Problem
Many seniors experience delayed emergency assistance because traditional alarm systems are bulky, require a base station, or are conspicuous, limiting their ability to call for help while active at home or outdoors. This gap reduces independence and creates anxiety for both users and their families.
Solution
Patronus offers a compact, water‑ and dust‑proof wrist‑worn device that embeds a cellular SIM and a single‑press emergency button. When activated, the device establishes a voice link with a 24/7 staffed call centre, which can dispatch rescue services and simultaneously notify pre‑registered contacts. User profiles—including medical conditions, medication lists, and emergency contacts—are stored in the backend and presented to responders in real time. A companion mobile app lets relatives monitor status, update profile data, and receive push notifications of incidents. The hardware is designed to resemble a standard watch, ensuring discretion while remaining easy to operate for users with limited dexterity. Subscription plans are tiered, with a low‑cost basic tariff and higher‑value options that include additional features and longer contract terms. A 14‑day risk‑free trial allows users to evaluate comfort and functionality before committing.
Target Audience
Active seniors in Germany who wish to maintain independence, and their family members or caregivers responsible for their safety.
