Fall Alert-My Medic Watch is designed to be downloaded to a wearable device such as a smartwatch. It can be worn by people of all ages who are prone to fall, and people who are still living alone in their home. This ground-breaking app uses proprietary and innovative algorithms, which interprets data automatically captured by sensor technologies on the smartwatch, to determine if the wearer has a Fall. If the wearer does have a fall, Fall Alert-My Medic Watch automatically detects it and notifies all dedicated caregivers, without the need for manual intervention, providing details of the individual’s location.

Fall Alert-My Medic Watch allows people who are vulnerable to falls to get immediate care and assistance when they have a fall, so they remain feeling safe in their normal environment and can keep their autonomy. This process has four steps: 1. Smart Detection: As soon as a fall occurs, Fall Alert-My Medic Watch detects it using smartwatch sensors and an accurate algorithm. 2. Immediate Alert: The app then automatically sends notifications with the wearer’s GPS location to the nominated caregivers without the need for manual intervention based on workflows of escalation. 3. Reassurance for Everyone: All caregivers are sent updates of the progress, keeping everyone informed and reassured. 4. Real-Time Data: Included in the user’s subscription is access to real-time data for all related medical episodes. The user can also choose to give access to his or her doctor, so that their medical data can be reviewed securely, online. The App uses HealthKit to save and store the user's heart rate during the medical episode. Thanks to Fall Alert-My Medic Watch, those with a condition that makes them susceptible to falls, can continue to live independently in their own homes, with ultimate peace of mind.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FallCall Detect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FallCall Detect has 343 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Fall Alert's written reviews are positive against 45% of FallCall Detect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fall Alert ships an update monthly, FallCall Detect every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
