Four Years in a Row, A Trusted Name in Safety

We’re proud to announce that the New York Times Wirecutter has once again recognized the Kanega Watch as the Best On-the-Go Medical Alert Device, marking the fourth consecutive year of this honor.

For families looking to protect the people they love while preserving independence and dignity, this recognition reinforces what our wearers and caregivers already know: the Kanega Watch was built differently.

Unlike traditional medical alert systems, the Kanega Watch was designed specifically for active older adults who want protection both at home and on the go. The Wirecutter review highlighted features that continue to set the Kanega Watch apart, including:

  • Automatic fall detection
  • Built-in cellular connectivity and GPS
  • Voice activated emergency assistance
  • A discreet watch design that looks like a normal smartwatch
  • Continuous wearability without removing it to charge

Most importantly, the Kanega Watch helps seniors stay connected to help when it matters most, whether they’re walking the dog, shopping, traveling, or simply enjoying everyday life with confidence.

This recognition belongs to our entire UnaliWear community: our dedicated team, our caregivers, and especially our wearers who trust us every day.

Thank you for allowing us to continue our mission of extending independence with dignity.
