The Lively Mobile Plus medical alert system is an all-in-one alert device, meaning there’s no base station or other equipment needed. When the alarm is pressed on the wearable, the device alerts an emergency response center. The device is equipped with GPS technology, allowing users to access emergency response when worn in and away from the home. When the device is used in an emergency situation, responding operators use GPS to locate the user and send help.
Automatic Fall Detection
Fall detection is an important add-on feature—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that one in four adults over 65 years old experiences a fall each year. This Lively medical alert device features a sensor in the lanyard that detects sudden movement; however, some users find it lacks sensitivity and doesn’t respond as quickly as desired.
When I tested the fall detection function by dropping the device on carpet, it didn’t respond. When I dropped it a second time with more force, it still didn’t respond. When I threw the device on a linoleum floor, it placed an emergency call after about a minute.
Bay Alarm Medical On-the-Go GPS Help Button
This one-the-go button is lightweight and compact enough to fit comfortably on a keychain. It provides high bandwidth needed for accurate location tracking and better coverage nationwide.
Real-Time Emergency Connectivity
I tested the timing of the device’s emergency response connectivity with a timer in hand. I pressed the alarm. After a few seconds, I heard a telephone ring until an operator picked up my call, a process that took a total of 20 seconds. I told the operator I was testing my device. She assured me that the device was working properly and that she could hear me clearly.
Wearability
For a person of average height, the device rests at chest level. The alarm is a small recessed square in the middle of the device. Some medical alert necklaces are so sensitive that they can alarm from the weight of clothing pressing against the button when the user leans forward. In the days that I wore the Lively device, I never experienced a misfire with the alarm.
Since this Lively wearable is an all-in-one device, it must be removed nightly and placed on a small charger. Other medical alert devices I’ve used have in two parts: the necklace and the “telephone” that connects to a monitoring center. Those devices remain plugged into an outlet and never need charging. Although I placed the Lively charger in plain sight, I frequently forgot to put it back on when I woke up in the morning.
Unlike many other medical alert systems, the Lively device is waterproof and can be worn in the shower, a place where accidents in the home are likely to occur. I showered while wearing the device, intentionally getting both soap and water on it. The device and lanyard dried quickly, and I didn’t feel as if I was wearing a wet rope around my neck when I got out of the shower.
Ease of Use
The device is simple to set up and use. There’s a telephone number on the website if an individual needs help with ordering or preparing to use the device.
