Abstract
Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) allow an individual to contact 911 or family members by pushing a button on a pendant which communicates with the PERS console to dial the emergency numbers. While simple to use, traditional PERS devices have limitations, some of which are overcome with more recently introduced home monitoring systems. This paper discusses PERS benefits, barriers to use, options, and alternatives that are currently available or in development.
