Lifeline Medical Alert Service Canada's #1 medical alert service.
---
Le no 1 des services d’alerte médicale au Canada. Version française à la suite de la version anglaise.

In 1974, a noted psychologist and gerontologist named Dr. Andrew S. Dibner founded Lifeline Systems. It answered a question he had often wondered: “What would an elderly person do if he or she were alone and needed help?”

In its early years, Lifeline Systems was sold primarily through hospitals and other healthcare facilities as a community service. As the company grew and technology advanced, it

began selling its services directly to individuals and healthcare professionals. Innovation continued to be a cornerstone of its mission to deliver first-in-class solutions to its subscribers. Today, Lifeline remains the #1 medical alert service in North America, having served over 7 million subscribers, and continues to lead the industry in providing meaningful innovations like AutoAlert fall detection technology. Through helping individuals and families lead more comfortable, confident lives, the company’s original mission carries on. Lifeline Canada is headquartered at 95 Barber Greene Road, Suite 105 in Toronto, Ontario. Lifeline has two state of the art Response Centres, in Toronto and Montreal, offering 24/7 call response in English and French, with back-up redundancy capability and disaster recovery plans to ensure we are always available, ready to help.

C’est en 1974 que le Dr Andrew S. Dibner, un éminent psychologue et gérontologue, a fondé les Systèmes Lifeline. Il répondait ainsi à une question qui lui revenait souvent à l’esprit : « Que ferait une personne âgée qui a besoin d’aide alors qu’elle est seule? »

À ses débuts, les Systèmes Lifeline étaient principalement vendus par l’entremise d’hôpitaux et d’autres établissements de soins de santé en tant que service communautaire. Avec la croissance de l’entreprise et le perfectionnement de la technologie, les services ont commencé à être vendus directement aux consommateurs et aux professionnels de la santé. Et l’innovation a continué d’occuper une place essentielle dans la réalisation de sa mission d’offrir des services de première classe à ses abonnés. Aujourd’hui, Lifeline demeure le service d’alerte médicale no 1 en Amérique du Nord, ayant desservi plus de 7 millions d’abonnés. L’entreprise continue de dominer l’industrie en proposant des innovations importantes telles que la technologie de détection des chutes AutoAlerte. La mission initiale de l’entreprise se poursuit en aidant les personnes et les familles à mener des vies plus agréables en toute confiance. Le siège social de Lifeline Canada se trouve au 95 Barber Greene Road, bureau 105, à Toronto, en Ontario. Lifeline dispose de deux Centres de télésurveillance ultramodernes, l’un à Montréal et l’autre à Toronto, qui répondent aux appels jour et nuit, en anglais et en français. Ils sont dotés d’une fonction de redondance et de plans de reprise après sinistre qui assure notre entière disponibilité.
