Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/02/2015 -- First Response System.com and its nationally recognized consumer brand name First Response, America's leading authority and nationwide provider of personal emergency response systems and wearable panic alarm devices for independent seniors and active individuals, has recently launched a national campaign to educate consumers that the use of personal medical alarm systems and devices are appropriate for individuals of any age and lifestyle- not just seniors.

Scott Hazlewood, Managing Director of Product & Business Development for First Response System.com emphasizes, "First Response is breaking away from the traditional model and assumptions that personal emergency medical alarm systems are only critical to protecting independent seniors and at-risk individuals. With recent advances in wireless communication technology, GPS tracking, and microchip applications to name a few, individuals at any age and lifestyle can depend on these monitoring and dispatch devices to offer reliable, affordable modern-day monitoring and protection."

A senior emergency alert button, worn primarily as a waterproofed bracelet or necklace pendant, have changed very little over the past several decades in an industry that was not historically known for cutting edge innovation. The primary reason for this lack of evolution in technology-based applications is due to the target consumer. In other words, independent seniors and older adults as the end user traditionally comprise over 90% of the marketplace for such medical alarm devices and services.

All of this has changed in only the past few years. First Response System.com is known as early adopters of new, proven technologies and devices within the medical alarm industry, has fully embraced innovative systems like cell dialers and GPS-based mobile devices that have been designed to be easy-to-use, maintenance-free and affordable for their customers.

Innovative products create new market opportunities according to First Response. Greg Ribaudo, General Manager and Managing Director of Product Technology states, "Improvements in technology while offering a wider range of applications and uses has really created an unprecedented demand by consumers and businesses for personal emergency alarm devices. We are experiencing a much broader appeal for our systems and services apart from seniors and at-risk individuals than ever before. Wireless and micro technologies are making this happen."

It takes more than innovative technology and smart products to create new markets filled with wanting and willing customers. In 2015, First Response System.com began the process of specifically marketing and reaching out to targeted consumer groups, businesses and industries to the advantages of including personal emergency alert systems into their safety programs.

The results of these initiatives have proven to be very successful from the outset. A prime example of this strategy is the introduction of sports medical alert systems for the fitness club and sports facilities industries. Scott Hazlewood further explains, "Member-based sports facilities especially are subject to insurance, legal and safety liability issues that if addressed effectively with our emergency alarm systems, could save a business operator or proprietor considerable cost savings while maintaining compliance and best practices. It is also a very good member client amenity that reflects in a positive way for the business operator."

Whether an individual consumer or business, First Response System.com is leading the medical alarm industry into new territories never imagined. As the technology evolves and becomes more mobile and portable, the possibilities for new demand by these emerging customer groups will increase over time dramatically. First Response is excited for the future and for these emerging nationwide consumer trends- a demand they seemingly have created solely by themselves.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2015 -- First Response System.com, America's leading authority and nationwide provider of personal emergency response systems and wearable panic alert devices for independent seniors and individuals with chronic medical conditions, has recently announced the official Fall 2015 / Winter 2016 launch of the company's newly updated product line for at home, travel and commercial facility systems and emergency monitoring services.

Scott Hazlewood, Managing Director of Client Services USA for First Response states, "As First Response System.com further expands into the residential and commercial markets serviced by our medical alert systems and emergency monitoring services, it is essential that we provide our valued clients with the most reliable, high-quality first alert systems and personal devices available in the industry today".

Mr. Hazlewood continues by emphasizing, "In today's economy especially, affordability of our products and services paired with unparalleled customer service and around-the-clock technical support, makes our emergency medical alarm systems equally accessible to individual consumers and businesses alike, regardless of budget or limited funds".

As an example of the latter, First Response is placing more control into the hands of their clients as to how a system can be used more effectively to better address their specific need or situation. To do so, First Response has recently developed easy-to-understand instructional user manuals, product description guides, and advisory/help documents pertinent to each of the four main medical alarm systems and personal devices. These useful tools are now available in hardcopy and on the company's website. A dedicated service and support center is also available via a nationwide toll-free number at (866) 930-1130 for live client assistance and prospective customer information.

With winter weather coming to most of the nation in the next few months, the risk of falling and other related personal emergencies rises to epidemic proportions nationwide, both indoors and outdoors. The timely release of the First Response System.com product line is specifically targeted to individuals and businesses (commercial and non-profit) who feel they are at risk for these unexpected events and accidents.

