I suppose it may matter what type of emergency you could have from what condition....but if you have an Apple Watch (with cellular) like I have....if you fall, it asks if you have fallen, are you OK (easy to respond on the watch), or if you area in an accident.....with out an "OK" response it will call 911 with your exact position in the community. I believe some of the recent model will even monitor and respond for heart conditions and other illnesses. The iPhone is a standard monthly price and the watch is an add on (about 30-50% additional) depending on the carrier.
