How Choose A Suitable Smartwatch for Seniors Living Alone
According to a study from the U.S., 12 million seniors over the age of 65 live alone . The point is, how to keep our aged parents safe and healthy while living at home or leaving home alone?
 
  • GPS
    • First of all, a simple smartwatch for seniors should definitely come with a reliable GPS function. Not only can this help find the shortest path home but also help us be aware of our seniors' situations when they leave home.
  • Fall Alarm / Fall Detection app
    • A senior smartwatch with fall detection is crucial. If an elderly person is prone to falls, a smartwatch with this feature allows the user to call for help without pressing any buttons. That is to say, any fall automatically activates the sensor and sends a medical alert to the contacts.
  • Emergency SOS
    • If a senior requires assistance in any other situation, the emergency SOS feature allows our seniors to call 911 or another emergency number when outside of the US to seek instant medical help. A suitable smartwatch with the app informs the emergency services about our aged parents' location.
  • Basic Health-monitoring apps
    • ​Heart rate monitor and the sleep quality tracker as well as medication reminders are quite important for us and care givers to check our beloved aged parents' current health status while they are alone. 
  • Pedometer
    • Usually we do hope our seniors exercises regularly for being keeping a healthier status. Pedometers, also known as Step Counters, can help keep track of the distance traveled and calories burned during our seniors' day and make sure that they have enough physical activity daily.