The Fall 2015 product line showcases three newly updated personal emergency response systems:

- The Cell Dialer System by First Response that allows users to broadcast a panic alarm signal wirelessly without the need of a traditional landline. Enhanced features include high definition voice clarity (in most areas), extended range signal, and alarm status live updates from the console- all within a new streamlined design;

- GPS MobileCare System by First Response is an "all-in-one" personal medical alert necklace that can be transported anywhere- from the home, in the car, to virtually any destination near or far. Features include GPS location tracking, fall detection with auto alarm capability, and a 2-way voice-activated speaker located right on the device;

- Medical Alert System Plus+ by First Response designed specifically for commercial use where there are multiple users at a single site location. Clients include Health & Community Services Centers, Senior Community Living developments, Educational Learning Centers and schools, and Sports & Fitness Center to name a select few.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/04/2015 -- First Response System.com and its parent company, First Alarm, Inc. based in New York, have recently announced the launch of the company's long-anticipated Commercial Clients Group, which specializes in servicing small to large "facility-based" businesses and non-profit organizations nationwide with the latest generation technology in emergency medical alarm systems and personal safety devices.

First Response System, America's leading authority and nationwide provider of personal emergency response systems (called PERS) for the senior adult and individual health care marketplace in the United States, plans to offer these specialized personal alert systems and commercial emergency monitoring services to businesses and organizations that operate facilities and venues, both small and large, for public and private use.

The main purpose of these emergency response systems and monitoring services is to allow building staff and their patrons to call First Response live operators directly in order to dispatch local medical, fire and police emergency responders to the client premises quickly, during the onset of a sudden accident or emergency event. By the simple press of a personal panic alert button as part of an overall community safety alert system, the user is connected via phone line or a wireless cellular network to the First Response National Emergency Monitoring Center.

Scott Hazlewood, Managing Director of Client Services USA for First Response is spearheading the Commercial Clients Group nationwide entry into the business and non-profit sector marketplaces. Mr. Hazlewood stated, "First Response has been servicing venue-based clients nationally for more than ten years- from federal and state-run correctional facilities to sports and fitness club centers. It is only fitting that we create a boutique business that leverages our long-term expertise and operational capabilities in emergency medical alarm and monitoring to offer customized systems and response protocols to these same commercial clients, just on a much larger scale, both in volume and size."

With recent improvements in medical alarm and communication technology, especially wireless and mobile devices, First Response is poised to provide personal emergency response systems that can be deployed within any venue, large or small. Mr. Hazlewood further states, "We have the capability to monitor stand-alone venues as well as facilities that comprise regional groups or national chains; from a 1,000 square foot to a 50,000+ square feet building footprint including multiple floors."

The Commercial Clients Group will initially focus on community health care and social service residential facilities, independent senior living community complexes, education and child care centers, as well as fitness clubs and multi-sport and recreation venues. Plans for expansion into other sectors, both indoor and outdoor facilities, as well as mobile use applications are currently being explored.

The timing of this new business launch was not by sheer accident. With the introduction of a "game-changing" technology, namely GPS mobile devices, and a new generation medical alert system now available to the market, First Response feels businesses can now benefit from affordable emergency response systems to protect their valued employees and customers.

Greg Ribaudo, Chief Technology Officer for First Alarm Inc. and First Response System.com explains, "The launch of the Commercial Client Group goes hand-in-hand with the introduction of our Medical Alert System Plus+ and GPS MobileCare device. These systems are ideal for big and small buildings and venues where users can employ portable panic alert button wearables, remote 2-way voice activated speaker stations, extended range signal coverage, and silent alarm capability. These are only some of the key features now available in our First Response systems for indoor and outdoor use."

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/03/2015 -- First Response System.com, America's leading authority and nationwide provider of personal emergency response systems (called PERS) for independent seniors and individuals with chronic disabilities, has announced the introduction of a ground-breaking medical alert system geared toward the sports, health and fitness club communities throughout the United States. By offering such a system to clubs nationwide, the clear message is that safety protection for members is the ultimate club priority.

Scott Hazlewood, Managing Director of Client Services USA for First Response states, "With the continued vertical growth of franchised sports, health and fitness clubs throughout America, First Response has created a personal emergency and medical alarm system that effectively monitors athletes and health-conscious individuals while they actively train or work-out within an expansive club-type environment. This serves as the best medical alarm system available today for club members that responds with local emergency assistance to an unexpected accident or physical injury at a moment's notice."

As these sports and fitness clubs serve as a hub for a variety of sports activities, workout regimens and exercise classes for both individuals and groups, monitoring these participants for sudden emergency events and medical accidents as a result of their intensive physical activity is critical and can be life-saving. For effective emergency monitoring and response, the medical alarm system and its' related devices can be worn by an individual and are also positioned strategically throughout a club facility, particularly in high-traffic and isolated work-out areas.

In the event of such an emergency or accident, a club member simply presses their personal panic alert button, worn as a medical alert necklace or bracelet, where the user can then communicate with a First Response certified, live operator over a 2-way, voice activated speaker within their workout area or room. If needed, local emergency assistance responders can be dispatched (usually within minutes) to the club location. For added assurance, First Response also notifies club management amongst other pre-arranged client protocols.

Greg Ribaudo, Chief Technology Officer for First Response and its parent company First Alarm, Inc., further states, "Wireless technology has transformed the medical alarm industry where monitoring systems and personal alert devices now exist for clubs and their active members to enjoy exercise and workouts within a secure and safe environment during any hour of the day or night, and to do so with a tremendous sense of personal independence and peace-of-mind. Safety should always be top priority for club management and members alike."

