smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices and computers popular today with younger adult users.
