Fall Detection

fall detection devices are a safety net, but not 100% accurate
it's a great safety net if you adust your expectations from "perfection" to "really good"

Mobile Coverage

a mobile alert uses a two-way communication wearable device
there is no call box in your home
the mobile device is a dedicated phone to the alert company
mobile devices use GPS, so the alert opertor can pinpoint your location for emergency personnel or caregivers