Club operators have adopted to the emergency monitoring and response system concept vigorously and with high enthusiasm early on. The features and benefits to the club operator and its' management team are directly attributable to providing a unique VIP-type membership amenity (offered on a complimentary basis) that serves to monitor and protect its valued member clientele in the event of a sudden personal emergency, physical injury or medical accident within the confines of the club where immediate medical response on a 24/7 basis, is needed.

First Response and First Response System.com has announced it is making these medical alarm systems, specifically designed for the sports, health and fitness club industry operators, as affordably-priced system packages available either for purchase and/or as a lease price plan option. Interested parties are invited to visit the company's web site at http://firstresponsesystem.com/ or by calling First Response Client Services USA at (866) 930-1130 or (866) 686-9344 toll-free, seven days a week.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2015 -- First Response System.com, America's leading authority and nationwide provider of personal emergency response systems (PERS) for independent seniors and individuals with chronic disabilities, is introducing a new generation of home medical alert systems that offers consumers a variety of modern-day features not found in traditional at-home emergency medical systems and devices.

Scott Hazlewood, Director of Client Services USA for First Response states, "First Response System is excited to introduce the industry's first 'all-in-one' personal emergency response system that combines land line, cellular and multiple remote activation speaker connections all within the same system. As an added bonus, extended range signal coverage from the personal emergency alarm button to the console has been significantly increased. This newly improved system provides seniors and consumers with more security and monitoring alarm protection than ever before, making this the best medical alert system for seniors today."

For decades, seniors and their family member caregivers were provided with a minimum of choices when selecting an emergency medical alarm system for use in the home and around the property. The land line system, requiring a land line phone connection to a base console unit, ruled the industry for several decades. In this century, with the rapid growth of cell phone users and related cellular networks nationwide, the medical alarm industry began offering a cellular dialer system for use in the home where no land line phone connection was needed.

This new technology was lauded as a major product breakthrough for both the industry and the senior adult consumer marketplace. Greg Ribaudo, Chief Technology Officer of First Response System elaborates, "Incorporating cellular technology into our product lines freed seniors from the restriction of having only one choice in medical alert systems. With the new cell dialer system, seniors finally had a reliable, high-performance option for the home. Consumers were given the ability to transmit the alarm signal through a land line or a cell tower network."

A significant and newly available feature of this combination medical alarm system is the capability to integrate multiple remote speakers and personal help alert buttons serving as wireless transmitter devices to the monitoring base console unit.

Previously, 2-way voice communication between the user and the live emergency operator was confined to the 2-way voice speaker located directly on the base console unit. Now, up to four or five "Remote Speaker Microphone" modules that can be wall or counter base mounted, allow clear, loud 2-way voice communication between the user and their certified First Response emergency operator from the bathroom, laundry, 2nd floor, or basement- virtually anywhere within wireless range of the monitoring base station console.

For commercial users, such as sports and fitness clubs, independent living community housing and other communal venues where emergency medical alarm and monitoring is critical, the new combination medical alert system can accommodate up to 16 personal help buttons worn either as a wireless, lightweight bracelet or portable alarm necklace/ pendant. Affordably priced and always maintenance-free, commercial and residential users alike can now take advantage of the latest in medical alarm technology and modern-day features to deliver independence, mobility and peace-of-mind security.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/21/2015 -- First Response System.com, America's leading authority and nationwide provider of personal emergency response systems for independent seniors, has released an updated consumer guide as part of the company's continuing online education blog series. Choosing the best medical alert system for a senior or individual with a chronic medical condition has never been more of a challenge. With recent advancements in medical alarm technology, consumers are now faced with a broader selection of medical alert systems and devices to choose from than ever before.

Scott Hazlewood, Director of Client Services USA for First Response states, "The medical alert system industry has been relatively slow to adapt to new and emerging technologies as compared to the automobile and telecommunications industries." Mr. Hazlewood further states, "Now that our industry has wholeheartedly adopted GPS tracking, cellular communication and related mobile applications integrated into our monitoring and alarm devices, consumers are now presented with a wider selection of reliable, high-performance products and services. It's only going to get better."

Selecting an elderly emergency alert system that is a perfect match to a senior's personal lifestyle, financial budget and technical proficiency is a delicate balance amongst these three areas of concern. First Response System.com, by way of its online educational blog series and live, toll-free customer service center, advises consumers to consider lifestyle as the first major step in researching an emergency alarm system.

Greg Ribaudo, Chief Technology Officer for First Response System.com advises, "Define the user's lifestyle first and medical need or monitoring, second. If the user spends the majority of their time at home, focus on a land line system for the home and property. If mobility is a primary concern, consider a GPS tracking and wireless, portable device that you can take anywhere. Once you define these requirements, it is always prudent to contact a national provider to discuss more specific details and budget."

