There is a special button that is worn around the neck. If a person does not want to wear the button around their neck they can get a medical alert bracelet. If a person is experiencing a medical emergency all they need to do is push the button. Included with this medical button is a two way speaker. A person will be able to take to an emergency response operator on the other end so they can get the help they need. This plan includes a landline phone so a person can also call for help if needed. The landline is option. There is another plan where no landline is needed. These medical buttons will be able to connect wirelessly to an emergency operator.
