Listen to Real Calls
Most emergency calls only require assistance from family members or neighbors, with no need for paramedics. However, our dispatchers are ready to handle all situations and levels of severity, to take care of your loved ones needs. Listen to real calls from real Bay Alarm Medical customers in different situations.
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.
Bay Alarm Medical has the fastest average response time of any company we reviewed, at an average of 10 seconds, meaning that customers get the help they need sooner than with other companies. Bay Alarm Medical also scored highly in this category thanks to its generous 30-day free trial period, easy-to-navigate website with a live customer service chat feature, and its A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Overall, Bay Alarm Medical offers affordable and streamlined on-the-go and in-the-home medical alert systems and services that help seniors live more comfortably. With plenty of affordable add-on accessories and versatile on-the-go options ranging from the GPS help button to an SOS smartwatch — there’s a device that fits every unique need. As a family-owned business for decades, they’ve provided life-saving medical alert systems to over 100,000 customers and live by their code of ethics to provide transparency and protection for aging adults.
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.