Seniors and individuals that are prone to fall, for example, have never been in a better position to take advantage of the recent advancements in medical alarm system technology. New and emerging applications such as fall detection and auto alarm alert are now becoming standard in mobile, portable devices that can be worn as an accessory.

Strongly consider whether the technology, device features and related maintenance (i.e. daily charging of the unit) is compatible with the user's technical proficiency. If seniors, for example, use a cell phone on a fairly regular basis, then adapting to a more portable, mobile device should not be a challenge. For fashion-conscious individuals, functionality is now mixing with design to further enhance the look and feel of these wearable emergency alarm devices.

As exciting as these recent technical advancements are to First Response System and the systems they provide to their valued clients nationwide, the company's website and attendant call center specialists still advise consumers the traditional land line and cellular dialer systems (for the home and property) are considered the best value when combining performance, reliability and budget. The company welcomes all consumer inquiries to discuss systems, features, monitoring, response protocols, pricing and more.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2015 -- First Response System.com has announced the launch of their newly re-designed website to reflect the latest and most significant advancements in medical alarm system technology. First Response System, a leading national provider of senior emergency response systems, has created a more modernized, and thus enhanced, website to more effectively communicate and market its most comprehensive product line to these targeted consumers for 2015 and beyond.

In an effort to appeal to future First Response clients while servicing their existing valued members, the new website was created to make the visitor experience more user-friendly, productive and time-efficient. As a result, key enhancements include easier navigation around the site through a streamlined upper menu bar that directs the visitor to a specific product or content page. Also, an expanded sidebar section is notably featured on each page to quickly access customer service, live chat assistance, brochure requests, weekly promotional and discount offers, and online ordering.

Scott Hazlewood, Director of Client Services USA for First Response states, "Advances in personal emergency systems technology and mobile applications have truly benefited medical alert for seniors. Consumers now have a comprehensive range of product selection to meet any personal lifestyle or budget. Our new First Response System website reflects these modern day product trends while offering visitors a contemporary, user-friendly experience that gets to key information fast."

Where timely and easy access to key product information and related price plan options are essential to site visitors and shoppers, First Response has revamped the website to include a main page dedicated to each medical alert system. Each product page details the features and benefits of a particular system with a page link to request more information, live chat assistance with a First Response Specialist, and/or to order online.

Helping consumers to select the best medical alarm system for their needs, lifestyle and budget is the main focus of the newly revamped website. FirstResponseSystem.com now offers these seniors and their family member caregivers with a modern, user-friendly website to unravel the "complexity" of the three primary medical alert systems they will ever need: Land line system for home and property; Cellular Dialer system; and GPS MobileCare system for home and travel that syncs a patented fall detection and auto alarm application into an "all-in-one" device.

By further simplifying the user online experience, FirstResponseSystem.com has created individual main pages to serve as mini-tutorials that focus on the company's emergency monitoring services and response protocols, home safety and fall prevention programs, frequently asked questions, and client reviews. Independence, mobility and peace-of-mind is the cornerstone benefit as to why seniors and family members trust and use First Response System products and is a central content theme articulated throughout the newly updated website.

As an added benefit, original "how does it work!" video blogs are all found on one convenient page where visitors and clients alike can directly access specific 3-minute tutorials on various systems set-up and operation. The videos include features and benefits of devices and alarm buttons, client interviews, and testimonials. A video blog discussing an emergency necklace for the elderly is top-rated by viewers.

Visitors and valued clients alike can now access FirstResponseSystem.com through any personal device, from cell phone/smartphone to tablet to computer and receive the same rich experience. Fresh and original content offerings by way of new video and text article posts, in addition to new technology solutions and medical alarm system products and devices will be constantly updated and posted.

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. First Response is also available for a free consultation with a live Care Specialist by calling their 24/7 Customer Services toll-free line at 866-930-1130 or to request descriptive material on these topics by visiting the company website at http://www.FirstResponseSystem.com

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/16/2015 -- First Response System.com, America's leading authority and national provider of emergency alert systems for seniors, has announced the company's product line for 2015 featuring the latest generation home medical alert system, GPS mobile medical alert device and related accessory items. To showcase the latest line of medical alarm products and services, the company's website at FirstResponseSystem.com is also scheduled to be re-launched in February of 2015.

Scott Hazlewood, Director of Client Services & Support for First Response System states, "We are thrilled to introduce our broadest selection ever of emergency medical alarm systems, button devices and accessories to the senior and older adult marketplace for 2015. Our consumer mission remains the same- to provide seniors and individuals with chronic disabilities with affordable, reliable and easy-to-use medical alarm systems and devices".

The 2015 product line launch includes the introduction of the GPS MobileCare system that offers GPS Medical Alert with automatic fall detection and alarm application technology. This new medical alarm and monitoring system represents a new technology breakthrough for First Response System. Although the company has offered a similar device to American seniors over the past several years, newly field-tested applications like automatic fall detection and alert have solidified GPS location tracker technology as the adopted technology for the medical alarm industry going forward.

