Qmedic

QMedic is a provider of two-way communication response systems that customizes how you want your call for help to be answered. With QMedic, your answering operator will immediately dispatch medical aid or put you in touch with caregivers and family. The wristband or pendant is waterproof, and the battery never needs charging, which means you can wear your device day and night. QMedic offers emergency response 24/7.

There’s no fall detection provided with these devices. Instead, detailed tracking allows for viewing and following established patterns — if something seems outside of standard behavior patterns and a wellness call goes unanswered, you can expect to be contacted by the emergency operator.

QMedic offers two plans: the Cellular and the Mobile GPS. The Cellular plan is an at-home device, but it runs on cellular networks and requires no landline. The Mobile GPS allows users to leave home independently.

QMedic Cellular medical alert system

The QMedic Cellular medical alert system works wirelessly, making it ideal for those without a landline and living in an area with a reliable cell phone signal. The system provides two-way communication with operators through a base station and speaker, as well as an emergency button worn on the wrist or around the neck. The cost is $300, and shipping is free — you pay annually.

QMedic Mobile GPS medical alert system

People who spend a lot of time outside their home will benefit from the QMedic Mobile GPS medical alert system. This is a water-resistant and rain-safe device worn around the neck on a pendant. The GPS tracking technology monitors where you are and sends help when you press the button. The battery stays charged for 14 days, and the charging station lights up to let you know when it’s fully charged. The cost is $400; shipping is free, and you pay annually.

QMedic offers caregivers support and resources — the caregiver dashboard provides family members and loved ones an opportunity to monitor an individual’s activity. It’s easy for you to make sure your parent or friend is wearing the device, and you can check sleeping and activity habits.

There are two QMedic UL-listed monitoring centers based in the U.S. As soon as you send a request for help, the company promises that your call will be answered in an average of 30 seconds. If you call but cannot communicate, the company will dispatch emergency services and connect with your emergency contacts.

QMedic’s monitoring centers are fully operational 24/7. If you accidentally call the emergency center, there’s no need to worry — just explain to the operator it was an accident so there’s no charge.

QMedic is a good medical alert company with a reliable product. It has monitoring centers in the United States and offers plans for both your home and when you’re on the go. The company doesn’t provide features like fall detection or waterproof GPS devices, but its systems are reliable and have a long battery life. They also come with standard monitoring and caregiver support.
