Connected watches for the elderly: what are they for?

According to the European Barometer of the Institute for Aging Well published in 2016, more than 90% of people say they want to age at home as long as possible . Today, there are many solutions to make staying at home easier.

Obviously, as technology improves from year to year, devices evolve in terms of performance, uses and aesthetics. No more of the ugly and stigmatizing remote alarm beep that we imposed on our grandparents! Nowadays, there are objects that look more like real jewelry. In recent months, we have also seen the appearance of real connected watches for the elderly .

Senior connected watches:

After some research, we realize that there are now connected watches for the elderly that take into account safety needs in the event of a fall at home or outside. These new products integrate different sensors which make it possible to monitor the heart rate or geolocate the elderly person remotely.

The advantages of a senior connected watch are multiple:

1. geolocation outside and inside the home allows you to know where the user is when he triggers the system or the fall detector is triggered automatically. Significant security for family members who can intervene quickly even if the elderly user has fallen in their garden or during a walk in the country because the exact location of the person is known.
2. the definition of a perimeter around the home . Adapted to neurodegenerative pathologies, this type of Senior SOS watch allows you to define a security zone around the person's home beyond which, as soon as it is crossed, an alert is sent .
3. practicality and aesthetics for the user. Adopting a design from connected watches sold commercially (such as Apple's iWatch or Samsung Gear) , these new anti-fall watches for the elderly are comfortable to wear and give the time in digital format. A significant advantage for people who want to combine business with pleasure!
4. automatic fall detection. Senior SOS watches are not a simple beep bracelet that you have to press on. They currently include a fall detector while having the advantage of displaying the time like a real quartz watch !
