What Technology Can Help Monitor Grandma’s Falls at Home?

Another option is to look into Garmin watches, like the Garmin Lily. It's less intimidating since it looks more like a regular watch, but it still tracks falls and location.

You might want to consider a dedicated call button designed for seniors. My grandma has one, and it works like a charm. She wears it as a necklace or wristband, and it calls a service when she presses the button. It can be set up to alert a contact instead of just a service, depending on what you prefer.

I initially thought about using a seismometer with a Raspberry Pi, since my house has wooden floors. It might sound a little out there, but it could actually work well for detecting falls!

If my mother-in-law can figure out an Apple Watch, I'm sure your grandma can too! We actually got it for her because she’s a fall risk. Once she got used to it, it was a great solution.
