Dr. K talks with Richard Caro, PhD, a co-founder of Tech-Enhanced Life, who recently spent several months testing out wearable medical alert systems. They discuss:
Although we don’t discuss it in depth in the episode, Consumer Reports did publish an article on medical alert systems in June 2014 (updated July 2015).

However, she likes the fact that there are over 60 comments, sharing information regarding customer service, contracts, and other aspects of the service.
