If you're an iPhone user, an Apple Watch might be the way to go. I don't
have personal experience with them, but I know they can do things like
alert on loss of pulse or movement and should be able to do geofencing,
where they alert when the watch moves out of a designated area. And they
can do messaging and reminders, of course.

I don't think Android watches are at the same level, but I'm not sure.