As affordability and reliability are still the dominating factors for older adult consumers when selecting the right emergency medical alert systems, the traditional and longstanding landline personal emergency response system (PERS) is still the company's most popular product line system. These standardized systems, for home and travel use, are constantly updated to include the latest features such as extended range signal from the panic help button to the base console unit, button waterproofing capability, extended back-up power, contoured jewel case design (to mitigate false alarms) and improved comfort.

For 2015, First Response is also placing particular focus on re-launching its' Cell Dialer landline system. The company is excited to promote the Cell Dialer console as a companion device to the standard landline system, yet provides the system user the ability to send the emergency alarm signal via a cellular network rather than through a standard home phone line.

Greg Ribaudo, General Manager of First Response System and a widely respected technical advisor to the medical alarm industry, further states, "New advancements in communications technology have only strengthened our system product line offerings to consumers. Our challenge is to be even more selective as to which technologies and applications not only benefit the user, but are easy-to-use with minimal maintenance."

As family member caregivers continue to strive in providing independence, mobility and peace-of-mind for their senior loved ones, First Response System has also announced the revamp of its National Emergency Monitoring Center emergency protocols, account systems and alarm call monitoring. To coincide with its 2015 system product line launch and soon-to-be-released website re-design, valued clients of First Response will be offered even more medical alarm and emergency services capabilities through its products and services, corporate client services team and emergency monitoring center.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/18/2014 -- First Response System.com, America's leading provider of emergency medical alarm devices and monitoring dispatch services for senior adults and individuals with chronic disabilities, has released a timely online consumer guide that advises holiday shoppers on how to select the best medical alert system for themselves or a loved one. As an added benefit, this easy-to-understand guide also serves to inform seniors and their family member caregivers to the pitfalls of telemarketing scams that are so prevalent this time of year and how to detect them at the outset.

Scott Hazlewood, Director of Client Services for First Response System advises, "Our Consumer Guide is meant to be a powerful tool in the hands of our consumers. Educating holiday shoppers on what systems are most compatible to specific user lifestyles and needs while providing a list of the right questions to ask prospective providers is critical to the decision process. During this frenzied holiday shopping period, everyone can use this insightful information to make their shopping process quicker, easier and more stress-free."

The online guide, available in the blog section of the company's website, covers a wide spectrum of topics that can easily be digested and implemented by savvy consumers, young and elder adults alike. These topics include features and benefits of different systems and panic alert devices, critical emergency monitoring service and dispatch protocols, live operator credentials, challenges to non-technical users of certain systems, ancillary provider services and customer service, matching budget to the right system and more.

More strikingly, the First Response Consumer Guide contains insightful information that some national providers of medical alert systems for seniors may not want consumers to know. Some revealing examples include various hidden fees (upfront service charges that are deemed unnecessary and cost prohibitive), long term agreements committing users to systems they might not need in future years, unnecessary technologies and limited field-tested applications that may be burdensome to elder adult users.

Greg Ribaudo, General Manager of First Response and a respected technical advisor to the industry, further states, "With the recent advancement and adoption of new technologies within the medical alarm industry, consumers are now faced with even more choices in their devices and applications than ever before. Our Consumer Guide will help consumers cut through the clutter of information, marketing messages and advertising claims in order to find the right system and best provider to more effectively meet their needs and budget."

While the majority of respectable national providers of emergency medical alarm systems has never been more accessible via the internet, the holiday shopping season serves as an opportunity for the burgeoning telemarketing and direct mail scam market to target seniors and family members with promises of government subsidized systems and services. First Response System provides these at-risk consumers with helpful Consumer Guide tips to detect fraudulent practices and solicitations from the outset thereby preventing serious compromise of personal information and identity theft.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2014 -- First Response System.com, a leading national provider of medical alert systems, is managing a nationwide initiative within the personal medical alarm industry by offering health and age-based at-risk communities with a comprehensive first alert program to better and more effectively manage their personal safety and home environment. This program is easily accessible to the public through the company's website and toll-free reliable nationwide, live customer service center.

Scott Hazlewood, Director of Client Services & Support for First Response System states, "The cornerstone for an effective senior adult safety plan is a medical alarm system that monitors sudden accidents and then dispatches emergency responders to a user's location quickly. Using this alarm system lays down the foundation necessary for at-risk individuals to integrate other key measures into creating a comprehensive, pro-active and solution-based safety plan."

The online program consists of key elements and strategies that consumers will find immediately manageable and actionable. Features include a consumer checklist to choose the right system provider, as well as how personal medical alert systems work, the creation of a friends and family contact notification list, and executing and updating a personal medical data form. Other management techniques in the online program allow users to implement an indoor and outdoor home safety evaluation checklist, track key elements of an annual wellness exam, maintain strategies on how to effectively engage with primary physicians and caregivers, and retain resource materials for web-based health and wellness tools.

