Abstract (en)

A system for monitoring personal safety in which polling calls are periodically generated (2) and transmitted (6) to individuals being monitored. The individual makes a polling response that should at least once include a voice message. This voice message should give an indication of the location of the individual concerned. If a polling response is not received following a predetermined number of polling calls which have been sent, then an alarm call is triggered. An alarm call is transmitted to a person who may render assistance to the person being monitored, the alarm call including at least the latest voice message (4) stored within the system from the person being monitored. <IMAGE>
