So, Apple Watch or similar tech?

I expect vitals monitoring to become more commonplace. It doesn't help with your second example, though.

The misery of the one who cares for you at that moment being a smartwatch is enough to cut years off ones life.

I can imagine a time (not there yet) when -- if lifelike android companions existed, and I had one -- I could forget that it wasn't human. Especially if it nagged me about stuff.

More realistically, I can imagine that about a homecare worker.
