Had a recent seizure and was admitted to ICU for 4 days. I’m now stabilized and recovering from home. As a setback, I’m unable to drive for a year. I’m now thinking to use some wearable devices to assist me in case of any hard falls in the future (knock on wood). Is there any android device watches that pair well with pixel phones with good fall detection?

Apple watch is great for keeping an eye on your overall state.

As said above, anything newer than a Series 4 (2018 or newer) will have this capability. I've had a couple of false alerts over the many years of wearing an Apple Watch, and I've got faith that it'll work when detecting a genuine fall.

I'm unsure about Android offerings however.

Galaxy watch will do it, and generally anything else an Apple watch can do.
