Abstract

A personal emergency response system oriented to mobile individuals uses cell phones or other wireless devices as sources of an emergency indicating signal. A personal profile associated with that signal can be evaluated, along with location information to determine which emergency device(s) should be activated and which local messages should be produced to alert other individuals in the area as to the existence of an emergency.
