Which Apple Watch should I get my parents so they get this benefit. Do all of them have the ability?

4 and above, including the newer SE have fall detection, heartrate monitor, and ECG. Will also keep track of their daily activities standing, walking, exercise.

I think 8 has temp detection.

No need to pay for the 8 ultra unless you are climbing Everest IMO. Not worth the price just for Health monitoring.

Edit to add: I find the walking and standing reminders are great for avoiding clots that can lead to strokes if they sit or lay down too much.

It's big push is around the new ultra version. Most will have something but the ultra professes to have it all. But it's a pricy and big lump
