A new feature has been added to Griffin Hospital’s “Lifeline” service, hospital officials announced.
Griffin offers residents Philips Lifeline, a medical alert service available through a subscription. It is designed for older people who live alone.
The device is worn like a necklace. If the person falls or suffers some other medical condition, they are able, through the push of a button, to be put in contact with a representative who can get them help.
Now the service offers “AutoAlert” to the Lifeline program. AutoAlert uses internal senses when a person falls — and can automatically place a call for help, even if the person is unable to press the button.
