Dive Brief:
Best Buy Health has released multiple health and safety tools for older adults via Apple Watch, the company announced Wednesday.
To access Lively Health & Safety Services on an Apple Watch, users must have the Lively app and a Lively Health & Safety Plan. The Preferred Health & Safety package has various features, including: Urgent Response, which connects customers with agents to assist in emergencies; Urgent Care, which lets users speak to a registered nurse or board-certified doctor without an appointment at any time; and the GreatCall Link app, which notifies loved ones in a crisis and provides updates regarding the device.
Best Buy s senior and eldercare technology brand, Best Buy Health, now allows users to call for help directly from Apple Watch.
Best Buy Health is expanding users options to take advantage of their Lively Health & Safety Services, enabling users to use their Apple Watch to access all of Lively s services.
Users will need to have an Apple Watch Series 4 or newer and subscribe to a Lively Health & Safety Plan. Users who agree to a two-year Preferred Health and Safety contract will get $200 off the purchase of an Apple Watch Series 6 or $150 off the purchase of a new Apple Watch SE through Best Buy.
