Local Company Offering New Two-Way Pendent Technology

BROOKFIELD — United Senior Alert recently became a MediPendant dealer servicing Connecticut’s Fairfield and Litchfield Counties, and New York State’s Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess Counties.

The company offers an innovative two-way medical alert system for elderly and disabled individuals to connect them instantly with a certified emergency medical technician (CMT)

“Few companies in this area,” said Dana Klesh, co-partner of United Senior Alert, “offer the nation’s only fully-monitored medical alarm system that allows the user to converse immediately with an CMT operator directly through their medical alert pendant in a two-way fashion.”

Ms Klesh announced the company is now offering Medical Alert Concepts’ newly introduced MediPendant. “This is the first of its kind in the worldwide PERS [personal emergency response system] industry. The MediPendant offers a fully-monitored, 24-hour, two-way voice communication system that connects a medical alert pendant wearer directly with a certified emergency operator.”

The new MediPendant features a speakerphone encased in a pendant that can be worn around a person’s neck, on their wrist, or on a belt.

 “What’s most important,” explained Charles Colman, company co-partner, “is that the pendant wearer can be anywhere within 600 feet of the alert system’s base monitor to communicate with the CMT operator. They can be inside or outside their home, and if they fall or become ill, they can speak directly into their pendant to a CMT to receive reassuring instruction and comfort.”

Ms Klesh explained, “The MediPendant provides professional assistance at the touch of a button. There are no telephone numbers to look up, and no need to dial a phone. With this new two-way voice technology, all the pendant-wearer needs to do is press the button, and talk directly with a CMT operator through that pendant.”

“Most alert systems available today do not allow a fallen, injured, or ill individual to talk directly with a medically trained professional,” Mr Colman said. “The individual wearing a MediPendant simply pushes the alarm button and a CMT operator can give them instruction while assuring them help is on its way. The pendant wearer can speak and listen directly through the pendant from anywhere within a 600+ feet line-of-sight range in or around their home. They can go almost anywhere inside or outside their home without restriction. No other PERS unit on the market today offers this capability. It’s a huge advancement for the PERS industry.”
