Abstract
A personal emergency response system implemented as a conference bridge on a remote computing network. Upon receiving an alert from an individual in need of aid, a conference including audio and/or video connection is established. A predetermined list of parties is coupled to the conference, including friends, caregivers, medical professionals, emergency responders and others as stored in a configuration database specific to the individual via a web interface. The database record may also contain vital information about the individual, in additional to demographic data, location information, history and other factual information. Medical telemetry may be obtained in real-time and disseminated among the conference participants. Other parties may be dynamically joined to the conference as needed upon a conference participant utilizing DTMF codes or other means to request the others to join.
