Abstract
An alert system includes centrally-located alarm device and a plurality of handheld remote devices, each remote device storing a unique identification code. Upon a primary depression of an externally-accessible actuation button, a mobile device in direct communication with each remote device transmits a predefined distress message to a predefined emergency responder which can be used to provide immediate assistance. Upon a secondary depression of the actuation button, each remote device transmits a wireless distress signal encoded with its unique identification code that in turn causes the alarm to emit an auditory and visual alarm. An alarm monitoring center is in communication with the alarm device and automatically receives historical data relating to activation of the alarm device, the historical data including, for instance, the identification code of the remote unit responsible for activation of the alarm device as well as the time and date of the transmitted distress signal.
