What does the hivemind here have for recommendations for something to help monitor seniors if they fall or have some kind of health issue? Dad is north of 70 now, mom isn't far behind.

My friend recommended a Garmin watch that has fall detection. Not cheap, but willing to spend if that's the product. Want something that will last a bit and not be instant landfill ready e waste so definitely willing to spend on that front.

Seeing what else people are using and if you'd recommend. Thanks!

@chu Apple Watch is very reliable for this, and can even make the emergency call automatically

I can see that. I am not keen to give Tim Cook's company money right now given how they are complete environmental assholes, more so than other tech companies even.
