Does anybody know if the apple watch has functionality that would help in something like this? In this case somebody wouldn't even need to be near the phone (other than bluetooth distance) and could the watch be programmed to call for help automatically if the wearer can't move or the vitals go bad? Life alert seems like a good technology if it was 1990.

Somebody has to have an iPhone, though, to get Siri and has to carry it with them wherever they go. My mother didn't have a cell phone (well, we got her one, but she didn't use it and she couldn't hear much anymore anyway) and even if she did, what are the chances she would have taken it into the bathroom with her when she went to take a shower? And if she had, and maybe placed it on the vanity or on a shelf, fat lot of good that would have done for her when she was on the floor.
With the thing around her neck, she didn't have to think about it.
