Method and system for hierarchical management of personal emergency response system (PERS) devices

摘要

People at different levels of an organization can carry personal emergency response system (PERS) devices. A remote server can monitor the personal emergency response system devices, for example tracking device locations and monitoring for emergency alerts. The organization can include managers who are assigned level-specific responsibility. For example, a first manager may be responsible for a first portion of the organization, and a second manager may be responsible for a second portion of the organization. The managers may log into a website to monitor the people in their respective portions of the organization. The website can provide a manager with information that is specific to that manager's portion of the organization, as provided by the personal emergency response system devices.
