Fall detection devices — smartwatches and GPS wearables with automatic fall alerts — give caregivers peace of mind when their elderly loved one is home alone. When a fall is detected, the device sends an alert to designated contacts, reducing the time the senior spends on the floor without help.
In Singapore, fall detection devices may qualify for AIC SMF subsidy with an OT or doctor recommendation. Not all models are on the AIC approved list — check with your OT before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are fall detection devices covered by AIC SMF in Singapore?
Some fall detection devices may qualify under AIC SMF as assistive technology. Eligibility depends on the specific model being on the AIC approved list and a doctor or OT recommendation. Check with your OT before purchasing. See homewise.sg/subsidies/smf for details.
How accurate is automatic fall detection?
Accuracy varies by device and algorithm. Consumer smartwatches use accelerometer and gyroscope data to detect sudden impacts. False positives do occur from sudden movements. Dedicated elderly safety devices are often more reliable for fall detection than consumer smartwatches.
What is the best fall detection device for elderly in Singapore?
For seniors comfortable with smartphones, a 4G smartwatch with GPS and SOS button works well. For seniors who prefer simplicity, a dedicated personal alarm pendant with long battery life may be more practical. Our AI Advisor can help identify the right option based on your loved one's situation.
