Our lightweight personal alarms are designed to keep you safe when you are out and about meaning you can keep doing what makes you happy, whether that be exercising, shopping, meeting friends or enjoying a hobby. Just like the other alarms we've discussed, the Fall Detector can be worn on the wrist like a watch. However, unlike the Minuet and the MyAmie, it can detect when the user has a fall. It's programmed to the wearer's height and contains a sensor that will automatically raise the alarm when it detects a sudden drop. Personal alarms and monitoring systems can alert call centres or carers if you experience a problem, either at home or outside, such as a fall - you may hear this called telecare. A key safe is fixed to an outdoor wall. You use a code – that you can choose – to open it.

Unlike some sleep headphones I tried, the pouch concealed any blinking light you sometimes get with Bluetooth devices. Pros: Very customizable, has options for helping you fall asleep, gentle wake-up, optional sound, many alarms Setup: For each alarm, I tried to set it up without reading the instructions to see how intuitive they were. I then set them up again after reading the manual to make sure the directions were easy to follow. They will then send alerts to family, carers or a monitoring service. Some systems can also adjust or turn off appliances if they detect a problem.

I listen to audiobooks to fall asleep, and it was nice knowing that my alarm would play through the headphones in the morning. After the alarm went off, I would invariably leave the headphones on and paired to my phone by accident. Yet they lasted well over a week without me needing to charge them.
