In 1989, LifeCall began running commercials which contained a scene wherein an elderly woman, identified by a dispatcher as "Mrs. Fletcher", uses the medical alert pendant after having fallen in the bathroom. After falling, Mrs. Fletcher speaks the phrase...
"I've fallen, and I can't get up!" after which the dispatcher informs her that he is sending help.
This line was spoken in a television commercial for a medical alarm and protection company called LifeCall. The motivation behind the systems is that subscribers, mostly senior citizens as well as the disabled, would receive a pendant which, when activated, would allow the user to speak into to an audio receiving device and talk directly with a dispatch service, without the need to reach a telephone. The service was designed to appeal particularly to seniors who lived alone and who might experience a medical emergency, such as a fall, which would leave them alert but immobile and unable to reach the telephone.

Well, this is the manner in which we need to call to our Heavenly Father. Jesus is our “Life Alert” we need to call on HIM and then say Father, HELP ME...I’ve fallen and I can’t get up. If we really mean those words and repent of the sin that has weighed us down HE is there to lift us up to safety each time. We don’t need the preacher, best friend, mother, sister, brother or father. All we need is to go to Him in the name of Jesus and HE will save us. There is no need to stay down when your Life Alert is just a prayer away.
