We Know: All About Medical/Personal Alarms What are medical/personal alarms? These are small alarms meant to be worn by someone on their person, usually around the neck or wrist. If the person experiences a fall or medical emergency, he or she can activate the personal alarm to seek immediate emergency attention. The alarm signal either goes to the person's telephone or else directly to a medical alert company. Most of these companies charge a monthly subscription fee. They can send whatever help they deem is necessary, whether it's an ambulance, neighbor, or relative. Most companies charge between $25-$30 per month for monitoring service.