National statistics show that the majority of seniors (over the age of 65) have experienced a recent critical fall accident and, as a result, have been involved in subsequent recurring falls. Chronic ailments and managed medications only elevate these conditions. Until now, finding solutions and educational resources within a single source to address these challenges of aging-in-place have not been available, or at the very least hard to find. First Response presents a program that is convenient to access under one source and is formatted to be easily understood, and simple to activate.

Greg Ribaudo, General Manager of First Response System.com and a respected medical alarm industry veteran, further explains, "Seniors and their caregivers must adopt a far-reaching safety plan that not only addresses the challenges and complications of aging and chronic disability, but serves to slow down this process through proper education and awareness, prevention, and effective medical monitoring devices. We feel our Personal Safety Program addresses all the key components to help preserve and maintain independence, mobility and safety for our seniors and individuals at-risk."

As part of this online initiative to provide seniors and health care professionals alike with easy-to-access educational content, First Response System.com has established a nationwide toll-free phone service to help guide these at-risk communities through consultations with live Medical Alert Specialists from the company. A "request for more information/brochure" submit button is also available on the company website to directly access and receive various documents of the personal safety program.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2014 -- First Response System.com has recently announced the publication release of several key articles featured on the company's acclaimed online Blog series portal. The portal provides consumers with the critical information and key insights necessary in order to select the best medical alert system. Individuals will find the information helpful when looking to meet the specific lifestyle and technology needs of any independent senior or any person challenged by a chronic medical condition or disability.

Home medical alert systems are considered by the medical alarm industry and consumers alike as the most preferred and cost-effective investment for emergency medical monitoring and protection for seniors. Together with longstanding cellular and GPS-tracking technologies, these devices are quickly being adopted by the major service providers like First Response into the consumer marketplace.

As part of an ongoing initiative to educate America's independent seniors and their caregivers to become better informed consumers, particularly in light of these recent advancements in technology to the emergency medical alarm industry, First Response System.com is mentoring consumers to now think strategically when choosing a medical alert system for home use or travel. Not only do new and emerging technologies bring more choices and selection to systems and devices, they also bring more focus on the user and how each system may or may not be compatible with the needs of the user.

To emphasize this new way of consumer thinking, Scott Hazlewood of First Response System advises, "When we speak with would-be clients at the outset, we advise them to evaluate systems and providers in five key areas- user lifestyle and needs, user acceptance/use of the various levels of technologies being offered, emergency monitoring service protocols, customer service reliability and performance, and price plan options associated to a perceived budget."

With all of these new factors and dynamics to consider, consumers are now challenged to research an even greater wealth of product and service provider information in order to make the right decision, financial and otherwise. With limited time on the part of consumers to achieve this goal, First Response System.com has updated its web site and blog series portal to now generate content-specific pages that help break down this volume of information. The blog series distills the in-depth information into an easy-to-understand language and actionable format. Choosing the right modern-day medical alert system for a loved one needn't be confusing, daunting or all-consuming when armed with the right approach, needs and goals in mind.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/15/2014 -- In an ongoing effort to educate independent living seniors and their family member caregivers to better understand and more effectively take advantage of the latest-generation medical alert systems, First Response System.com has initiated an online program to help demystify the modern-day technologies and emergency protocols that can best serve consumers when employing a medical monitoring system for the first time.

Understandably, twenty-first-century technologies can come with a myriad of beneficial features that may overwhelm many consumers, particularly elderly adults and the family members that care for them. Fortunately, traditional land line and cell dialer systems for use in-and-around-the-home are relatively simple to operate and require minimal, if no maintenance. For seniors and families that require more portable and mobile systems for use outside the home and property, GPS and cellular network technologies offer more enhanced emergency medical applications and features.

For most independent seniors, a medical alert system represents a first alert "line of defense" when an unexpected accident or sudden life-threatening medical emergency occurs. Yet, equally important is the emergency medical monitoring services and associated response and dispatch protocols that are immediately enacted upon once the user presses their panic alert button. According to Scott Hazlewood, Vice President of Client Services & Support for First Response, "The backbone of any medical alarm system is the quality and professional-level of the emergency monitoring center, its action protocols in place, and the competency of the live operator who specifically responds to the individual user's call".

The online program, featured prominently on the blog section of the company website, acts as a guide that systematically instructs the reader on how the First Response national emergency monitoring center functions, what actually happens when a live certified EMS operator responds to the user via the system during an emergency call, and specific "action" protocols that can be chosen and adopted by the user, family members and First Response in the event of an actual emergency medical alarm dispatch. An informational video provides further insights into these critical elements that comprise the overall emergency medical monitoring and dispatch service to clients.

