Provides electronic equipment which connects frail elderly individuals or people who have disabilities with participating hospitals, paramedics or other sources of emergency assistance. A unit is connected via the telephone line and a pendant is worn by the individual. If the person needs assistance, they press the button on the pendant and the unit dials 911 who will dispatch emergency responders. If the smoke detector is set off, the unit dials 911 and they dispatch the fire department. The system will work if the person is outside within 500 feet of the base unit.
