The Future of Personal Health and Safety Is Connected
For decades, personal emergency response has been built around a simple idea: when someone needs help, give them a way to call for it.
That idea remains essential. But the technology — and the possibilities surrounding it — have evolved dramatically.
At Becklar, we believe the future of connected health and safety isn’t about a single device. It’s about creating the most complete connection to help, wherever and whenever it’s needed.
Today, more than 1 million PERS subscribers rely on Becklar-connected technologies and our people to help protect what matters most.
Moving Beyond the Traditional PERS Device
A personal emergency response device can provide an important lifeline. But the device itself is only one part of what happens between recognizing a potential emergency and getting someone the help they need.
That connection depends on many things working together: reliable hardware, intelligent software, network connectivity, monitoring infrastructure, trained professionals, and local partners who can deliver those solutions to the people who need them.
That’s why Becklar has focused on building an end-to-end connected health and safety ecosystem — not only developing devices.

Together, our devices, platform, AI-powered technology, dealer partners, connectivity, and monitoring professionals create something much bigger than traditional personal emergency response.
They create a connected ecosystem built around one purpose:
People Protecting People.
Connecting People to Help Wherever Life Happens
Personal safety is no longer limited to the home.
- An aging parent may want the freedom to continue living independently and staying active in their community.
- A lone worker may spend the day moving between remote job sites.
- A travelling employee may encounter an unexpected emergency far from home.
- A family may simply want confidence that someone they care about has a reliable way to reach help.
The circumstances may be different. The mission is the same.
Recognize when help may be needed. Make the connection. Respond quickly.
That requires technology capable of adapting to how people actually live and work.
- Connected devices are becoming smaller and more capable.
- Location technologies are improving.
- Cellular and connectivity options are expanding where protection can reach.
- AI is creating opportunities to identify risks sooner and help monitoring teams respond with better information.
The result is a model of personal health and safety that can move with the person — rather than requiring them to remain within the limits of a traditional system.
How AI Is Changing Connected Safety
AI represents one of the biggest opportunities to advance personal health and safety.
Historically, emergency response has been largely reactive: an event occurs, a signal is generated, and someone responds.
Increasingly intelligent technologies have the potential to:
- Recognize patterns and identify risks earlier
- Improve the accuracy of event detection
- Prioritize information for faster decision-making
- Provide greater context around an event for monitoring professionals
As these capabilities continue to evolve, connected safety can become more proactive and predictive — not simply waiting for someone to ask for help, but recognizing when help might be needed.
But there is an important distinction:
AI should strengthen the human connection, not replace it.
Because no matter how intelligent technology becomes, the most important moment in any personal safety system is what happens when a real person needs help.
Technology Is Only as Powerful as the Response Behind It
A device can detect an event. A platform can transmit data. AI can help provide context.
But ultimately, someone needs to act.
That is why monitoring remains such an important part of the Becklar ecosystem.
Our redundant network of monitoring sites across North America is designed to help ensure that when a signal arrives, trained professionals are ready to respond. Behind those operations are people whose job is to:
- Understand the situation
- Follow established response procedures
- Make the connection to the appropriate assistance
This commitment has led Becklar to achieve the fastest response time in the industry — under 10 seconds.
Technology helps make that process faster, smarter, and more resilient.
People give it purpose.
An Ecosystem Built to Keep Evolving
The next generation of connected health and safety will look different from the systems we use today.
- Devices will continue to get smaller and smarter.
- AI will increasingly help identify risks earlier.
- Connectivity will become more seamless.
- New sensors and data sources will provide greater insight.
- The ability to protect people almost anywhere will continue to expand.
For dealers and partners, that evolution creates new opportunities to deliver more value to subscribers. Rather than offering a single product, they can become part of a broader ecosystem capable of supporting people across:
More stages of life
More environments
More types of risk
Becklar is building for that future today.
Our goal isn’t simply to create the next PERS device. It’s to continue strengthening every part of the connection between a person and the help they may need — from the technology they carry, to the networks that connect them, the intelligence that supports the response, the partners who serve their communities, and the monitoring professionals who are there when it matters most.
Let's Build the Connection Together

Behind Every Signal Is a Person
Because behind every device is a person.
Behind every signal is a person.
Behind every response is a person.
And behind every one of our 1 million+ PERS subscribers is someone counting on us to be there.
