"prevention...of or compensation for an injury" (to the threatened elderly/disabled potential victim of a violent crime).
"sustaining life" (again, for the carrier)
This is the same way every weapon can be used to prevent injury.
The best defense is the threat of force followed up by action if necessary.
Every community where carry permits are issued in large quantity demonstrably faces lower crime rates than areas where weapons-possession is restricted to police and criminals.
I'm not suggesting that we taxpayers should be arming the elderly, but I am guessing what this snippet of an article isn't telling you is that the purpose of classifying this devices medically was to allow exceptions to the general rule that these weapons be prohibited from sale to individuals on the grounds that they are too small and too easily concealed. The medical prescription would allow someone who can't control a full-sized weapon to carry this (otherwise illegal) version in order to defend themselves.
