As a paramedic:

By your old family members an Apple Watch.

99% of medical alarms are false trips. Not only do they piss us off, generate paperwork, and sometimes a bill, we respond like they are the low priority calls they are.

Medical alarm companies almost never give us the information they have on file, or make an effort to determine if it is an accidental activation.

And one way or the other; we’re getting in the residence to make sure it wasn’t a real activation. If that means smashing a door/window, that is going to happen.

Which sucks when it went off because the person went to church and forgot to turn off the “no motion sensor”, or because it got remotely reactivated…and the patient is still in the hospital.
