Smallest SOS Watch In the Range
Australia's Newest SOS Watch
The Guardian MediWatch Slim is our thinnest and most discreet SOS watch yet. Just like the original MediWatch, it can be worn on the wrist, as a pendant, or clipped to a brooch for pocket‑watch style convenience. Clear, concise voice prompts in up to 8 languages give you instant reassurance that your personal alarm is always working for you.
Don’t miss out on the latest personal alarm SOS watch technology.
Thin & Discreet
The original MediWatch is 17mm thick. The MediWatch Slim is only 12mm thin, easily blending in with everyday wear.
Inactivity Alerts
Emergency contacts can receive SMS alerts when the MediWatch Slim wearer hasn't moved for a set period of time.
Dexterity-friendly
Press & hold the SOS button OR the screen to trigger an SOS activation. The SOS button can be disabled to prevent false alarms.
Showerproof
The device is showerproof but cannot be worn while swimming or in a bath. Can be worn while doing the dishes (but not submerged).
Emergency Alarm Activation
How does it work?
A simple press and hold of the SOS button activates the MediWatch Slim’s emergency sequence. You can choose who the MediWatch Slim calls, whether it’s a list of known emergency contacts or a 24/7 professional monitoring company. In either scenario, those who you trust in an emergency will receive your GPS location to help them find you.
Struggle with dexterity?
A custom feature allows you to press and hold your finger anywhere on the screen to trigger the SOS sequence. You can also cancel using the screen if the SOS sequence is triggered accidentally.
__________
If family monitored, contacts receive a prompt to press 1 after answering the call to confirm they are a human. This helps the device avoid getting stuck in voicemail. Failing to press 1 within 30 seconds of answering triggers the personal alarm to automatically hang up and call the next emergency contact.
If professionally monitored, an alert is sent to the monitoring centre. Within seconds, they call your device, which answers automatically, while simultaneously accessing your client profile and relevant medical information.

Each device is personally set up and tested by a trained medical alert technician here at Guardian. These settings can be changed by us remotely for free as part of the lifetime service that comes with your MediWatch.

Once testing is complete, we deliver it from our office according to your preference, whether you want to pick it up, use a local courier, or have it sent via Australia Post.

After it arrives, we strongly recommend you turn it on right away and perform a test to make sure it works how you’d like it to.

If the device senses what may have been a fall, a call is made to emergency contacts, similar to the SOS button being pressed. The difference being that the voice prompt identifies the alarm as a fall alert. If worn on the wrist instead of on a lanyard or as a brooch, fall detection is less effective. This is due to the fact that fall detection is based on acceleration being built up over a short period of time. Since the wrist/hand movement is less consistent and unpredictable during a fall, the automatic fall detection may be less likely to activate.
Note: Due to the varied nature of falls, some falls may not register. We can adjust the sensitivity if necessary. However, in the event of a fall, do not wait for the Fall Alert alarm sound but press and hold the SOS button if you are conscious.
The MediWatch Slim looks like the Apple watch and is very similar in size. The most thin apple watch is 9.7mm while the MediWatch Slim is 12mm. Compare this to the MediWatch original which is 17mm.
The MediWatch Slim also does not need to paired with a phone when initially set up, it’s a standalone device.
The main advantages of the MediWatch Slim are its size, simple interface, the inexpensive ongoing costs, multiple geofences, and belonging to a well known brand such as Guardian, committed to lifetime support for any of your ongoing needs.
Charge the MediWatch Slim once a day. Battery life is affected by the user’s location; areas with weaker GPS and/or cell signal may drain the battery faster.
