    Hi I'm just wondering if anyone knows is there is anything like a blue tooth panic button you can get that worked with a smart phone. Ideally something like a pendant or watch that they could push and it would contact someone , could even have the GPS information in an app. I know it's a long shot and but I just thought it might be interim solution as they have good mobility and are never without the phone....however they may not be able to reach it after a fall or something. Thanks

    Would they consider a smart watch , I know some of them have similar features you are looking for.
    If it’s an iPhone I am nearly sure the Apple Watch has an SOS feature on if.
    They can be expensive but lots iof second hand options about for both android and apple

    Just found this on line

    thanks Harr and i think this might be ideal.
    she is a very independent person and i was concerned that she may take offence to the suggestion of the normal pendant option .....but this that could be the ideal solution without her feeling shes getting old

    Thanks

    No problem , I think the Apple Watch has an application where if a person is motionless for a set period the watch will alert a set contact.
