The Lifeline Story

​

In 1974, a noted psychologist and gerontologist named Dr. Andrew S. Dibner founded Lifeline Systems. It answered a question he had often wondered: “What would an elderly person do if he or she were alone and needed help?”

​

In its early years, Lifeline Systems was sold primarily through hospitals and other healthcare facilities as a community service. As the company grew and technology advanced, it began selling its services directly to individuals and healthcare professionals. Innovation continued to be a cornerstone of its mission to deliver first-in-class solutions to its subscribers.

What is Lifeline?

​

Lifeline provides 24/7 emergency assistance in the form of a discrete necklace that is worn at all times. Should the client experience a sudden fall, they need simply to push the button and emergency services will be dispatched. The technology is so advanced that the device can detect a fall - so if you are unable to push the button, you can rest assured that the help you need is coming!
