Philips Lifeline is for living with other age-related conditions

In a study of older adults, those using the Lifeline medical alert service reported significantly greater ability to go about daily routine.

As people get older, they face a greater risk of stroke, and are more prone to developing chronic diseases like arthritis, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Seniors don't see or hear as well as they used to, and it can be harder for them to move around the house with the same confidence as they did before.

Each of these conditions, accompanied by anxieties about falling or being incapacitated, can lead to less physical activity and a decline in their ability to live on their own.
