Key IRIS Ally Features & Overview
Here’s what sets IRIS Ally apart broken down in five simple sections:
1. Help Button & Emergency Response
At the heart of the IRIS Ally is its large, easy-to-press help button. Press it anytime you need assistance and you’ll be speaking with a trained emergency agent. They can contact family, neighbors or dispatch EMS based on your situation.
2. Fall Detection
Falls are a leading cause of injury for older adults. IRIS Ally’s built-in sensors can detect most falls and automatically connect to an agent—even if you can’t press the help button. You also have the option to cancel the call if no help is needed. False alarm? No problem.
3. GPS & Cellular Connectivity
With IRIS Ally, you’re not limited to home use. IRIS Ally uses GPS and nationwide cellular coverage to pinpoint your location and send help wherever you are—no Wi-Fi required.
4. Water-Resistant, Wearable Design
Shower-safe and lightweight, the IRIS Ally can be worn on a lanyard or clipped to your belt. Both options are included with every IRIS Ally purchase.

A long-lasting battery keeps you protected for up to three days between charges. Status lights make it easy to see when the IRIS Ally Medical Alert Device is on, charging or connected to an agent.
