Medical Guardian Review

What Is It? How Does It Work?

Medical Guardian is a medical alert system. Its intended use is for elderly people who may or may not live alone. However, it’s also very useful for anyone with a physical impairment who may not be able to summon medical help for themselves in the event of an emergency. When such an emergency occurs, the person simply activates the Medical Guardian device by voice or touch, and emergency help is summoned.

The cost of Medical Guardian is considered very affordable since they have six different tiers of service. You can expect to pay between $29.95 and $39.95 per month.
