Personal Response Systems: An International Report of a New Home Care Service

By Andrew S Dibner

This important new book describes the origins, developments, and current status of personal response systems, a new means for persons at risk who live alone to get help in case of emergency. In Personal Response Systems, experts from ten countries report on the status, achievements, and challenges involved in setting up, distributing, and operating personal response systems (PRS). Experienced authors from a variety of backgrounds describe the technology, economics, and social effects of PRS, and its integration into existing health and housing programs. Professionals involved in providing health services will find important information about the most efficient and cost effective designs of personal response systems.
