A Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is a device that alerts emergency services.

A Personal Response System (PRS), Emergency Response System (ERS), or medical signalling device, sometimes known as a PERS, is a device that provides both security and independence. It's a simple way to seek help from a friend, relative, or emergency services (police, fire department, or ambulance). All a user has to do if he needs help is press a button, which sends a message to an emergency response centre. His medical history is easily available, as are the names and phone numbers of his connections. The emergency response centre will interview the user to determine why they were contacted, and the centre will respond appropriately.


The global Personal Emergency Response Systems market is estimated to account for US$ 8,410.1 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2027. Increasing geriatric population is expected to propel growth of the global personal emergency response systems market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, geriatric population is expected to reach 2 billion by 2050, up from 900 million in 2015.


Furthermore, rising healthcare spending is projected to help the market develop. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), health expenditure in the United States is expected to expand at a 5.5 percent annual pace from 2018 to 2027, reaching almost US$ 6.0 trillion. In terms of value, North America dominated the worldwide personal emergency response systems market in 2019, accounting for 47.7% of the market, followed by Europe.


Every senior wishes to maintain their independence, which is becoming increasingly challenging as mobility declines with age. Seniors may achieve this aim more safely by adopting a simple medical alert system. That is why Comfort Keepers recommends SafetyChoice’s Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS). In an emergency, these gadgets provide a convenient, easy, and effective means to summon assistance.
