Holo Alert vs Life Assure

A medical alert that fits the life you live now.

Independence does not have to come with a list of trade-offs. Holo Alert is a Canadian medical alert designed to settle quietly into your routine: simple to set up, clear in what it costs, and ready to support you at home or away. The pendant fits into your day, so the day still feels like yours.

Why Holo Alert

Everything you need, already included.

A medical alert should not feel complicated. One Canadian-owned pendant, one clear monthly price, and the things that protect you most ready from the first day.

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.

Works wherever you go

Holo Alert runs on Canadian LTE with GPS, so support follows you around the house, on a walk, at the grocery store, on a drive. Your day does not have to get smaller.

A calm, honest first conversation

Order online when you are ready, or call and talk it through with a Canadian care team member. We answer your questions and let you decide on your own timeline.

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

The garden, the grocery store, and the road in between.

A medical alert should support your routines, not shrink them. Holo Alert moves with you wherever Canadian LTE reaches: around the house, out for a walk, at the farmers market, on a long drive across the country. 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 operator speaks with you, listens, and coordinates help based on the situation. Fall detection is built into every plan, with no upgrade and no second pendant to wear.

Why families choose Holo Alert

What people tell us matters most.

  1. 01

    "I want a calm, no-pressure first conversation."

    You do your research, you ask your questions, and you decide on your own time. Holo Alert tells you how the device works, answers what you ask, and lets you go. The first call should feel helpful, not like a sales pitch.

  2. 02

    "I want fall detection without an upgrade fee."

    Automatic fall detection is included in every Holo Alert plan, on every pendant. Life Assure offers fall detection as a $9.99 a month add-on, and on Classic Home it requires a separate, heavier pendant.

  3. 03

    "I do not want a landline."

    Holo Alert is built around Canadian LTE, so there is no phone jack, no base station, and no compatibility test. Your safety should not depend on a service you may already have left behind.

  4. 04

    "I want a pendant that handles the bathroom."

    Most falls in older adults happen in the bathroom. Holo Alert is rated IP67, so the pendant stays on you through the shower and bath. Life Assure’s product pages describe their devices as "water resistant" without an IP rating.

  5. 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. Quiet reassurance for your family, independence for you, and nobody has to nag.

Common questions

Questions worth asking before you choose.

  • Both are Canadian-monitored medical alert providers. Holo Alert is built around a single LTE pendant with fall detection, GPS, and a caregiver app already included, at one clear price. Life Assure offers two devices: an in-home Classic system that requires a landline, and a Premium Mobile Plus pendant; fall detection is a $9.99 a month add-on on either device. The right choice depends on what fits your routine.

  • No. Holo Alert runs on Canadian LTE cellular and includes its own connection. There is no router to set up, no phone jack to find, and no Wi-Fi to configure. If cellular service reaches your home, Holo Alert is ready.

  • Automatic fall detection is included in every Holo Alert plan and active by default. Life Assure offers fall detection at an additional $9.99 a month, and on the Classic Home device it requires a separate, larger pendant.

  • Yes. Holo Alert is rated IP67, dust-tight and protected against immersion in up to a metre of water, so the pendant stays on you through the shower and the bath. That matters because most falls in older adults happen in the bathroom.

  • A few practical questions: Is fall detection included or extra? Is there a landline requirement? 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.
