Apple Watch can serve as an example of wearable tech that may be used as part of a medical alert system; however, its lack of an exclusive call center and requirement of using an iPhone may make this approach less suitable than others for people requiring constant medical care; additionally, overestimation of activity or movement could potentially pose a problem when used alone.
