A wearable emergency alert device (10) includes a wearable member (14) and a separately encased mobile phone member (18) that is selectively attachable to the wearable member (14). The wearable member (14) includes an attachment member (20) for attaching the wearable member (14) to a body part of the user, a first transmitter (26) for sending a first signal to the mobile phone member (18), a power source (22) for the first transmitter (26) and a first actuator (30) operable by a user for actuating the first transmitter (26) to send a signal to the mobile phone member (18). The mobile phone member (18) includes a mobile phone transceiver (32) for establishing a first communication link between the mobile phone transceiver (32) and the first transmitter (26); and the second communication link between the mobile phone transceiver (32) and a remote receiver for transmitting and receiving at least one of data, voice and messages between the mobile phone transceiver (32) and a remote receiver. A mounting member (44) is provided for selectively removably mounting the mobile phone member (18) to the wearable member (14), and permitting the mobile phone member (18) to move between a first position wherein the mobile phone member (18) does not engage the first actuator (30) of the wearable member (14) while the mobile phone member (18) is mounted to the wearable member (14), and a second position wherein the mobile phone member (18) engages the first actuator (30) to cause the first actuator (30) to actuate the first transmitter (26) to transmit the first signal to the mobile phone transceiver (32). |
