She could have died." Cookie S.

What is Alerting and Monitoring?
Monitoring measures information such as physical condition such as blood pressure, sugar levels, etc. Alerting is reporting of the monitored information. The are two different things. Many systems are able to monitor, but few have a robust alerting capability and even fewer provide both.
Alerting is a very important part of the equation. When someone needs assistance during an emergency situation; someone needs to be immediately notified. In those cases where the user is unable to call for help and automated solution is required. This complication requires robust and accurate monitoring.
Various sensors are used to monitor parameters. Mobile individuals often require sensors that are battery-powered. Sensors send the data to be analyzed. When something goes wrong an audible or visible alarm is activated. Some robust alerting systems can provide an email alert, text message or even a voice call.
