Emergency response systems have been demonstrated to be useful as aids in indepen dent living for the elderly. This article provides information on the development, background, and use of in-home emergency response systems. Two different types of systems are delineated, and three different model applications of emergency response systems are discussed. Results from two of these models, which have been in use for three or more years, are reviewed. Possible criteria for selection of emergency response systems are also presented, along with limitations that should be considered in the use of such systems.
