This is interesting "It is an alarm should I fall and need help, and can even call emergency service if i passed out and could not call for help myself" - at the moment she wears a device around her neck that she can activate a speaker to call for help if she has a fall. The limitations of course are that it's tied to her accommodation and it's of no help if she can't speak. Will definitely look into this.I do not know about the phone app, but my daughter got her father apple AirPods and when he wore those, she said that he could hear what she said on the phone, and he also spoke clearer when he spoke to her; so that is a possibility.
If you get your mom a Fitbit that is also a phone, it can connect with her phone and whatever google app works for sharing location with each other. I LOVE my Apple Watch !

The hospital here has an app called HealtheLife, and any time I go to any of the doctors offices that use the hospital, it all goes into my records and I can access it from the app. I think that most doctors have an online portal that works this way, if you ask your doctor about it, or look on their website.
I am 78, so not far from my 80’s, and was “raised” by 3 kids who all love technology; and when I asked a question about why something was not working for me, the first response was , “Did you Google it, Mom ?”
So, I learned to look and try to figure things out before asking for help from the kids, and I really enjoy my phone, ipads, and apple watch because they add a lot to my life.
She has gotten pretty good at Googling I have to say ... whenever a doctor prescribes something she always checks out the medication and side effects which is really great.
