Medical Alert
Surfing around today I found another cool product I am tempted to get for my father-in-law. I have fallen and I can’t get up is a real possibility with him. He is just too damned stubborn for his own good most of the time to do like he should. Four years ago he decided to shovel snow in his typical old man dress shoes. Needless to say he fell and cracked two vertebra and was in a back brace for most the next year. Laying in the snow for more than an hour with his heart problems and diabetes didn’t do him any good either. The Medical Alert bracelet would have made things a lot safer for him then.
Things haven’t gotten any better for him since. With the addition of COP and failing memory this grand little device would reduce a lot of anxiety on everyone’s parts. The GPS in the Medical Alert monitor would have saved us all a lot of worry before we finally had to take his keys. It is more than just knowing where he is too. The fall alert, no activity feature and the medication reminders are even more useful now that he is often times home alone. I especially like the no activity feature which if it doesn’t detect any movement over a significant period of time will initiate a response. Of course I wonder how many personal reminders he would have it to just for someone to talk to. All in all this seems like a really good product to look into if you have someone in your life you are worried about.
