Mobile X: GPS Medical Alert with Fall Detection for Bay Area Seniors
Built-in fall detection, GPS tracking, two-way voice, and optional caregiver app. Starting at $40.95/mo.
Automatic Fall Detection That Travels with You
The Mobile X is a GPS medical alert with fall detection built directly into the device. If it senses a heavy fall, it automatically contacts our monitoring center, even if you are unable to press the button yourself. Whether you are at home in Oakland, visiting friends in San Jose, or traveling anywhere in the United States, this device keeps you protected around the clock.
For Bay Area seniors and their families, the Mobile X offers something most at-home systems cannot: portable fall detection combined with real-time GPS tracking. If you or a loved one has experienced a fall before, or if falling is a concern, this GPS medical alert with fall detection provides an extra layer of safety that does not depend on being near a base station.
How the Mobile X Works
- A fall is detected automatically by sensors built into the device, or you press the help button manually from anywhere in the United States.
- Speak directly with a trained emergency operator through the device’s built-in two-way speaker.
- Help is dispatched to your GPS location based on your personalized Emergency Care Plan, including calls to family, neighbors, or emergency services.
If you cannot respond after a fall or button press, our operators use GPS to locate you and follow your care plan automatically. They dispatch help and begin contacting your emergency contacts immediately.
Optional Caregiver App (+$10/mo)
For families who want extra visibility, the Mobile X offers an optional caregiver app for an additional $10 per month. The app gives authorized family members and caregivers:
- Real-time GPS location of the device
- Device status at a glance without needing to call
For adult children managing a parent’s safety from across the Bay Area or across the country, the caregiver app provides peace of mind between visits and phone calls.

Mobile X vs. Mobile Link: Which One Is Right?

Why Bay Area Families Choose Vital Link
Vital Link has served the Northern California community since 1981. We are a family-owned company based in Oakland, not a national chain shipping boxes from a warehouse. Even though the Mobile X works anywhere in the United States, every device is set up in person by a local technician who makes sure you are comfortable before leaving.
We work closely with hospitals, discharge planners, and case managers throughout Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Marin, Napa, Solano, Sonoma, and Santa Cruz counties. If your loved one is transitioning home after a hospital stay, we coordinate directly with their care team to ensure protection is in place before they walk through the door.
All equipment is covered by a lifetime replacement warranty at no extra cost. We also ship replacement charging cradles for free. If something breaks, we fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does fall detection work?
The Mobile X uses built-in sensors to detect sudden changes in motion and impact consistent with a fall. If a fall is detected, the device automatically contacts our monitoring center. You do not need to press the button.
What if the device detects a fall that did not happen?
If the device triggers a false alert, simply tell the operator you are fine. There is no penalty. The sensors are tuned to minimize false alerts while still detecting real falls.
Does the Mobile X work outside the Bay Area?
Yes. The device works anywhere in the United States with cellular coverage. Many clients take it when traveling or visiting family in other states.
How often do I need to charge it?
The battery lasts up to 5 days on a single charge. Simply place the device in the included charging cradle when the battery gets low. Low-battery alerts are sent to you and your responder list via email and text automatically.
Can I wear it in the shower?
The Mobile X is water resistant and shower-ready. It should not be fully submerged in water such as in a bath or pool.
What happens if I press the button but cannot speak?
Our operators use GPS to locate you and follow your Emergency Care Plan automatically. They dispatch help and begin calling your emergency contacts.
Who can use the caregiver app?
The caregiver app is an optional add-on for $10 per month. Any family member or caregiver you authorize can access the app for real-time GPS location and device status.
