Our overall pick was the Clear Arch Health units

Approximately 2+ years ago, we began a complete evaluation of medical devices available from various companies regarding potential use as a commercial platform needing both personal as well as medical emergency response capabilities.

We conducted tests for these units comparing RF spectrum interference and RSSI measurements from various locations and building construction types (i.e. elevators, basements, brick, stucco, parking structures, radio stations, cell towers, etc.); rural and high rise building locations, and oceanographic areas; as well as durability; stated IPX (waterproof) ratings; connection times; transmission quality and audio speaker response levels; and available product lines. 

Our overall pick was the Medical Guardian (formerly Clear Arch Health) units (newest company name change) "hands down".

Our POC has been Kurt Stelzer. Who has handled our interaction as we progressed forward, as his expertise, product knowledge, and input has been "exceptional".

Since that time, we have become equally impressed with the "back-end" handling (operator response) as well as your Customer Service and payment sections through Melissa "E" and "Tess"; who have also been instrumental in handling the shipping and billing logistics for us.

We have deployed your devices to various commercial and individual entites and have received excellent feedback on at least two emergency event which occurred at an elementary school where your units were being used.

Based upon our background of over 50 years with the Federal Government and our numerous contacts within the emergency communications industry, we believe the PERS arena is an "un-mined" resource with unlimited potential.

We believe marketing to potential long term users in their 20's and 30's, instead of short term individuals at the end of their life spectrum, has the potential of unmatched growth.

We look forward to our continued relationship with Medical Guardian.

Responsive Service, Room for Improvement in Internal Communications

Overall, my experience with Medical Guardian (formerly Clear Arch) has been positive, thanks in part to the responsive and attentive service provided by Renee Gerrish and Melissa Engelke. They've gone above and beyond to address any issues we've encountered. However, there's room for improvement in internal communication, as replacement hardware is still being mailed with the old property manager's name, leading to delivery complications and potential loss of items. Medical Guardian should work on resolving this issue to enhance their overall service quality. Overall, I am grateful for Medical Guardian/Mobile Help and the vital services they provide in connecting our residents to medical assistance, which can be lifesaving in critical situations.

Positive impact on keeping our clients safe at home as well as away from home

Clear Arch Health has impacted our business in such a positive way. Our clients give us feedback on how safe and secure their PERS provide peace of mind, as well as their families feeling the same way. We receive word-of-mouth referrals as well from local health organizations. Extended Independence has been serving St. Louis for 24 years and continues to be the #1 local company to carry that torch! Thank you!

Great management staff, customer service and technology. More importantly great end user experience, all my customers praise the quality and professionalism. I myself am very proud to promote this service and can't say enough great things about my entire experience and I'll speak for my many senior citizens that utilize the program. In fact, I get random calls from members thanking me for the service as help has been there when they needed it. So kudos to all that make that happen.

Quality products/ service and reasonably priced when compared to other systems.

When we needed a PERS system for our fast growing PACE programs, Medical Guardian (formerly Clear Arch) presented us with a program that was best suited for our needs. Medical Guardian taylored a program to suit our needs and assisted in converting from our old program. The changeover was seamless and we immediately saw an improvement in quality and service. Medical Guardian provides a quality product with a very fast response time. Their friendly staff are always available to assist in ordering or making adjustments to customers accounts.
