Common Questions About Medical Guardian Alternatives
How is AssureOkay different from Medical Guardian?
Medical Guardian is a reactive system - you press a button when you need help. AssureOkay is proactive - we check on you daily, and if you don't respond, your family is alerted automatically.
Does AssureOkay require wearing a device?
No. AssureOkay works with your existing phone (including landlines). You don't need to wear or charge any additional device.
What if I can't press a button during an emergency?
This is exactly why AssureOkay's proactive approach works better. If you're unconscious, confused, or unable to reach a button, Medical Guardian can't help. AssureOkay will still alert your emergency contacts when you miss your check-in.
What Former Medical Guardian Customers Say
"I liked Medical Guardian's fall detection, but it went off every time I sat down quickly. AssureOkay's daily check-in is much more reliable."
— Patricia L., Age 72, Former Medical Guardian User
