The service provides members with personalized emergency notification through its Alert Notification service and timely access to EMRs with Alert Medicall, the Chattanooga, Tenn.-based company stated.

With Alert MediLife, customers can manage prescriptions, track health measures, store medical images, view personalized risk assessments, and in the event of an emergency, allow emergency personnel access to their vital medical records, the company added.
