A PERS, also called a Personal Response System (PRS), Emergency Response System (ERS), or medical signaling device, is an answer to the need for both security and independence. It is a simple way to call for help from a friend, relative, or emergency services (police, fire department, or ambulance). If a user needs help, he simply presses a button, which sends a message into an emergency response center. Information about his medical history and names and phone numbers of contact people is quickly available. The emergency response center will talk with the user to determine the reason they were contacted, and will respond appropriately.
