The explosion of communication technology in recent years has made life for all of us a lot safer in many respects. A wonderful advance in caring for seniors and people with disabilities is the personal emergency response system (PERS). What some have been waiting for is a PERS system that also has GPS capability.

We recently came across the GeoSkeeper (TM), offered by Aerotel Medical Systems.

Aerotel Medical System has just launch their new SKeeper family, called GeoSkeeper – a “peace of mind” product built for elderly, chronically ill, children or lone workers, as well as their relatives and caregivers. This GeoSkeeper offers an improved level of personal safety beyond existing PERS (Personal Emergency Response System) and traditional social alarm systems.

While the GPS feature is a tremendous advantage, the literature available doesn’t make it clear how the PERS feature (or the GPS feature, for that matter) operates. The device appears to be wearable, with a panic button, and two-way voice communication ability. It appears to be a good product, but more detailed information would be good.

At BASK Enterprises, we are proud of our state-of-the-art central station (our monitoring service) that makes our PERS system the best available. And you can be sure we will be looking for the possibility of adding GPS tracking in the future.
