Do you have a loved one that has the tendency to fall or maybe a medical condition? Well V.ALRT Personal Emergency Alert Device can help make sure they are safe. Most alert notification systems require you to purchase the necessary hardware and then have a monthly subscription.

What makes the V.ALRT Personal Emergency Alert Device so compelling is that you purchase the hardware and then, rather than connecting you to a central monitoring service, it leverages the power of your loved ones smartphone. In an emergency, it is the smartphone that makes contact. There’s no monthly subscription, and there is no need to deal with any sort of middleman. Instead, when there is an issue the system sends a message from the person using its cell phone to one of three different contacts.


The core of the V.ALRT Personal Emergency Alert Device is a round button-like device. To turn on the system you press the center of the button and hold it for at least 10 seconds. That puts the device into pairing mode. It also works for up to a year without needing to be recharged which is great because sometimes you forget to charge.

The V.ALRT, Personal Emergency Alert Device, is an ergonomically designed device that can be carried discreetly in a pocket or a bag, worn on the wrist with the included band or around the neck as a pendant. Using Bluetooth® SMART (Bluetooth 4.0 LE) technology in association with a software application from VSN Mobil, the V.ALRT initiates calls and text messages from a smartphone. With the push of a button, the V.ALRT pings the smartphone to send personalized texts to three pre-selected contacts. The customizable message will indicate that help is needed and also provide location information using the GPS feature on the smartphone (when available). The V.ALRT application can also be set to initiate a follow-up phone call from the smartphone to get the attention of the recipient.

The V.ALRT Personal Emergency Alert Device can be worn in a few different ways such as a necklace or bracelet. The hardware button connects to an app on the phone used by the person being “monitored.” Apps are available in the iTunes App Store, the Play Store and the Amazon App Store. In other words, this system works with the vast majority of smart phones and tablets currently on the market.  You can put in a text message address or ask the system to initiate a call when there is an emergency. You can also customize the message that gets sent.


This is perfect as I am gifting it to my mother-in-law. She is in her 70's and lives by herself. We worry because you never know when something can happen! Now, with the V.Alrt, I don't have to worry and know she always has a way to contact us in a emergency!
