Alzheimer Scotland

CPR Guardian

This is a smart watch that you can use to raise the alarm if you feel you need help. It has two-way talk feature allowing you to talk to an emergency contact and get help. It is also a falls detector and will automatically call someone for you if you fall. It will also provide live GPS tracking connected to your family members if you need this. Family members can connect to the watch via a companion app on their smartphone. The watch works similar to a regular smart watch and monitors your step count and heart rate.

Reviews

Alan is proud to wear the watch as he likes the way it looks. He feels empowered and independent wearing it. It has a big enough face and is intutive. People have got used to Alan wearing his watch. It's creating great dialogue with all his pals and I feel is enhancing his life. It makes me feel good knowing Alan is safe.
