Our verdict
The best medical alert device is the one your parent will actually wear. The Medical Guardian Mini wins on wearability — it's small enough that most users forget they have it on — while still delivering reliable GPS tracking and 24/7 monitoring. The monthly fee is a real cost, but for seniors who live alone, it's hard to argue against.
