Abstract
A mobile personal emergency response system includes a security fob configured to be manually activated, and wirelessly transmit an emergency alert signal when activated. A mobile device contains an emergency application, which is responsive to the emergency alert signal. Upon receipt of the emergency alert signal, the emergency application obtains user profile data corresponding to the mobile device, obtains GPS location coordinates of the mobile device, and wirelessly transmits the user profile data and GPS location coordinates to a dispatch center. A location database is accessed by the dispatch center and provides an identity of a selected public service answering point corresponding to the received GPS location coordinates. A dispatcher of the dispatch center contacts the selected public service answering point and provides the user profile data and a location of the mobile device.
