The European and North American market for Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) is supported by several trends and developments that will have an impact on the competitive landscape during the forecast period. The silver generation is quickly becoming technologically savvy and open to adopting technology to help in everyday living needs. The deployment of telecare services enables proactive care that support timely interventions, reducing avoidable hospital admissions while maintaining independence for individuals in their own homes.
Based on the solution, monitoring can be taken care of by family care providers, municipalities or professional 24/7 monitoring providers. AI-based solutions have an increasing role in the development of preventive and predictive care models. Solution providers have integrated AI and ML algorithms to analyse the monitoring data to learn about the patient's routine, identify irregularities and expedite the needed assistance. Predictive analytics models support proactive care by assessing a user's risk of falling based on historical data and health conditions.
The industry is becoming more patient-centric which calls for integrated systems and improved interoperability of connected care solutions. Technology enabled care is a cost-effective solution for monitoring the health of elderly and the vulnerable population offering continuous monitoring. Finally, a convergence between medical alert and remote patient monitoring solutions can be observed as new, integrated and more holistic care solutions emerge.
The number of telecare users in Europe and North America reached 16.2 million in 2025
In this digital era, artificial intelligence and generative technologies are transforming the tools and platforms for diagnosis, treatment and patient engagement. The rapid adoption and integration of digital technologies in healthcare have resulted in promising solutions to solve some of the challenges posed by the ageing population and strained healthcare systems.
The analyst's definition of telecare solutions, also known as medical alert systems or PERS (personal emergency response systems), is a service that enables elderly, disabled and vulnerable people to seek help from home in the event of an emergency. These solutions can trigger an alarm either when the user presses a button or when sensors detect activity that deviates from normal patterns. PERS systems provide continuous in-home or completely mobile monitoring services and can consist of a range of electronic devices such as personal alarm buttons, motion detectors, GPS monitors, fitness wearables, smartphones with built-in emergency features and radarbased technologies capable of detecting falls or unusual movements without requiring the user to wear a device.
The market is evolving to include AI-driven capabilities that can automatically trigger an alarm in situations such as when a user leaves home at an unusual time or forgets to take his or her medication. AI-enabled systems can also detect unusual inactivity, recognise fall patterns using radar or motion sensors, identify distress through voice analysis or flag behavioural changes that indicate increased risk.
