One thing we did learn is that if you fall and then move in any way, the watch won't call for help. It has to be a hard fall and you not moving.
Problem is when you can’t speak. Get real medical device with fall detection. We got mom Medical Guardian device after researching all the features and convenience compared to others. We also had lock box in with key put on property (not front door) so EMT can get in door.
