I would recommend an Apple Watch for every senior because it does alert the authorities if you fall and don’t respond to the watch warnings in a few seconds. My watch will detect I fell if a shake a salad dressing bottle or I run into PB partner, and my friends Apple Watches do the same for them.

I would suggest an Apple Watch over any of the other methods of alerting if you fall (sirens on the floor, the push button necklaces) because you might fall and hit your head and might be passed out, which you can’t hit a button or siren. Apple Watch will detect this fall and when you don’t respond to the watches warning: “did you fall” it automatically calls for help. Pus you can do a thousand things more things with the watch like: ECG, sleep habits, heart arrhythmias/afib, check mail, ask Siri to do something, on and on
