- Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) are vital solutions designed to ensure immediate access to emergency assistance, particularly for elderly individuals and those with chronic health conditions. These systems typically include wearable devices connected to monitoring centers or mobile networks for real-time response
- The demand for PERS is significantly driven by the growing aging population, increased focus on independent living, and rising awareness of personal health and safety. A substantial portion of global demand comes from seniors aged 65 and above, especially in developed countries with a high prevalence of single-person households
- The North America region stands out as one of the dominant markets for PERS, supported by its robust healthcare infrastructure, high adoption of medical alert technologies, and favorable reimbursement policies
- For instance, U.S.-based healthcare providers and insurers have increasingly integrated PERS into remote patient monitoring programs, leading to widespread use across home care and assisted living settings. The region is also a leader in innovation, with companies launching mobile PERS and voice-activated emergency systems
- Globally, PERS devices rank as one of the most critical technologies in elder care solutions, following home monitoring sensors. They play a key role in reducing hospital admissions, providing peace of mind to families, and improving emergency response efficiency for vulnerable populations
