Is there an alarm watch that can be worn, not fringed ones, to detect when nasal cannula comes out of my mom's nose?

My mom has copd and is basically in last stage as heartbreaking it is for me to say. Lately when she is asleep she wakes up with her nasal cannula out and don’t even know how long it’s been out. It’s been happening every night I’m baffled that the concentrater doesn’t have some type of alarm that goes off when the cannula comes out. I’ve been searching for weeks and just need a watch preferably that has a sound alarm on it to go off when it comes out n her oxygen drops I’m so concerned and frustrated that I can’t find anything for this serious issue.

The only monitor is a saturation monitor plugged in and not battery. It will need to be hospital grade with an alarm setting that will wake her. However if the sensor falls off it will also alarm. Insurance will not cover this. It is not commonly found in DME businesses, but you can ask them to reach out to the manufacturers like Maismo

Have you tried taping it to her face to keep it in?
