Why not get an Apple Watch or the latest apple iPhone? The watch knows when you fall and if you don’t respond to the alert on your watch, it will call 911. The watch will learn your movements over time. In the beginning, if I would shake up salad dressing in my left hand, it would prompt me if I fell and wanted to call 911, but after a few of those movements, it doesn’t prompt me anymore. The Apple Watch also provides heart arrhythmias, blood oxygen levels, sleep info and many other things without any monthly fees if you have a iPhone nearby.
The new apple iPhones can determine if you have been in a crash too and call 911 and knows your gps coordinates.
