Many of us have parents we worry about, so gadgets that let us keep aware of their condition can be very useful.
Another attractive new option was just introduced at the CES this year: Great Call Lively Wearable. If my mom were still alive, I would seriously consider getting this for her.

https://www.greatcall.com/phones-devices/lively-wearable-senior-activity-trackerDesigned to help both seniors and their families, the Lively combines Fitbit-like fitness tracking with an always-on emergency service. Worn on the wrist or as a necklace, it pairs with a smartphone to gauge and report activity. A companion app offers daily challenges and virtual rewards for goals, and shares updates with family members. With a press of Lively’s emergency button, a service called 5Star responds. The device can also make a call if it senses a fall. The waterproof Lively lasts up to six months on a charge. Arriving in the spring, it will cost $100 ($50 if preordered this month), plus $15 a month for emergency service.
