My uncle owns a few elder care franchises and had me look into monitoring services as a funemployment project. So I've spent a bit more time with this than I'd like to admit...

The company I was most impressed with was http://www.halomonitoring.com . The device seems to be designed well and the monitoring services (online portal for caregivers or family members) are impressive, comparatively.

There's kind of a sea change happening with home health monitoring -- from the "I've fallen and can't get up" devices to more robust and interactive solutions. GE recently bought a company that provides institutional monitoring equipment and services.

Lemme know if you want the full report :)
