Emerging players

• GreatCall (Lively): GreatCall, now operating as Lively, offers mobile PERS devices and senior-focused health/safety services. Comparable to Rescue Alert in serving seniors with personal emergency response, differentiated by mobile-first device approach and connected health features.
• Aloe Care Health: Aloe Care Health is a newer PERS / elder care platform offering fall detection, voice-activated help buttons, and a caregiver companion app. Comparable to Rescue Alert in serving the senior safety and emergency response use case but differentiated by a more tech-forward, connected-care platform approach.

Listed alongside Rescue Alert in the Coherent Market Insights medical alert systems report and competes for the same direct-to-consumer senior customer with a similar product suite.
