Lifeline

Lifeline is a U.S. personal emergency response and medical alert company focused on helping older adults live independently and summon assistance during emergencies. The business offers home and mobile medical alert systems, including fall detection, GPS-enabled devices, and a smartwatch connected to 24/7 response centers. Lifeline was originally founded as Lifeline Systems and became a long-standing leader in the personal emergency response category, serving millions of subscribers over several decades. In July 2021, Lifeline was acquired by Connect America, with Philips retaining an equity stake, and it continues to operate as an active commercial healthcare services brand.
