Now that I have reached senior status I have begun considering whether it is a good idea to have some sort of a wearable medical alert.

  

15 years ago I got one for my mother but it only worked in her apartment and as long as she was within a short distance from the controller and her telephone.

  

With the changes in technology over the years I assume that there must be reasonably-priced devices that work in a shower and from wherever one is.

  

I’d be interested in input from someone who has studied this and has some sort of device and experience with it.  One of my first thoughts was an Apple watch but I have no Apple products and my gut says that this would be an expensive option.
