While the Apple Watch is a great smart watch with a few life safety features, it is not a dedicated life safety device for seniors like the Kanega Watch:
đ˛The Kanega Watch is designed to catch falls from seniors, not just hard falls or crashes while riding mountain bikes.
đ The Kanega Watch is designed to be easy to use, without fiddly touch screens or complicated apps running on a tiny screen. Everything is controlled via a single button, or via voice control. The speaker is loud to support wearers with hearing impairment, and the bright, high-contrast display makes it easier to read for older eyes.
đ While the Apple Watch gets help via 911, the Kanega Watch connects to a US-based, five-diamond certified emergency monitoring center. Unlike 911, these monitoring center operators know who you are, can bypass 911 to directly dispatch emergency services, and can provide important information to first responders such as drug allergies and door codes / hidden key locations. They can also call friends and family members to assist with minor emergencies.
đ Apple Watches must be removed to charge, leaving wearers unprotected for part of their day. Our patented, swappable battery system means the Kanega Watch keeps wearers safe 24/7, including during trips to the bathroom at night when Apple Watches are often charging.
