I'm an active elder but live alone so am thinking I should get some kind of emergency call system, both for when I'm home and when I'm out and about. I already use a fitbit watch, so am thinking a smart watch with fall detection might be a good idea. I have an Android phone (Samsung) so Apple watch wouldn't work. I've heard mixed reviews about fall detection watches. However, I like the idea of a multi-functional device rather than a dedicated fall detection/emergency call system that requires an additional paid subscription.
When you find something that works well, please share it with the forum because I have seen this question asked on the forum a few times.
Good luck finding what you’re looking for.
However, if you can't find one I would strongly recommend the Apple. Two weeks ago my husband took a fall on our carport. He couldn't get up... yelled for me but I was in the shower in the back of the house and could not hear him. The apple watch automatically came on and asked him if he had fallen. He told them yes and they immediately contacted a fire department and two EMT's were sent.
