The fall detection alert kept going off for no reason

Reply from Medical Guardian

Erma, thank you for the review. You can minimize false alarms with fall detection by ensuring that your device is worn at approximately chest level without too much slack. This will prevent it from swinging around as much and limit false alarms. Please reach back out if you have any other questions or concerns. Have a great day!
