5. Medical Alert Advice Needed

Tue Sep 25, 2018, 06:05 PM

Sep 2018

Figure I'd continue this thread, instead of starting a new one. I'm also looking for a new medical alert system for my mother. Curious if you ended up getting one, and which one you got. Been doing research and comparing. Definitely want one with fall detection and one that's mobile. Any ideas on the new Apple watch with fall detection?

Some helpful resources I found were:

https://www.consumerreports.org/medical-alert-systems/how-to-choose-a-medical-alert-system/ Good read on how to choose a medical alert system

https://www.seniorsafetyreviews.com/comparisons/medical-alert-systems-comparison/Good comparison chart, with prices, features, links and phone numbers
