What fall detection options are there?

Strictly speaking, there are only a couple of actual fall detection watches on the market: The Kanega Watch and the Apple Watch (which is a smartwatch equipped with fall detection technology and not a dedicated mobile medical alert device). Many mobile medical alert brands do offer a wristband option, but they only offer fall detection through an additional lanyard or pendant that must be worn around the neck. We have included a few of these brands in the following overview along with their key features:

24/7  Monitoring Staff? Must Remove to Charge?  Fall Detection ? Smartphone Required? Voice Activated Help? Water-Resistant?
