Our Story
Faced with this challenge, Booth set out on a mission to create a smartwatch that can give vulnerable populations greater independence. Her company, UnaliWear, has created the Kanega Watch, the only watch with built-in Fall Detection that connects to emergency response agents 24/7/365. Until her mother passed away in late 2018, Booth continued to run every prototype by her mother to make sure her tech made sense in the real world (her mother had the title of “Senior Experience Officer” – both literally and figuratively). That’s why the Kanega Watch is water-resistant, voice, button and fall detection activated, and it never needs to be removed to charge (among other key features) – providing real round-the-clock peace of mind for wearers and those that care for them. Booth’s mother loved her Kanega Watch and the stylish, discreet protection it provided her and the growing community of wearers throughout the country.

What People are Saying
How can any one in 2023 not get this?
Did a lot of research including the Apple Watch which, while appealing, had a number of drawbacks including the fact it connects directly to 911 not a service. Finally found the Kanega which had distinct advantages.
1) Does not come off, just snap in the recharged batteries and snap the others in the charger.
2) Connects to a service not 911…
3) Waterproof.

A great alternative to an Apple Watch
A great alternative to an Apple Watch designed specifically for seniors. I have been very pleased with my watch so far. It is a reasonably priced way to ensure that someone left alone for many hours in the day is still connected to the outside world to maintain his safety.
Best medical device
I fell 2 months ago and broke my left femur. I was so lucky to have been wearing my Kanega Watch. It saved me. It detected my fall and an ambulance was sent to my residence. I am grateful for my Kanega Watch
Best medical device
I looked for a long time for a medical device that was not a necklace. This Kanega Watch works great and the best part is the staff. **************** is awesome, best I have seen anyway. They truly care about your situation and your experience.
I’ve loved it since I put it on
My daughter-in-law found the Kanega watch for me. I’ve loved it since I put it on. I have Cerebral Palsy, and I live alone. Falls have become more frequent in recent years. Now that I have the watch, my kids are far less worried. I love keeping it on night and day, even in the shower.
Life saver
My 93 year old father wandered into the garage at 2:30 am. one night. The lights went out and he fell. Thank goodness he was wearing his Kanega Watch. We immediately received a call that he had fallen.
Dedicated to the well-being of their customers
UnaliWear customer service is beyond excellent. The customer service I receive with my Kanega watch is the result of a company culture that is dedicated to the well-being of their customers.
AMAZING customer service
The watch works amazingly well, and the response is almost instant. The best is the AMAZING customer service. It is prompt, polite, professional, and attentive. I wouldn’t have any other system, and I can wear it 24 hours a day.
