I have fallen 2x’s in the last two months. Both times I was not in a place that I had my phone in order to call for help.  Does Fitbit have an app that will notify emergency contact of a fall?

Hi @ECFarmer 

I'm sorry to hear you have taken a few tumbles recently. I hope you weren't injured. 

As far as I know, Fitbit does not currently have fall detection functionality. New feature are always being developed, so it might be something we see in the future.

I'm sorry to hear about your falls, and more importantly, that you were not able to contact anyone after the fall. I live alone as well, and my son-in-law recently set me up with a FitBit and an app called BUDDY on it that has fall detection. Now, if I were to fall, he would get automatically notified about it. I think if you search "BUDDY by LiveFreely" on google, it will probably give more information about it.
