Prioritizing Senior Health and Safety: Why Response Times Matter More Than Ever
Becklar Personal Health and Safety allows seniors to feel secure, supported, and cared for, especially in moments of crisis.
When an emergency arises, every second counts. For senior citizens, this couldn’t be more true. As we age, our bodies naturally become more susceptible to injury, slower to recover, and more vulnerable to complications. This makes the speed and quality of emergency response not just important—but absolutely critical.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls are the leading cause of injury among adults aged 65 and older. These accidents account for nearly 1 million fall-related hospitalizations each year in the United States alone. Even more alarming is the fall death rate, which in 2021 reached approximately 78% per 100,000 older adults. This staggering statistic highlights just how vital it is that seniors receive immediate attention when emergencies occur.

The faster a qualified operator can assess a situation and dispatch the appropriate help, the greater the chance of avoiding long-term damage, or even saving a life. In the world of personal health and safety, especially for older adults, response time can mean the difference between a minor incident and a life-altering crisis.
Becklar Monitoring: Setting a New Standard in Emergency Response
That’s why Becklar Personal Health and Safety is proud to provide native integration with services from Becklar Monitoring, the industry leader in critical event monitoring and response solutions. At the heart of these services is an unshakable commitment to innovation and excellence, both of which are critical when lives are on the line.
Becklar has developed a groundbreaking, patented AI-powered customer engagement platform known as Becklar Engage. This advanced technology helps the monitoring team achieve the fastest response times in the industry. By combining human expertise with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, Becklar Engage has revolutionized how emergency calls are handled—ensuring swift, accurate, and efficient responses.
The platform uses a highly sophisticated interactive voice assistant and natural language processing to interact with callers, gathering essential information in real time. This contextual data allows Becklar’s highly trained operators to respond with precision and confidence. Whether it’s a true emergency or a routine check-in, the system can instantly distinguish between signal priorities, ensuring that every caller receives the appropriate level of attention.
Tangible Impact, Real Lives Saved
Since its implementation in June 2020, the Becklar Engage platform has successfully handled over 2 million inbound live calls across hundreds of thousands of devices. The results have been nothing short of exceptional:
- All calls are answered immediately, without requiring subscribers to wait in long queues.
- Emergency response times average just 9.4 seconds—a speed that sets the industry benchmark.
- Approximately 60% of live calls are resolved through the AI platform alone, allowing human operators to focus their attention where it’s needed most—on high-priority emergencies.
This innovative approach creates a seamless, reliable, and efficient process for subscribers, particularly seniors. In many cases, Becklar ’s proactive and rapid intervention has helped prevent situations from escalating, ultimately reducing risk and preserving well-being.
