NON-BATTERY OPERATED PERSONAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM

摘要

A personal emergency response system may include an actuator with a generator that creates electrical energy upon activation or motion of the switch. The system may utilize the electrical energy to transmit an emergency alert signal to a receiver based on characteristics of the switch, such as movement of the switch, location of the switch, and time of sending the signal.