As part of this online initiative to provide clients and consumers alike with easy-to-access educational content featuring the latest developments in products and services to help seniors maintain their independence, mobility and peace-of-mind, First Response System.com has established a Toll-Free information hotline where interested seniors and family member caregivers can speak personally with a live Medical Alert Specialist. A "request for more information" submit button, located on each page of the website, is also available for direct contact with company representatives.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/14/2014 -- It is a universally accepted fact that seniors throughout America are living longer and, as a result, are leading more active and productive lives than at any other period in America's history. First Response System.com, a leading national provider of personal emergency medical alert systems for independent seniors and health care providers, has publicly released this report to assist consumers in finding the best medical alert system. Their report is based upon a criterion that focuses on the elderly user's current medical conditions, needs and lifestyle.

According to statistics detailed in the First Response System.com report, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that seniors aged 65 plus will double in size over the next 25 years. The First Response System consumer report also goes on to conclude that America's seniors are able to stay in their homes longer as opposed to entering traditional assisted living or some level of monitored institutional care. This is due to better access to health care and more effective medical treatments (public and private services).

Scott Hazlewood, Director of Client Services for First Response System.com, states "The explosive growth of our nation's senior community translates to an unprecedented and immediate need for comprehensive health care services, quality medical treatment, and state-of-the-art medical products and emergency medical monitoring devices for America's seniors. How to best choose a personal medical alert system for a loved one is critical to their independence and overall quality of life as they continue to age in place."

The report outlines in a simplified and easy-to-understand format, the particular applications, features and benefits of each personal medical alert system and to correlate each system to a specific elderly user profile. Each user profile is identified by using a set criteria of medical, mental and physical impairment, mobility and lifestyle assessments. Once the user identifies the profile that closest resembles their lifestyle contained in the report, a specific personal medical alarm system can then be recommended or selected.

As part of the company's report to consumers, First Response System.com is positioned to provide seniors nationwide with the latest in emergency medical alert systems and 24/7 emergency monitoring services for the home, as well as travel. This modern-day product line extends to traditional landline medical alarm systems, cell dialer systems when there is no landline available, and latest generation GPS tracking medical alarm devices for unlimited portability and travel.

Akin to all systems in the First Response System product line is the universally recognized help alert or emergency panic button. Worn primarily as an emergency necklace for seniors, this wireless transmitter can be pressed by the user to dispatch 911 emergency responders when experiencing the onset of a medical emergency, sudden event or accident. For example, the report recommends the GPS MobileCare necklace device for those users who wish to communicate with live emergency operators over an easy-to-access two-way voice activated speaker that is located on the necklace device.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/18/2014 -- As seniors are living longer and collectively leading a more active, independent lifestyle than at any time in America's history, First Response System.com, a leading national provider of personal emergency response systems (PERS) for independent seniors and health care providers, has released a timely study that forecasts a significant increase in the use of an elderly emergency alert system, medical lifestyle products, and home health care services for Americans aged 65 and over.

According to the First Response white paper, by the year 2030, the percentage of Americans over the age of 65 will surpass the percentage of children under the age of 15, according to PEW Research. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that seniors aged 65 plus will double in size over the next 25 years. The First Response study also observes that due to better health and medical care (public and private services), these seniors are able to stay in their homes longer as opposed to entering traditional assisted living or some level of monitored institutional care.

Greg Ribaudo, General Manager of First Response System.com, states "These growth trends are unprecedented and should serve as a present-day warning to America that the impending needs of our seniors for comprehensive health care services, quality medical treatment, and state-of-the-art medical products and medical monitoring technologies has never been more important or critical."

Due in part to the company's own findings, First Response System.com is positioned to provide seniors nationwide with the latest in emergency medical alert systems and 24/7 emergency monitoring services for the home as well as travel. Incorporating new technologies for the 21st century, First Response has recently introduced to the consumer market a GPS MobileCare system that serves as a complete emergency medical monitoring and alarm service featuring a discrete, wearable device to provide accurate GPS tracking and locating (at the touch of a button), an advanced fall detection multi-sensor application, and supported by two-way voice activated hands free communication. Seniors now have the freedom and peace-of-mind to go anywhere knowing that emergency medical assistance is only minutes away.

For independent and home-based seniors, First Response is currently investing its resources in the future needs of this ever-expanding demographic group by offering the latest home medical alert systems for elderly users with a landline connection or alternative cellular service (where a landline is not used). Latest generation technology is now being applied for these more traditional systems including fully waterproofed help alert buttons, wider extended range system signal coverage, longer console back-up battery life (for use during power outages), and more lightweight, durable materials for all system devices.

As a result of growing population trends within the senior demographic nationwide starting now, First Response has fortified its national emergency monitoring services by providing bi-lingual live operators to its emergency center staff for more widespread availability of its services throughout the United States. As with all First Response emergency medical systems, live certified EMS operators are available 24/7 to contact local emergency medical responders on the user's behalf, simply by the touch of a button.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/17/2014 -- As senior citizens and elderly adults seek to maintain their independence, mobility, and safety as they age, technologies have advanced that allow local 911 emergency responders to be alerted and dispatched to the individual's location when an unexpected medical accident, fall or emergency event occurs. First Response System, a leading national provider of personal emergency response systems (PERS) for independent seniors and health care providers, is pleased to announce the introduction and immediate roll-out of a selection of a new generation emergency alert necklace to further enhance their medical alert system products catalog nationwide.

