A wearable medical alert system provides access to emergency help through a wearable device, such as a watch, pendant, or bracelet. Some devices, such as the Kanega Watch, can connect users to trained operators who can dispatch family, caregivers, or emergency services when needed, and also can provide automatic fall detection and GPS location detection.
