Father’s Day Heart-Health Awareness: How the LiveLife Watch Helps Dad Stay Active — and Safe

Father’s Day is a great time to check in on Dad’s health—especially heart health—and to set simple habits that keep him moving. The LiveLife Watch Alarm combines everyday activity features (steps and heart-rate checks) with powerful safety tools (SOS calling, fall detection and GPS). That means Dad can build healthier routines while you get real peace of mind.

Everyday heart-health features in a safety watch

Step tracking. The LiveLife Watch counts daily steps and can help Dad set simple movement goals—perfect for gentle, sustainable activity.

Heart-rate checks (for awareness, not medical advice). The watch includes a heart-rate monitor so Dad can take spot checks before and after a walk. It’s designed for general awareness only (not a medical device) and is non-TGA approved. Encourage Dad to discuss any concerns with his GP.

Helpful reminders and voice prompts. The watch can provide voice prompts and daily reminders (e.g., activity or medication), and supports 16 languages—useful if English isn’t Dad’s first language.

The safety net that encourages independence

SOS calling and texts to up to six contacts (can call 000). With a press of the side button, the watch shares Dad’s location and begins calling through his chosen contacts— and it can call 000. This makes being active feel safer, especially when walking alone.

Fall detection with smart sensors. Optional fall detection uses a 3D accelerometer (angle, impact force and time of no movement) with a short cancellation window to reduce false alarms. If not cancelled, it sends alerts and starts calling.

GPS location + geofencing. If Dad wanders beyond a set “safe zone,” the watch can send a warning text—handy for families managing dementia risk. GPS links help responders find him quickly.

Works wherever there’s mobile coverage. LiveLife devices use the 4G/4GX network for nationwide portability—ideal for walks, the park, or holidays.

Shower-friendly confidence. Slips often happen in the bathroom; Dad can keep the watch on around water and in particular, the shower.

Quick start: set up heart-health features in minutes

• Add contacts & SOS: Set up Dad’s emergency contacts (and 000) so calls and texts are ready. Our videos walk through setup and testing.
• Turn on steps & HR: Encourage Dad to take a heart rate reading before/after a short walk and note the difference.
• Practice SOS & cancel: Give Dad confidence by practicing an SOS activation and then cancelling during the countdown.
• Test fall detection safely: Our fall-detection article explains how it works and how to trial it thoughtfully so the family understands what happens.

A simple Father’s Day challenge

Kick off a “1500-steps-a-day” week with Dad.

• Day 1–2: Casual strolls—check steps on the watch.
• Day 3–5: Add a second short walk.
• Day 6–7: Choose a scenic loop; take a pre/post heart rate spot check to see recovery.
  Keep things gentle and enjoyable, and remind Dad that any concerning symptoms should be discussed with his GP. (The Heart rate feature is for general wellness awareness only.)

Why families love this approach

• Builds healthy habits with easy step targets and simple heart rate awareness.
• Maintains independence thanks to SOS, fall detection and GPS support.
• Reduces anxiety for everyone—knowing the watch can contact loved ones (and 000) fast.
