By wearing or keeping the panic button within reach, the elderly person can quickly and easily summon help if they experience a fall, sudden illness, or other emergency situation.

Panic button alarms can be used in various settings, such as homes, schools, offices, and public places, to improve safety and deter criminal activity. For instance, if an intruder breaks into a home, a panic button alarm can be used to summon help and scare off the intruder.
