Abstract: The present disclosure is an emergency response system that has a wearable device that receives an input from a user and transmits data indicative of the input. In addition, the system has a base station communicatively coupled to the wearable device that receives the data indicative of the input and transmits a test signal requesting a test be performed. Further, the system comprises logic that receives the test signal and initiates a call to the base station based upon the test signal.

Abstract: A system for 2-way data and voice communication with a user A base station in communicates with a response center. A portable device has a cellular transceiver module, a GPS module and an emergency call button, and is in two-way communication with a response center for communicating the location of the portable device to the response center in response to activation of the emergency call button. A wearable pendant has a panic button, and outputs a signal in response to activation of the panic button. The portable device receives the signal and contacts the response center in response to the signal when the portable device is not in proximity to the base station; and the base station receives the signal and the base station communicates with the response center when the portable device is in proximity of the base station.

Abstract: A method of 2-way data and voice communication with a user utilizing a portable device having a cellular transceiver module, a GPS module and an emergency call button is disclosed. The method includes determining whether the portable device is in proximity of the base station; powering down the GPS, placing the portable device into sleep mode and sending a signal to the base station indicating that said portable device is in proximity of the base station when the portable device is in proximity to the base station; and activating and fully powering the cellular transceiver module and activating and fully powering said GPS module when the portable device is not in proximity of said base station.

Abstract: A method of two-way data and voice communication with a user utilizing a portable device having a cellular transceiver module, GPS module, an emergency call button, and a base station comprising the steps of storing a first user profile and at least a second user profile. The user profile includes a user identification, a contact person and a first location data, storing a second user profile having at least a second contact person and a second location data, powering the GPS module. The user profile collecting GPS location data from the GPS module and storing location into a memory location, causing at least one of the portable device and said base station to communicate with a response center and transmitting the GPS location data to the response center. The response center selecting a response as a function of the GPS location data, first location data, and second location data.
