Problem
Elderly individuals with cognitive impairments or mobility issues are at risk of getting lost or experiencing emergencies without a means of seeking help. Families often struggle with the challenge of ensuring their loved ones' safety and independence while maintaining peace of mind. Traditional methods of monitoring can be intrusive or stigmatizing, impacting the senior's sense of autonomy.
Solution
Neki provides a range of GPS tracking devices designed to enhance the safety and autonomy of seniors. These devices, including watches, pendants, and belt attachments, offer real-time location monitoring and an SOS button for immediate assistance. Caregivers can utilize a dedicated mobile app to track the wearer's location, set up safe zones, and receive alerts if the individual enters or exits these areas. Neki's devices aim to provide a discreet and user-friendly solution for families seeking to balance safety and independence for their elderly loved ones, with 24/7 monitoring available through Neki Teleasistencia.
Target Audience
Neki's primary target audience includes families and caregivers of elderly individuals, particularly those with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments, as well as seniors who are at risk of falling or getting lost.
