The mCareWatch is a personal emergency watch designed for the elderly and disabled to improve their personal safety.
It has been a life saver for countless wearers as well as offering peace of mind to families not living with their loved ones.
The watch has numerous safety features including automatic SOS calls to up to six pre-set contacts if the SOS button is activated, GPS and Wi-Fi location tracking, fall detection and non-movement alerts as well as auto answer and chat. Additionally, it can be used as a reminder function to alert the wearer that it is time to take medication or go to an appointment.
The current watch is the eighth iteration with the upgrades being:
For dementia wearers the SOS can be deactivated and it becomes more of a tracker. Numbers that aren't pre-programmed into the phone don't get through, putting an end to unwanted sales calls.
The mCareWatch is connected to the company's proprietary software platform called ConnectiveCare. This enables a carer or family member to access care-related data on a desktop or via a mobile App. This provides real time updates and notifications. It is based on a subscription model.
