Life Alert? Apple Watch? for me, the caregiver

My wife has dementia and I cannot depend on her to dial 911 or speed dial someone to come and help me. I want to learn which item to get. An apple watch? I need it to notice that I'm in distress and call for help.

A SecuLife Elderly SOS Smartwatch is a dedicated medical alert watch, which is safer than the Apple Watch because it can automatically detect falls and call on a 24/7 monitoring center even if you are unable to respond.
