[Citroënbender]

Neighbour has one of those subscription service pendants that have fall detection plus a duress button. These functions work pretty well. It’s got a couple of problems, she takes it off to bathe and (so, she could fall undetected in the shower) it doesn’t track pulse.

I was sent charging in by a panicked niece calling from interstate late one recent evening because the old dear wasn’t answering her phones (mobile flat, hearing aids taken out for the evening). If they’d been able to know remotely she had a normal pulse, they’d have not worried so much.
