SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Caring.com, the nation's leading online destination for caregivers, has named QMedic to its list of top medical alert systems for 2019. The medical alert provider was recognized as the Best for Compliance and Activity Monitoring.
QMedic was one of fourteen companies that qualified for the list based on its demonstration of excellent customer service, transparency and affordability. With a variety of medical alert systems on the market, this list was developed to help seniors and their loved ones easily identify those with the highest overall value. As a part of the review process, Caring.com also identified key features to look for in a system such as waterproofing, fall detection technology, location monitoring and mobile help button.
