1. A personal alarm system comprising:
- a portable transmitter which sends a signal to a cellular relay station, where the signal includes latitude and longitudinal position, pulse, blood pressure, voice, and temperature of the user;
wherein the portable transmitter includesa transmitter encasement,a global positioning receiver positioned within the transmitter encasement which determines the position of the user from the signals from a plurality of global positioning satellites,an electronic transmitter positioned within the transmitter encasement and electronically connected to the global positioning receiver, thereby transmitting the signal to the cellular relay station, anda display screen secured to the cornice of the transmitter encasement and electronically connected to the global positioning receiver thereby displaying the latitude and longitudinal information; and
a receiver which receives the relayed signal from the cellular relay station, thereafter displaying the contents of the signal.
