America’s #1 Rated Medical Alert Provider

Bay Alarm Medical’s SOS All-In-One with Fall Detection system works on a 4G LTE network, which provides the higher bandwidth needed for more accurate location tracking and better coverage nationwide. The system includes an automatic fall detection button, a neck lanyard, a wearable button with a magnetic attachment and a wristband. The wearable button is lightweight and compact enough to fit comfortably on a keychain, or as a bracelet or necklace.

If you have health issues or have a loved one that may need immediate medical attention, consider an emergency response solution from Bay Alarm Medical. The In-Home Medical Alert System uses your existing landline and installs in seconds, and offers an extra-large help button and clear hands-free two-way audio. Its landline, cellular, and fall detection coverage are a bit more expensive than the competition, but the system delivered the fastest overall response times and the best portable help button range in our tests. That makes it our Editors' Choice for in-home medical alert systems.

Some medical alert smartwatches require a smartphone, but the Bay Alarm SOS Smartwatch is functional all on its own. It has two-way calling, so if you press the help button, you can talk directly to the dispatcher through the smartwatch (and you can also talk to your loved ones). It also features location tracking and a built-in step tracker. The battery life ranges from six to 18 hours, depending on usage, and the device is water resistant with a rating of IP67.

I received clarification on how to start an alarm by pressing the button for 5 seconds, not just press the button. Also, when I fell on 1/9/23, it did not set off the alert and I learned why.
Great customer service - thank you Cal and others. Having this alarm service for our loved one helped all of us sleep better knowing help was a button away.
I chose the SOS MICRO will fall-protection. I wear it as a wristband; next to my watch. Very lightweigh. I accidentally dropped the device; onto the kitchen counter; as I was inserting it into the charger. I immediately heard a woman's voice, calling out my name; and asking, "Are you alright? Do you need help?" My son received the same alert, simultaneously. I answered, "I am safe." This incident shows how fast the response-time is; yo a hard-fall. Excellent protection.

We used the SOS Micro device. The service fit our budget and needs. When it became necessary to close our account, Anthony helped me through the simple cancellation process. I recommend using Bay Alarm Medical.

I spoke with a service rep named Adam. He listened carefully to my problem with my device. He spent a half hour fixing and testing the device and it now appears to be in good working order. I appreciate the time he took working with the device as I depend on it completely if I fall.
