Why Holo Alert
Designed for today, made for here.
Holo Alert is owned and answered in Canada. Canadian LTE, Canadian monitoring centre, Canadian care team, billing in Canadian dollars. The whole experience lives where you do.
Fall detection already built in
You should not have to make a separate decision about safety. Automatic fall detection is included in every Holo Alert plan, ready from the moment the pendant arrives.
Your family stays close
The Holo Alert caregiver app gives your loved ones real-time location and low-battery alerts on their phone, so they can feel reassured without anyone feeling watched.
Built for real life
A pendant, a plan, a quiet confidence.
Ready when it arrives
No technician visit. No home phone. We help you set it up.
Holo Alert is built to be easy to start. The pendant arrives charged and ready, with one short test call to your monitoring centre. A Canadian care team member walks you through it the first time, so you know exactly how it works before you slide it on for the day.
Your day does not have to get smaller
Around the house, or out for a walk in your own neighbourhood.
A medical alert should support your routines, not shrink them. Holo Alert moves with you wherever Canadian LTE reaches: at home, on a walk, at the grocery store, on a drive. Life does not only happen at home, and your support should not stop at the door.
Quiet support, when it is needed
If help is needed, the device connects you.
Press the button, or let automatic fall detection do it for you, and the pendant connects you to a Canadian-monitored response centre. A trained Canadian operator speaks with you, listens, and coordinates help based on the situation.

Why families choose Holo Alert
What people tell us matters most.
- 01
"I want a device made for where I live."
Holo Alert is built and monitored in Canada, on Canadian LTE, in Canadian dollars. The same pendant works in Tofino and Trois-Rivières, and the team on the line understands Canadian geography and emergency services.
- 02
"I want fall detection without an upgrade fee."
Automatic fall detection is included in every Holo Alert plan, ready from the first day. Life Alert does not offer fall detection on any device.
- 03
"I want to know the price before I commit."
Holo Alert is one clear monthly cost, $49.95 CAD, written on the page so you can think about it on your own time. There is no quote call required, and no pressure to find out what it costs.
- 04
"I want help reached quickly."
When the pendant calls, the Canadian-monitored team aims to be on the line in under 30 seconds, in English or French. SeniorLiving.org’s hands-on testing measured Life Alert at about two minutes to reach a live operator.
- 05
"I want my family informed without feeling watched."
The Holo Alert caregiver app shows real-time location, low-battery alerts, and motion check-ins on a family member’s phone. Life Alert offers no caregiver app or family portal.

Common questions
Questions worth asking before you choose.
No. Life Alert is a United States company. Their cellular service runs on AT&T, a US carrier with no Canadian consumer network, and their own site describes service as available "anywhere in the USA." Holo Alert is the Canadian-owned medical alert built for the same need, on a Canadian LTE network with a Canadian-monitored response centre.
Yes. Holo Alert works across the United States and Canada on LTE roaming. That helps if you spend part of the year somewhere warmer, drive across to visit grandkids, or travel between the two countries.
Your Canadian monitoring centre answers and coordinates help based on where the device is at that moment. If you are in the United States, the Canadian team works with local emergency services for you so you never have to translate the situation yourself.
Automatic fall detection is included in every Holo Alert plan and active by default. Life Alert does not offer fall detection on any device.
A few practical questions: Is the company available in Canada? Is fall detection included or extra? Where is the monitoring centre, and how is it certified? Is the price clear in writing? Does the device work outside the home? Is there a caregiver app for family? The answers tell you whether the system fits your real day.
Place your Holo Alert order, then call your current provider to wind down service. Once your Holo device arrives we will help set it up over the phone. There is no overlap or gap in coverage if you keep both active for a few days.
No. Holo Alert runs on Canadian LTE cellular and includes its own connection. There is no router to set up, no phone line to test, and no Wi-Fi to configure.
Our monitoring centre is in Canada and ULC certified. Calls are answered by trained Canadian responders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in English and French.
