Types of medical alarm systems

Medical alarm system one way intercom

Medical alarms systems in the form of one way intercoms enable sound or speech to be transmitted in one direction only. They may be useful when a disabled person is in one room of the house and the caregiver is in another.

The disabled person can then speak to the caregiver. Most baby alarm systems work in this fashion. They may have a transmitter and receiver that plug into standard 13 amp plug sockets allowing them to be used between any rooms in the house. Alternatively, they may have a portable transmitter and receiver which are battery operated. This allows the user and the caregiver to move around but remain in contact, even in the garden or garage.
 

Advantages: cheap and easy to obtain
 

Disadvantages in some situations could be considered an intrusion of privacy.
