The ADT Corporation, Boca Raton, Fla., announced the expansion of its health product portfolio with the introduction of the wearable On-The-Go Emergency Response System.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of three adults over the age of 65 in North America fall each year, and many who fall and suffer moderate to severe injuries are unable to manually call for help. ADT’s new solution, which operates on a leading nationwide cellular network, boasts connectivity to a specially trained team of ADT Health employees, fall detection sensors, and GPS location capabilities -- all in a single and easy-to-use device.

In the event of a fall, the device will detect the fall and connect the customer directly with ADT’s 24/7 professional monitoring center, where a specially trained ADT professional can determine if emergency responders or a caregiver should be dispatched to the customer’s location -- whether they are in their kitchen or a parking lot miles away from home. For other emergencies, customers can also connect directly to ADT’s professional monitoring center with a simple press of a button.
