This is a go anywhere mobile alert with fall detection. It is one of the products we reviewed in our comparative evaluation of mobile medical alerts.

This is a rebranded version of the Belle+ made by wholesaler Freeus. It has a couple of noteworthy features, in addition to those typical for products in this class.

  • it includes both GPS location technology and WiFi location technology, which might make it more accurate in knowing where you are at all times (we have not tested this);
  • it claims a battery life of 5 days, which is very good for this class of products.

Note that the current product sold by Medical Guardian looks like the image at the top of the page.

In our testing below, we also show images of a prior generation of the product, which was the one we tested originally.

  1. Does the Medical Guardian

    Does the Medical Guardian-Active Guardian have a wrist device, or only the pendant?  I am researching for  my sister, and she prefers a wrist activation device.  She fits the some care persona (D), and is cognitively fine.  

    Also, how long does this device take to charge?   While it's charging, it would likely be out of her reach, if a caretaker does the charging.  

    • Hi Bev: The pendant is as

      Hi Bev: The pendant is as illustrated in the photo above. You could probably attach it to your wrist, but I dont think that would work well, and the fall detection algorithm would likely not work in that mode. If you want a wrist model you would be better off with one of the other products we recommend.

      Re charging time, that is a good question. I dont remember exactly. However for most of these types of product they seem to charge in 2-3 hours, and that would be my guess.

      To be certain about these questions, I would double check with the company.

  3. hi, is there any pendant that
    hi, is there any pendant that doesn’t have flashing lights?
    is there any service that does a daily wellness check?
