Medical alert and fall-detection setup in Port Ludlow
A pendant still in its box, an Apple Watch that could detect a fall if someone turned it on, Medical ID never filled in. I set it up and we test it, with the family on the phone.
I set up and test the device you and your doctor chose. Which one to choose is a medical and family decision, not mine.

Common questions
Which medical alert should I get?
That’s a decision for you, your doctor and your family. Once you’ve chosen, I set it up and test it with you.
Does an Apple Watch really detect falls?
It can, when the setting is on and the watch is worn. I turn it on and show you on screen what would happen, without triggering a real call.
Will it call 911 by itself?
Some do, if you don’t respond within a short time. I show you exactly what yours does, step by step, before you rely on it.
