Apple Watch Patent Turns Device into Urgent Care Alert System

Neither, i just don't live in a fantasy. I care deeply about LIVING THINGS and more without lying to myself the "show" will go on forever. You said "freak out" - do you understand the difference??!
Spend time with your parent now while you can and stop "freaking out". That did not ever help anyone!
Don't try to control all, you can't. If you want NSA style overwatch, then install WIFI cameras in her house to observe every minute of her life.

You are a marvelous troll. Enjoy.

"Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!"

Siri [cherfully indifferent]: "I'm not sure I understand. Would you like me to lock the doors and turn the lights off?"

There. Done!"

Completely agree. I work for a medical device company, and I truly believe Apple does not want to be a medical device company but rather ENABLE MD companies to make cool devices and software that work around this. There's just way too much FDA red tape to get through. Of course Apple will be happy to collect a little licensing royalty on the side..
