People are living longer than ever before, with the number of people over 80 years old expected to significantly increase over the next 15 years. This raises the need for more resources and staff in elderly care, which many countries are already struggling with.
In partnership with Telia, Sensorem has launched a smartwatch for older people that aims to transform the elderly care industry. The smartwatch is equipped with features such as a safety alarm, GPS tracker, inactivity alarm, voice calls and medication reminder. It is designed to be easy to use for older people with limited digital skills. It can be connected and used globally, both indoors and outdoors.
The smartwatch has helped improve the freedom and quality of life of older people, allowing them to be more independent and active. It also potentially enables them to live at home for longer. Families benefit from peace of mind, knowing they can receive alarms and engage in voice calls through the watch.
Using Telia Managed IoT Connectivity, Sensorem can ensure reliable connectivity for its smartwatches – crucial for customer safety, especially in remote areas. The collaboration has also streamlined Sensorem’s business operations, making them more efficient and enabling expansion into new markets. Overall, the smartwatch represents a step forward in the digitalisation of elderly care.
