Analyst Summary: Philips Lifeline HomeSafe
Conventional, "old fashioned" PERS that works at home only. Philips Lifeline is a leader in the medical alert system space, with a large number of users.
The "Homesafe" comes in two versions: the HomeSafe Standard, and the HomeSafe with Autoalert.
The difference between these two versions is the pendant. The HomeSafe with AutoAlert incorporates a fall detection algorithm, and so can alert the monitoring station if you have a fall, even if you are not able to press the alert "button".
The HomeSafe Standard does noit have this capability.
