Assistive Technology Services Medical Alert Systems

Assistive Technology Services, or ATS, is a world leader among emergency medical alert system providers and is unusual in that it manufactures and sells two types of systems:

  • Non-monitored or self-monitored systems not connected to a 24/7 call response system. Instead, the system connects to a preset list of personal contacts and local emergency responders. These devices don’t have monthly fees.
  • Monitored medical alert systems that connect to a 24/7 call response system. Customers pay a monthly fee for this service.

Within these categories, ATS has a large variety of devices to choose from. In this guide, you’ll find information about the Assistive Technology Services medical alert systems, what they offer, how much the systems cost and read feedback from customers.

Customer Reviews of ATS

What Customers Like

Customers show appreciation for the systems offered by ATS and the protection provided for their older adult family members and loved ones. One family member expressed how the ATS device helped her mom: “Just wanted to send a note to you to say how happy we were that we had bought a Medical Alert Alarm from you for my 91 yr. old Mother in law. She had a fall at 11:30 p.m. and tried for a while to get up and then decided to press the button. Her friends arrived quickly to help her. She would have spent the night on the floor if she had not used the alarm. She lived alone at that time and we were worried about her so it was peace of mind you provided. Thanks so much.”

What Customers Don't Like

Some customers and family members had trouble using their device or getting assistance from customer service. After repeated false calls to one family member, made from her mom’s device, one customer expressed how difficult it was to work with customer service representatives: “I just called customer service this morning and am waiting for a call back. We swapped out the rechargeable battery in the pendant, but it has happened again. Nothing in the troubleshooting section of the owner’s manual to address this.”
