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.

What about the "I've fallen and I can't get up" lanyard?

A main health concern for folks our age is falling. I decided to get a warning system if anyone falls in the bedroom or bathroom. I put several of these small air horns near the floor of rooms in our home. IF we fall, and the other one is in another room - especially at night - press the horn and it emits a shrieking sound. Easy to hear in the house, and perhaps nearby outside.

2 are about $9 on Amazon. I bought 6.

It's simply a tool in case of a fall and we are conscious. Cheap money - hope to never use, but....
