My 75 year old Mum has Parkinsons and yesterday had 3 seizures out of the blue. She lives on her own but is fiercely independent and will not stay with me. Can anyone recommend a watch that can detect a fall and contact me?
I think the Apple Watch would be overkill to be honest. She wouldn’t use it for all the functionality it has.
Thanks.

I don't know about watches by my DM has advanced Parkinson's (and now dementia) and has had a Telecare alarm for a couple of years now. It's been invaluable. Hers was provided by the local SS / Community Ageing Team and is monitored by them so someone goes out automatically if it's activated. But you can get them privately (which is what she had before but it wasn't automatically activated, she had to press a button and one time she fell and didn't press it so the local community ageing team replaced it with the current one).
