Subject: early warning alert for sudden death?

A friend of mine was discovered deceased Monday morning Jan 3 in his bed.   
Due to the timing of the holiday, it was 4-5 days after his death that he was 
discovered.   If some concerned friends hadn't checked, it would have been 

probably a full week before his employers reported his absence.   Sadly he was 
not 
a cryonicist, and will be missed by those who new him.    As someone in the 
midst of cryonics funding, and due to the fact I'm single, and my roommate is 
often gone for long periods of time, I'm very interested in some sort of life 
alert system that would notify someone if I were to have a sudden heart attack 
or other problem.   I am checking into my bel air/ADT security company system, 
but does anyone know of any companies that would provide such a service? I'm 
thinking that it would be very simple, a wristwatch that you wear, if it 

doesn't pick up your pulse for a few minutes it could buzz a warning, if you 
don't 
respond it could alert via cell technology or GPS an emergency alert.   Anyway 
I'm very concerned about this issue for reasons of personal survival.   I'd 
love to hear some discussion on this group about this.   I thought there was a 
company that did a sort of life alert bracelet that was very affordable in teh 
USA.   Also satellite cell phone technology that would be available anywhere 
in the world would be a great idea. Perhaps this life alert could be 

approached to see if their service or bracelet might be modified and adapted for
cryonics?   Does anyone have any information on these technologies?
