What medical alert device did you choose?

I have Medic Alert, I also have the Apple Watch. There SOS works. I sat down on my bed to change clothes and somehow I ended up on the floor. My watch made a sound and said we detected a fall. I hit yes and then it asked you need medical help and I said no. What I know if I did not answer medical help, would’ve been sent to my house.
On my Medic Alert I bought a thing that hocks to my watch band. When I was in ED more than one doctor saw it.
Good luck there are many out there to pick from.

I use an Apple Watch & it works quite well…if I’m wearing it. I recharge it when I go to bed, where I’ll normally read for 2-3 hours. I put it on before I turn out the light, when it’s fully charged. Guess what? I got too much momentum backing away from the sink after brushing my teeth & fell back, hitting my hips first. I don’t think I hurt anything.
You need to wear the watch for it to work! I’ve been recommending it to my friends & family, as well as this group. I need to rethink my strategy & recommendations.
