This study describes the operation of an in-home alarm system in seven Swedish municipalities. Statistics on the diffusion of this technology, its costs, and the characteristics of its use are reported. Alarms were triggered by 60% of the users. Mean annual costs per recipient varied from SEK 1,985 to SEK 8,215, mainly reflecting different patterns of use.
