Latest News - Singapore Leading Home Emergency Rescue Provider For The Eldely

May 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Of late, incidences of elderly people dying alone in their homes are on the raise. With Singapore's ageing population threatening to multiply by threefolds by 2030, emergency assistance for people needing care becomes a pertinent issue for the nation.

Mitigating the plight of this ageing population, Active Medical (Asia Pacific) Pte Ltd, has launched eAlert! Personal Emergency Response System (PERS). Specially research and designed in the US, the eAlert! is the world's first and smallest 2-way voice emergency pendant communicator that provides 24/7 emergency assistance at a touch of a button.

“The rapid increase of Singapore’s ageing population is a serious problem for our country. With more caregivers having to take care of more than one elderly person; providing timely medical assistance in an emergency is now a necessity. The eAlert! is a tested and proven system that connects the user instantly to a care specialist at the touch of a button.

In an emergency, timing is everything. After a fall, 90% of people who get help within one hour will continue to live independently, but after 12 hours without any aid, only 10% of the people can continue to live independently at home. Hence, as work demands continue to dominate the schedules of caregivers in Singapore, it is increasingly important for the elderly to be able to live independently. This can be done with the use of eAlert! which will bring peace of mind to the caregivers while providing the elderly with a sense of independence at home.
