Telus Health’s emergency response service now available on Apple Watch


VANCOUVER — Telus Health announced today its LivingWell Companion personal emergency response service is now available on Apple Watch.

The new Telus Health Companion on Apple Watch combines LivingWell Companion’s 24/7 emergency monitoring service with Apple Watch’s fall detection and location-sharing capabilities to provide emergency response to users like seniors who have taken a hard fall. Trained operators at Telus Health’s central monitoring station will immediately contact the customer to confirm the emergency, and then alert the customer’s designated emergency contacts and, if needed, dispatch emergency support.

Customers with an Apple Watch Series 4 or later can add the Telus Health Companion service for $30 per month. New users can purchase a cellular-enabled Apple Watch with the Telus Health Companion monitoring service starting from $54 per month.

To use the service, all users must have a post-paid wireless Telus plan with an iPhone 6 or later, and have the latest iOS installed.
