On the Go
Mobile Personal Emergency Response System. More than just a GPS Tracker.
The On the Go medical alert system includes an advanced GPS locator so that you can quickly get the help you need in your home or on the go. Automatic fall detection can call for help if a fall is detected and you are unable to press the help button.* No matter where you are you will still have access to 24/7 help should you experience a fall or need medical assistance.1
On The Go is recommended for people who:
- Frequently socialize outside of home
- Don’t let frailties limit what they do
- Are still active but may be becoming more frail / at risk for falls
- Go out 3-4 times a week alone (i.e. volunteering, visiting friends, running errands, exercising)
- Worry about their ability to access help outside their home in a medical emergency
“To the amazing Lifeline team, Thank you so very much for your kind attention to my dad, Jean Paul Hebert. We have had your service for many years now, since mom became ill. We thank you most sincerely.”

“The wireless service is perfect for someone like me who has a chronic illness. It lets me stay independent safely and it’s so wonderful not to have to worry about how I would get help if I have another unnoticed seizure.”

“Words can barely express how much peace of mind this service has brought to me and my family since getting it. It has allowed me to live alone, in my own home, ever since my husband’s death years ago. A wonderful service.”

How On the Go Works

Press your Mobile Help Button at any time. If you fall and can’t push your button – the fall detection feature can automatically call for help if it detects a fall— at home or on the go.2
2. Hear a reassuring voice
A caring Lifeline response associate will quickly access your personal profile and assess the situation.
3. Get located
Lifeline pinpoints your location through the communicator or your mobile pendant. On the Go uses up to 5 technologies to determine where you are.5
4. Know help is on the way
Our response associate contacts a neighbour, loved one, or emergency services – based on your preferences – and will follow up to make sure help has arrived.
