A PERS has three components: a small radio transmitter, a console connected to a telephone, and an emergency response center that monitors calls. Transmitters are lightweight battery-powered devices that are to be worn around the neck or on the wrist or can also be put into a pocket. In an emergency the transmitter’s help button is pressed which sends a signal to the console, the console then automatically dials one or more emergency telephone numbers to call for help. Typically, a PERS is programmed to telephone an emergency response center. Finally, the center identifies the nature of your emergency which involves reviewing your medical history and checking who should be notified and then notifies the selected people.

The Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) Market Trend Analysis

Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) Market Growth Driver- Increasing Geriatric Population and Rising Health Disorders Leading to Hospitalisation

  • Personal Emergency Response Systems are specifically developed for older adults who are left alone for a particular time of the day as they have a higher risk of falling as they age, and hence, the rise in the number of old people is certainly the reason behind the greater demand for such alert systems.
  • Recent Studies have concluded that around 30% of people who are over the age of 65 fall every year, and more than 50% of people over the age of 80 fall every year.

Such disorder creates an even greater risk if they stay alone.
  • Also, when it comes to hospitalisation, older adults have a similar average length of stay when compared with adults 45 to 64 years, but older adults require more support after discharge, due to functional disability. having an in-home caregiver can help to an extent but this does not help in every situation. And such emerging risks are hence driving the need for Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) that can be with people all the time and can help them by alerting others when needed.
