- Sara Clinton's Experience
Asthma; The Chronic Danger
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that affects the bronchial system. It results in inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. In addition, it can lead to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. According to the stats provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 13 people in the United States suffer from asthma.
Asthma affects people of all ages and often starts during childhood. Triggers such as pollen, exercise, viral infections, or cold air, often worsen asthma. Furthermore, it can lead to asthma attacks in extreme conditions.

Who is Sara?
Sara is a 32-year-old woman. She had been living with asthma since childhood. She managed her condition with medication and lifestyle modifications throughout, but anxiety at times often leads to severe asthma attacks. Her routine is disturbed mainly during seasonal changes or exposure to allergens. These attacks leave her breathless, terrified, and unable to reach help.
Sara got concerned about her safety, particularly because she lives alone. After thorough searching, she found a plan for medical alert devices that met her needs. Sara eventually gave it a try. She chose the Medalertcare.com smartwatch for monitoring her health rates and breathing patterns, which can generate automatic alerts. It even helped her parents track her location with the built-in GPS.
The Unexpected Turn
One night, when Sara was at her parent’s home but alone, she experienced a severe asthma attack. She struggled to breathe, her chest tightened, and she felt the panic increasing in her. Remembering her medical alert smartwatch was on her arm, she immediately sent an alert to her parents and the support center. Upon receiving the alert, an agent contacted her instantly to analyze her situation. Through the built-in two-way communication feature, she was able to explain her condition. As a result, the agent dispatched emergency medical help in time, and contacted her parents as well. Therefore, the paramedic and her parent arrived on time and Sara got the help she needed.
The rapid response provided by the medical alert device significantly helped overcome the after effects of the attack. Sara was administered immediately with medical attention, including oxygen therapy and medication.
The incident highlighted the crucial role of medical alert devices in managing chronic conditions like asthma. Furthermore, it provided a sense of satisfaction to Sara’s family that she was attended timely.
Since the incident, Sarah has continued to use her medical alert device.
