Market Dynamics
Active Major Players
In January 2023, to introduce iPhone and Android-based medical alert systems in Australia, FallCall Solutions and HSC Technology Group declared their international partnership. Through this partnership, the FallCall application on a user's iPhone or Android device will be integrated with the HSC Talius Smart Care System and subsequent-generation Bluetooth medical alert devices.
They are thrilled to scale FallCall globally and to provide a whole new electronic Personal Emergency Response System (ePERS) to the expanding age-in-place demographic searching for better safety solutions around the world by cooperating with such a forward-thinking firm as HSC Technology Group.
In addition, in April 2023, a few of the medical alert devices and accessories in LogicMark, Inc.'s portfolio are now offered for sale at Amazon's American shop, according to LogicMark, Inc., which also offers personal emergency response systems (PERS), health communications devices, and technology for the expanding care economy.
The Demand for Personal Emergency Response Systems in Older People
Studies by Clarity, AARP, MetLife, and others show that older persons fear losing their independence even more than they fear dying. Yet the majority of people are unaware that the biggest danger to elderly independence is falling.
Every year falls cause more than 2.8 million injuries that require treatment in emergency rooms, including over 800,000 hospital admissions and more than 27,000 fatalities. Every 11 seconds, an elderly person who has fallen requires emergency department care; every 19 minutes, an elderly person who has fallen dies. An easy-to-use personal emergency response system called Always Best Care PERS makes sure that elderly people who live at home always receive prompt assistance.
A Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) base-station hub with additional Remote Life Safety (RLS) features is called Clear Arch HOME. Patients can feel safer in and about their homes even without a landline phone thanks to the "help button" neck pendant, wristband, and optional Fall Button. With two-way communication, 365 days a year, U.S. emergency monitoring, and a sizable battery backup, Clear Arch HOME gives patients and caregivers who are living independently more peace of mind.
High Cost of Personal Emergency Response Systems
Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) acceptance and usage can be significantly influenced by the price of the accompanying equipment and services. Based on the PERS device's type, functionality, and manufacturer, the initial cost can vary significantly. While less expensive systems with a wearable pendant and a base unit might be available, more expensive systems with fall detection, GPS tracking, and other features might be available.
Users often pay a service provider a monthly monitoring fee on top of the initial equipment expenditures. The expense of operating the round-the-clock monitoring center, which responds to emergencies and sends help when required, is covered by this fee. Depending on the supplier and the quality of service, the monthly cost may change.
Limited Technological Awareness
Older generations in particular may have low technological awareness because they did not grow up with the same level of exposure to digital technology as newer generations. It could be difficult for them to learn how to use new technology or to comprehend their capabilities.
The digital gap, in which some people or communities have less access to and competency with technology than others, can be exacerbated by a lack of technological knowledge. Access to educational resources, employment prospects, and basic amenities may be impacted by this gap.
Segment Analysis
The global personal emergency response systems market is segmented based on product, end-users and region.
The medical alarm system segment accounted for approximately 45.6% of the market share
An in-home console or wearable mobile device with a button push to summon emergency medical assistance is referred to as a medical alert system (also known as a personal emergency response system or PERS). It connects to a call center staffed with qualified representatives who evaluate the situation and either send regional emergency services or alert predetermined emergency contacts. Additionally, there are other, more specialized systems that offer more particular functionality than medical alert systems, such as epilepsy devices and prescription reminders.
When need emergency assistance, a medical alert device can connect to a live operator at a call center within seconds of your call. Most platforms support over 100 different languages. Using GPS, mobile devices automatically broadcast the current location. The registered address is transmitted via in-home devices. Automatic fall prevention, activity tracking, caregiver reports, medication reminders, patient monitoring, and telemedicine services are just a few of the capabilities that medical alert systems can provide.
Geographical Penetration
North America segment accounted for approximately 39.6% of the market share
North America has been a dominant force in the global personal emergency response systems market. Chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and mobility problems are becoming more common. For those with these diseases, PERS devices are crucial because they guarantee quick access to medical care in case of crises. With the emergence of more advanced PERS devices, such as wearable alternatives, mobile apps, and GPS tracking, technology has advanced. These developments increase the use and efficiency of PERS devices, spurring market expansion.
According to a recent Forbes Health study of U.S. people conducted by OnePoll, 54% of American adults or the adults they care for report utilizing a medical alert system. Additionally, 86% of those surveyed claim that a medical alert system has at least once rescued them (or the person they care for) from an incident. Upon closer inspection, 36% and 50%, respectively, claim that their medical alert system rescued them from an occurrence that might have evolved into a tragedy.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 created unprecedented challenges for industries worldwide, including the global personal emergency response systems market. The pandemic increased worries about the security and well-being of at-risk groups, notably seniors who were more likely to experience severe COVID-19 sickness. The need for PERS products and services that enabled remote monitoring of people's health and safety, including fall detection and emergency response capabilities, increased as a result.
The trend of elderly wanting to "age in place," or stay in their homes as they age, rather than moving into assisted living or nursing facilities, was hastened by the pandemic. PERS systems, which provide a sense of security and access to help when required, were crucial in fostering this tendency.
Key Developments
- In May 2023, HandsFree Health has increased the scope of its product line with the addition of a new personal emergency response speaker (PERS). The new speakers are a part of the business's line of cutting-edge, secure medical alert gadgets, which also include smartwatches and pendants.
