Problem
Many seniors living independently feel unsafe due to the risk of falls, medical emergencies, or getting lost, especially when they are alone and away from home. Traditional home-based alarm systems do not provide adequate protection for active seniors who value their independence and mobility.
Solution
Sensorem offers a personal alarm system designed as a stylish, discreet smartwatch that provides seniors with a way to call for help from anywhere, including outdoors. The watch uses mobile network connectivity and GPS tracking to ensure that assistance is available whether the user is at home, traveling, or enjoying outdoor activities. In an emergency, the user presses the alarm button, which sends an alert to a predefined list of relatives via SMS and push notifications, and initiates a call to their phones through the watch's built-in speakerphone. If relatives are unable to respond, the call is automatically routed to Sensorem's 24/7 alarm center, which can assess the situation and dispatch emergency services if needed.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is seniors who live independently and their concerned relatives who want to ensure their safety and well-being, as well as municipalities looking for telecare solutions.
