Modern Alternative to Traditional Medical Alert Systems
Get the same peace of mind without expensive equipment, long contracts, or monthly fees over $40
Why People Are Switching from Traditional Medical Alert Systems
Traditional medical alert systems like Life Alert have been around for decades, but the technology hasn't kept up with modern needs. If you're paying $40-70 per month, dealing with bulky equipment, or locked into long-term contracts, you're not alone in feeling frustrated.
AssureOkay represents the next generation of safety monitoring. Instead of expensive base stations and uncomfortable pendants, we use technology you already have - your phone. Plus, we add innovative features like AI-powered check-in calls that work with any phone, even landlines.
The Problem with Traditional Systems
Traditional medical alert systems typically cost $30-70 per month, require $100-300 in upfront equipment costs, involve 1-3 year contracts, need professional installation, and only work at home with their specific equipment.
AssureOkay costs $8.99 per month for the Plus plan with AI phone calls, with plans starting at $4.99 when you only need app and SMS check-ins. No equipment fees, no contracts, no installation, and it works anywhere in the world with your existing phone.

Common Questions About Medical Alert Alternatives
Is AssureOkay as reliable as Life Alert?
AssureOkay provides reliable safety monitoring using different technology. While Life Alert uses a push-button system, AssureOkay uses scheduled check-ins to proactively verify you're okay. This approach actually catches more situations because you don't need to be conscious or able to reach a button.
Our system automatically alerts your family if you miss a check-in, meaning help comes even if you're unconscious, confused, or unable to call for help yourself.
What if I fall and can't reach my phone?
This is a valid concern, and it's why AssureOkay uses scheduled check-ins rather than only push-button alerts. If you fall and can't reach your phone to check in, your emergency contacts will be automatically notified when you miss your scheduled check-in time.
With traditional systems, you must be conscious and able to press the button. With AssureOkay's check-in system, your family is alerted regardless of whether you can physically reach a device.
Pro Tip: Set multiple check-ins per day (morning and evening) for faster response times.
Do I need a smartphone to use AssureOkay?
No! While AssureOkay works great on smartphones, our Plus plan includes AI phone check-ins that work with ANY phone:
- Traditional landline phones
- Basic flip phones or cell phones
- Smartphones (if you have one)
The AI calls you at your scheduled time, asks if you're okay, and you simply respond with "yes" or "I'm fine." It's actually simpler than many traditional systems.
Does it work when I'm away from home?
Yes! This is a major advantage over traditional systems. AssureOkay works anywhere you have your phone:
- At home, obviously
- At your children's or friends' homes
- On vacation or traveling
- At the doctor's office or hospital
- Shopping, at the park, or anywhere else
Traditional systems with GPS tracking charge extra ($10-20/month) and require wearing a special GPS pendant. AssureOkay includes mobile protection at no additional cost.