The Center of Disease Control (CDC) in Washington, DC has found that falls are the leading injury and cause of injury deaths among elderly adults, increasing the importance and need for these at-risk individuals to adopt a personal medical alert system for the home or when traveling. A key component of these systems is the panic help button which can be worn comfortably as an adjustable necklace or bracelet. When the button is pressed, an alert signal via the type of medical alert system being used, is transmitted either through a land line, cell phone tower or satellite to the First Response national emergency monitoring center where live, industry-certified operators dispatch local EMS responders right to the user's emergency location.

Greg Ribaudo, General Manager of First Response System, states "We are thrilled to offer our existing clients and to potential new customers with the latest generation technologies in emergency alert necklaces for our landline, cellular and GPS medical alarm systems. These new product arrivals represent a significant advancement in performance, reliability and selection for consumers we have never previously made available in our industry."

As a result of these technological advancements, the First Response emergency alert necklace now features extended signal range coverage, longer battery life, a waterproof seal, and a more durable casing coupled with a recessed help button. These features make it easier to "touch and press," while further minimizing potential false alarms by the elderly user. Additionally, for independent seniors seeking more portability and mobility for travel, a new model/version of the emergency alert necklace is now fully integrated with state-of-the-art GPS tracking technologies and fall detection monitoring. Weekly "silent" testing by First Response of the first alert system makes each device maintenance-free and fully warranted.

First Response System is a national provider of affordable medical alert systems and emergency monitoring services, durable medical equipment and independent living products, and fall prevention education programs.

Brewster, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/23/2014 -- First Response System and its parent company, First Alarm Incorporated, a leading national provider of personal emergency response systems (PERS) for independent seniors and health care providers, have announced the company's official re-launch of its' nationally-recognized web site. Scheduled for release in June, the website is designed to more effectively address the present-day medical and wellness needs of America's independent senior and elderly population and to also speak to the family member caregivers and health care provider professionals that serves them.

The notable expansion of the First Response System web site coincides with America's transition of its vast health care system and to the growing stress on this system to deliver critical services to an ever-expanding aging population. Effective, affordable and accessible emergency medical alarm products and services have never been in more demand and the vehicles to communicate the existence and availability of these critical services to the general public and the professional health care provider industry has never been more urgent.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, America's elderly adult population will nearly double in size over the next 25 years. Falls are the leading injury and cause of injury deaths among elderly adults in research adopted by the Center of Disease Control. With these statistics in hand, personal medical alert systems have been recognized by physicians and health care professionals as a primary emergency medical monitoring device for seniors who wish to maintain their independence, mobility and safety.

Greg Ribaudo, General Manager of First Alarm, states "We are excited to re-introduce our First Response System brand to America's senior community and also to the families and professional health care provider networks that tirelessly serve to preserve their individual dignity and quality of life". He further states "We feel the depth, richness and originality of our web-based content and services we now offer represents a significant advancement in the way the medical alert industry is presented online".

Key changes that comprise the re-design and subsequent re-launch of First Response System include technical, editorial, informational, and media driven enhancements designed to further inform, educate and engage visitors to the site. These modern day enhancements and media-rich content offerings were also implemented to attract and engage adults, as senior caregiving has now extended to individuals and families of all ages.

Additionally, a professional channel is currently in development to be located on the site's home page and will act as a gateway portal for health care professionals and physicians seeking vital information on various emergency medical alert system solutions, durable medical equipment and supplies, and clinical information on fall prevention, screenings, home safety plans and patient or client referral.

Although medical alert systems for home and travel is still the main component of the site, drop-down menu bars and specific-themed content boxes on the newly revised home page will direct visitors to more detailed medical alert system topics plus other key service offerings of the company including dedicated channels on Fall Prevention, Medical Equipment and Independent Living Products, Client Reviews, and the soon-to-be released Professional Health Care Provider portal. Original content-driven articles and blogs will support each channel and will serve to keep the site constantly updated with comment sections for viewers to contribute content.

The most anticipated enhancement to First Response System is the insertion of a featured video on each main web page that articulates the page's text in an engaging visual and audible format. These video blogs often act as helpful tutorials and are scheduled to be rolled-out on a continual basis further emphasizing that original, fresh content is an essential ingredient of the site.

The pending re-launch of First Response System this summer is the latest in a series of initiatives by First Alarm Incorporated which also included the creation of a Fall Prevention Safety Zone program and speaker tour, Service Provider participant programs with major insurance network providers, and the adoption of new-generation GPS medical alert systems with fall detection technologies. First Response System is a national provider of medical alert systems and emergency monitoring services, durable medical equipment and independent living products, and fall prevention education.
