Fall alert with apple watch
Can anybody advise which watch is best for an elderly person to summon help in an emergency, like a fall?
Apple Watch Series 9
I don’t know that there is a single, best Watch for detecting falls. It really depends on your expectations and desired result. Newer Apple Watches are all capable of detecting hard falls. However, they are not foolproof and may not detect certain softer falls. The alternative are watches that you wear, have limited health benefits, but are monitored 24/7 and you can press the large button to summon help or indicate that you’ve fallen. These types of monitors require a monthly subscription that typically ranges in the $50 and up range in the US.
I’m happy to discuss options, but what are your real expectations for the Watch?
