Our Competition

The medical alarm industry is small but rapidly growing . People ask me all the time about competitors. I think like any other business, there are good competitors and less scrupulous competitors. The consumer needs to do their homework. One good place to check for the less scrupulous is www.consumeraffairs.com. (although I don't think they did enough homework on one of their recommended vendors), Some of the best companies in the industry can be found at www.medicalalertmonitoringassociation.com. , MAMA, the industry website. Pioneer Emergency is proud to be a founding member. Quality competitors are concerned with their clients, and furthering the professional growth of the industry. MAMA does not filter unscrupulous companies from joining, and in fact encourages new members. So far, none of the less scrupulous has joined. Perhaps they are too embarrassed to sit with their peers. Anyway, check the reputations, make sure you are not locked into a long term agreement, and whatever system you decide be sure to press the button and test the system at least monthly. For more details on selecting a quality provider you can also get our free report at medical alert guide.

what a great article, I really appreciate your voice and the knowledge you are putting out there into the public I didn’t even know this but there are
medical alert bracelets out there now that are really taking the stigma out of medical alarms
