At home or on the go, Apple Watch users with the Lively app can
get assistance from highly trained Lively Urgent Response Agents to
get help in emergency and non-emergency situations. Agents can
assist with everything from medical emergencies to sending help if
a user has car trouble.
Plus, with the Live Agent Assist feature (coming soon), when
Apple Watch detects a hard fall, Lively Agents will provide an
extra layer of protection by calling users to make sure they’re OK
and contacting family members if needed. Best Buy Health worked
closely with Apple on this upcoming feature, which is one of the
first to use Apple’s new fall detection API to help protect the
health and safety of users who have taken a hard fall.
“By offering these powerful safety features on Apple Watch,
we’re creating a new way to achieve a greater sense of connection
and independence for older adults, and added peace of mind for both
them and their families,” said David Inns, Best Buy Health’s
president of active aging. “It’s the perfect next step in
furthering Best Buy Health’s mission to enrich and save lives
through technology and meaningful connections.”
To access Lively Health & Safety Services on Apple Watch,
users must download the Lively app from the App Store using Apple
Watch Series 4 or newer and have a Lively Health & Safety plan.
Users who agree to a two-year Preferred Health & Safety
contract can get up to $200 off the purchase of a new Apple Watch
Series 6, or up to $150 off the purchase of a new Apple Watch SE,
only at Best Buy.
The Preferred Health & Safety package includes access to
these features:
- Urgent Response, which provides a connection to highly
trained Agents who can help in emergencies, big or small, 24/7. Get
help fast by simply adding the Urgent Response button to Apple
Watch face.
- Urgent Care, which allows the user to speak to a
registered nurse or board-certified doctor from the comfort of home
or on the go, without an appointment, 24/7. No insurance plan or
co-pay is needed.
- GreatCall Link app for friends and family, which keeps
them informed about their loved one’s health and safety. They will
be alerted on their smartphone if their loved one contacts Urgent
Response and can even get updates on their location, device’s
battery life and daily activity.
Best Buy Health aims to enrich and save lives through technology
and meaningful connections. Its strategy focuses on three main
areas: consumer health products that help customers live healthier
lives, device-based emergency response services for the active
aging population, and virtual care offerings that help to connect
patients and physicians.
